What medium does the sound wave travel through to get from the shuttle?

We will assume you are asking about the Space Shuttle, a reusable spacecraft flown by NASA. While the shuttle is lifting off and in the atmosphere any sound generated by the shuttle will travel through the air. When the shuttle is in orbit there is no (or very very little) air and any sound that would have been generated by the shuttle will not be transmitted. There is a pressurized atmosphere within the shuttle that allows the voices of the astronauts to travel within the shuttle just as it does on the surface of the Earth.


What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?
