The maximum is 3g.
At launch the gravity that they experience is about 1.7 g's and by the time the solid rocket boosters are separated which is two minutes into the launch the g-force will be over 2 g's. At the separation of the solid rocket booster, the g-force will decrease to just over 1 g. During the last one minute of the ascent, which is for 8.5 minutes, when the main engines ignited the last full minute, we will experience about 3 g's, and when the main engines cut off around 8 minutes, 30 seconds, you go right into zero-g and everything starts to float around.

How many g's does the space shuttle experience during take off?
There is a maximum of 3 G's during the shuttle launch.
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.
Are astronauts weightless in a space shuttle during the launch?
During the launch, astronauts in a space shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness for a short period due to the force of gravity being canceled out by the acceleration of the shuttle. However, this weightlessness is not the same as the zero gravity experienced in orbit, as it is a result of the shuttle's motion rather than being in a true microgravity environment.
Which space shuttle failed?
Space Shuttle Challenger failed during launch. Space Shuttle Columbia failed during reentry.
What forces are acting on a shuttle as it sits on the launch pad?
The main forces acting on a shuttle on the launch pad are the gravitational force pulling it downwards, the normal force exerted by the ground pushing it upwards, and possibly wind resistance. Additionally, the rocket engines may be applying a thrust force in preparation for launch.

What miles per gallon does the space shuttle get during launch?
fff
What is the white smoke during the shuttle launch?
The white smoke seen during a shuttle launch is caused by the ignition of the solid rocket boosters. It consists of exhaust gases and steam produced by the burning of solid propellant.
What are some effects of gravity upon astronauts during a shuttle launch?
During a shuttle launch, astronauts experience high G-forces which can cause increased blood pressure, changes in vision, and difficulty breathing. The force of gravity can also compress the spine and put stress on the body, leading to potential muscular-skeletal issues. As the shuttle accelerates, the astronauts feel heavier due to the increasing G-forces acting on their bodies.
Where does the crawler transporter go during a space shuttle launch?
The crawler transporter takes the space shuttle from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad, which is usually a distance of about 3 to 4 miles. It moves very slowly to ensure a smooth and controlled journey for the shuttle. Once the shuttle is at the launch pad, the crawler transporter moves to a safe distance away from the launch site.
How many Gs do astronauts experience during space shuttle launch?
Around 4
When is the final space shuttle launch?
The final shuttle launch takes place in July 2011.
What does the space shuttle launch pad smell of after launch?
The launch pad (even hours after launch) is not a place you'd want to be.See the related link for more information.
