The Space Shuttles are transported on the back of one of the two Crawler-Transporter vehicles. They were both made by the Marion Power Shovel Company in the early 1960s.

The Specifications are:

Height: 20-26 feet (the crawlers can raise and lower themselves on hydraulic cylinders)

Width: 113 feet

length: 131 feet

weight: 55 million pounds ( 27,500 tons)

Number of tread belt shoes: 456

Tread belt shoe size: 1.5 x 7.5 feet, 2,200 pounds

Power-plant: 2 Alco 16-cylinder 2,750 HP Diesel Engines, 42 feet per-gallon

Max Speed: 2 MPH

Why a rocket is always launched vertically?

Rockets are generally launched vertically to minimize air resistance and ensure a more efficient trajectory. Launching vertically helps reduce the amount of fuel needed to counteract gravity and achieve the necessary velocity to escape Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, a vertical launch provides a clear path for the rocket to move away from the launch site, reducing potential safety risks.

How do you launch a satellite?

Normally satellites are placed on top of rockets and carried into space, then they are released/pushed out of the rocket once it reaches space. It is first pushed out (injected) into an orbit close to earth called a "transfer orbit," meaning an orbit used to move it from the release location to the primary/intended orbit. Sometimes a booster motor is used to move it into the transfer orbit. After the transfer orbit moves it to the correct location another motor changes it's direction/motion into the final/primary orbit. Sometimes a satellite is carried into space by the Space Shuttle, and then released. After that it moves into a transfer orbit that carries it to the final orbit like other satellites.


Does an action force make a rocket move?

It is not the action but the reaction force that makes a rocket lift up. The action force is the force released when the rocket fuel burns. This action force acts on the surface/ground and according to Newton's Third Law [For each and every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction], a reaction force acts towards the rocket hence giving it a lift.

What is the launch of a rocket?

The launch of a rocket occurs when the engines fire and the thrust produced overcomes the pull of gravity. If thrust exceeds the force necessary to move the payload out of the gravity well of the planetary body from which the rocket was launched, it will pass out of the orbit of the planet. If not, the payload will fall back to the planet on a ballistic path.


How do you beat the secret level on cannon blaster 2?

using the unlimited fuel cheat, you move the barrel that moves left to right to the far right, then you launch into the rotating barrel then you have to launch over the bees and onto the rocket, then you fly through the boxes and into the poop. then u win!

How so you explain conservation of momentum when a rocket ship takes off?

When a rocket ship takes off, it expels gas particles in one direction at high speed, causing the rocket itself to move in the opposite direction. According to the law of conservation of momentum, momentum is always conserved in a closed system. So, the total momentum of the rocket and the expelled gas remains constant before and after the launch.

Why do the gases and waste products move backwards out of rockets?

Well its the only place they can move. It also helps to move the rocket upwards or wherever the rocket is going. This is the basic principle of Rocket. Rocket is propelled and move forward because of the pressure difference between the combustion chamber and the atmosphere and the coresponding raction force.. Pressure is created by burning fuel inside the chamber. Since there is only one opening in the rocket the gases move on the reverse direction of the rocket movement. ( the backward direction)


What force does a rocket have to overcome to move skyward?

A rocket has to overcome the force of gravity in order to move skyward. This force pulls the rocket downward and needs to be overcome by the thrust generated by the rocket's engines in order to achieve lift-off.

Why did the ships not move when gulliver laliput pulled them?

The ships did not move when Gulliver pulled them in Lilliput because they were tied down by thousands of tiny threads from the Lilliputians. The combined force of the threads made it impossible for Gulliver to move the ships.
