There is no gravity in a space shuttle, unless its on the ground.

The technology of "Gravity Coils" which generate artificial gravity has not been developed. Inducing a feeling of gravity like the old scifi movies "big wheel" space stations only works for very large structures

No Gravity.


How many G's does the space shuttle do at launch?

The space shuttle experienced about 3 G's (3 times the force of Earth's gravity) during launch. This force occurred as the shuttle accelerated into space to overcome Earth's gravity.

Who invented space shuttle toilet?

The space shuttle toilet was developed by NASA with input from engineers and astronauts. It was designed to accommodate the unique challenges of zero gravity and limited space in a spacecraft. The first space shuttle toilet was used on the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981.


How long will it take for a space shuttle to go from earth to space?

It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach space after launch. The space shuttle accelerates to a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour to overcome Earth's gravity and enter space.


Is there gravity between earth and the space shuttle as it orbits earth?

Yes, there is the force of gravity when the Space Shuttle is in space. The Earth's gravity is a force which continues throughout space, however diminishing as it travels further out (similar to the suns light traveling throughout space). A good example of the gravity's force in space would be the tool bag lost on a spacewalk which fell back to Earth. Also, the gravity in space seems much less due to the fact there is very little to no atmosphere weighing on the space craft (depending on altitude). On Earth atmosphere at sea level ways 14.7 pounds per square inch and gets lighter as you climb.
