What causes a spaceshuttle to change in velocity by change in direction?

A change in velocity due to a change in direction in a space shuttle is caused by the application of thrust from its engines. By adjusting the direction of thrust, the shuttle can alter its velocity vector, changing its speed and/or direction of travel. This allows the shuttle to adjust its course, orbit, or perform maneuvers in space.

How rocket takes a turn in space?

It has several engines for maneuvering, which are located on its sides and even on the front part. Short impulse from these engines allow a rocket to change its moving direction, you can check out Youtube videos with Space Shuttle maneuvering to see it yourself.


What direction will the shuttle come from when it appears in the sky?

forwards It is always traveling around the Earth in the same direction as we are rotating, but much faster. The space shuttle when in space can point in any direction, as there in no up and down. It still keeps moving in the same direction, even with engines facing forward.


How does the space shuttle move in space without air?

Any action have a re-action. The action of the space-shuttle is to let out gas in one direction. This will create a push effect that moves or turns the shuttle in opposite direction. It works the same with aeroplanes and boats. they just have the action and reaction as in the movement resistance of air and water in addition. This resistance is hardly present at all in space. At least there is very little of it, depending on where we are.


How does a space shuttle manuever in the exosphere?

The space shuttle doesn't do much maneuvering in the outer layers of the Earth's atmosphere. Most of its maneuvering is done once it's passed through these layers due to the extreme temperatures experienced during this time.
