What is the door on the spacecraft called?
I think a hatch
The door on the spacecraft is called?
Hatch Lock Airlock
When did the astronauts enter Apollo 11?
The astronauts entered the Apollo spacecraft by a hatch.
What is the escape hatch on spaceship called?
It is called a "Soyuz Hatch." Soyuz is the name of a series of manned spacecraft that have been in use by the former Soviet Union and Russia since the mid 1960s.
What was the cause of the Apollo 1 fire?
The cause of the Apollo 1 fire was a flash fire that ignited in the pure oxygen environment of the capsule during a launch pad test. The fire was triggered by a spark from exposed wiring that ignited a flammable material in the spacecraft, leading to the tragic deaths of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. This incident prompted significant safety changes in the design and testing of spacecraft.
Why was it easy to open the hatch once the submarine is filled with water?
A submarine hatch can be opened fairly easily if the submarine is filled with water because the water pressure on each side of the hatch is equalized.
When you enter a submarine underneath the water does water enter in the submarine?
Yes and no - though water never enters the crew compartment, there are accesses known as escape trunks that are primarily designed for escape use by crews of a sunken submarine. However, they're also used for exit/entry by rescue divers/crew or SEAL teams. Each trunk has an outer and an inner hatch; the space between hatches is used to let water in to flood the trunk and to equalize the pressure to the surrounding sea pressure, in order to allow opening of the outer hatch. The trunk is accessed from the pressure hull (crew compartment) via the inner hatch, and then the inner hatch is sealed. The trunk is then flooded until the pressure is equalized, and then the occupants exit. After the occupants have exited and closed the outer hatch, the trunk is emptied of water using high pressure air. Once it's purged of water, the air pressure inside the trunk is then equalized with the air pressure inside the crew compartment, so the inner hatch can be opened again and the process restarted.
Why do alligators hatch from eggs?
They grow inside the egg and the pressure grows and the egg stats to crack.
Which apollo mission resulted of three astronauts death?
Apollo 1 resulted in three astronauts's deaths .When the three astronauts came in the space craft the pressure in the cabin was 16 PSI {pounds of pressure per square inch} and the outside pressure was 14 PSI.And ,unfortunately the astronauts had an inward opening hatch which didn't have a handlers was used to keep water out of the module when it splashed down.An electrical problem happened and at 16 PSI every thing burns aluminum wire sealing control pads ...... The astronauts were doomed.
How do you get in the windows on steamworks island?
There are no windows that open inward on Steamworks Island. There is a skylight in the City Hall that can be opened with the Multi-Tool. You go out the hatch above Zack's room in the living quarters, to reach the Mech Crank on the vines.
How does the cabin of the submarine get pressurized?
"Pressure in the Boat" is the proper term, and it is closely monitored while underway submerged. A drop in pressure indicates a leak somewhere onboard. Once all hatches are closed and dogged, overall internal pressure is increased slightly to determine if there is a good seal on all hatches prior to diving. Air is bled into the pressure hull as necessary to do this, though the pressure isn't that much. The pressure is monitored constantly. In emergency flooding cases, a compartment can be pressurized with compressed air to halt incoming water (or force it out). Over time, pressure will increase as air is bled into the boat, and when surfacing and opening a hatch for the first time, crew must be extremely careful as the pressure is strong enough to eject a person out of the hatchway. All hatches have dog latches that prevent the hatch from being just being opened, and if there's too much pressure, it'll prevent the hatch from being blown open. However, it won't prevent someone from being blown into the hatch if they're not careful.
Why was Buzz Aldrin the second man on the moon was there a specific order or a problem?
Buzz Aldrin was going to be the first man to step into the moon but the lunar module hatch opens inward to the right, and Buzz, who stood right behind it, had a difficulty climbing out.
