What metal is used for space shuttles?
Space shuttles are primarily made of aluminum alloys, which are lightweight and have good strength-to-weight ratio. They also use titanium and stainless steel in certain components for their durability and resistance to high temperatures. Additionally, some parts may be coated with thermal protection systems like insulating tiles made of materials such as silica fibers or reinforced carbon-carbon.
Where can you obtain a diagram of a space shuttle?
You can find diagrams of a space shuttle online through resources such as NASA's website or scientific illustration databases. Books and documentaries on space exploration may also include detailed diagrams of space shuttles.
How is the element zirconium used in relation to space shuttles?
Zirconium, zirconium alloys and some zirconium ceramics (ZrO2, Zr N, ZrB2) are very thermoresistant, has good mechanical properties, great hardness, etc.; these properties are very important for some external components of space aircrafts.
How do Space shuttles dock the iss?
International Space Station is about 400km from Earth and travels around it at about 27000Km/hr making several revolutions per day. Space Shuttles travel at about the same speed at a place called Low Earth Orbit. Logically a Space shuttle should arrive at the ISS in seconds but this is not so because the ISS is moving arround the world at a tremendous speed and the shuttle is moving towards it, so it should be taken into consideration that they do not collide and all mathematical questions come into play like when exactly will they meet and how and where almost like a weather forecast. The shuttle has to take an orbit that curves slightly outwards towards the ISS until it attaches itself to it after following it for two or three days and then it will look like one big unit combined. It is at this stage that you will notice that the shuttles are not aeroplanes at all inspite of their good looks and similarities with aeroplanes. O.T. MOSHETI (BOTSWANA)
How do you spell good by with a space a hyphen or no space a all?
good bye good-bye goodbye (this is the right way)
Are there any more space shuttles getting launched into space?
No. One exploded and two are out of use. I helped. There. I feel good.

What is a good carbon fiber hood company?
VIS Racing, Seibon, Carbon Creations are a few.
Is carbon fiber good conductor of heat?
No, carbon fiber is a poor conductor of heat. Its low thermal conductivity makes it a good insulator, which is often desired in applications where heat retention or protection is important.
Why is carbon fiber a good material for prosthetic legs?
because carbon fibre is a light and yet strong material
Where to buy carbon fiber sticker in Singapore?
In Singapore, i got my carbon fibre sticker from SgGarage.com The material is good n stretchable to paste. thumb Up!
Is carbon fiber tear proof?
Depending on the composte glue material used to bind or finish the fiber. Typically the cheaper alternatives are not however it is alot more fire retardant than most other materials used for similar applications. A resin type glue such as epoxy would be scorch proof but that being said if you heat annything up to a certain point it will combust. everything has its tolerances.
How do you separate carbon fiber from PES resin to measure fiber length We have tried to use a muffle furnact at 800C and it seems to burn off the carbon fibers?
Please refer ASTM D 3171 Procedure B, where you have to digest the matrix i.e. resin in Sulphuric acid and Hydrogen peroxide and remaining will be carbon. With burnoff method there is Approx 5 % loss in carbon @ 500ºC, so it is not a good method for CFRP.
Why do they use steel aluminum or carbon fiber to make javelins?
Steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber are materials commonly used to make javelins due to their strength, durability, and lightweight properties. Steel offers strength and durability, aluminum provides a good balance of strength and flexibility, while carbon fiber is extremely lightweight and allows for greater distance and accuracy when thrown.
Is aluminum good for space shuttles?
Aluminium is used in the airframe of the space shuttle due to its light weight and high strenght. The problems with aluminum is that it is susceptible to fatigue and it requires shielding from heat for high temp applications
Is carbon fiber good for the environment?
Yes, carbon fiber is generally considered to be better for the environment compared to traditional materials like steel or aluminum because it is lighter, stronger, and more durable, leading to reduced fuel consumption and emissions in transportation. However, the production process of carbon fiber can be energy-intensive and may involve the use of chemicals that can be harmful to the environment if not properly managed.
Why are javelins made of steel aluminium and or carbon fiber?
Javelins are made of materials like steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber because these materials are strong, lightweight, and offer good flexibility. Steel is durable but heavier, aluminum is lightweight but less durable, and carbon fiber is a combination of strength and lightness, making them suitable for throwing long distances in track and field competitions.
