What else can I help you with?
What space shuttle will you use to get to Saturn?
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.
How much does the fuel on a space shuttle cost?
The fuel used by the Space Shuttle, known as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, cost about $1.5 million per launch. This cost is just for the fuel itself and does not include other expenses associated with the launch.
How much fuel does a space shuttle use in space?
A space shuttle typically uses about 1.5 million pounds of fuel during liftoff and ascent to reach orbit. In space, the shuttle relies on its orbital maneuvering system and reaction control system, which use smaller amounts of fuel for activities like adjusting its path and orientation in space.
Why was Apollo 17 the last mission?
Apollo 17 was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program because of budget cuts, shifting priorities, and a declining public interest in further manned moon missions. The focus of space exploration shifted towards the development of the Space Shuttle program and other projects.
How much does the space shuttle weigh?
The Space Shuttle weighs 165,000 pounds empty and with the Shuttle, external tank, solid rocket boosters and all the fuel combined the total weight is 4.4 million pounds. The Shuttle can also carry a 65,000 pound payload.

How much fuel is needed for a space shuttle to takeoff?
A space shuttle typically requires around 1.6 million pounds of fuel, consisting of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, to take off. The exact amount can vary depending on the specific mission and payload of the shuttle.
How much fuel does space shuttle burns per minute on launch?
about 98,348 gallons per minute of all fuels used combined.
How much fuel does a space shuttle burn to make it to outer space?
The Solid Rocket Boosters each burn 1,100,000 lbs of fuel. The main tank which contains essentially a liquid oxygen/hydrogen mix burns a little less than 1,200,000 lbs. A little is reserved for maneouvring in space.
How much does the Columbia space shuttle weigh?
the space shuttle weighed as much as roman
How much does it cost for a space shuttle flight?
The average cost of a space shuttle mission is $450 million
How much fuel does shuttle consume during ascent?
The space shuttle would typically consume about 1.6 million pounds (720,000 kg) of solid rocket fuel and 500,000 gallons (1.9 million liters) of liquid fuel during its ascent into orbit.
