How many buttons in the space shuttle?

There are over 1,000 hardware and software switches, controls, circuit breakers, and computer displays in the Space Shuttle cockpit. These switches allow Astronauts a huge amount of control over the operations of the shuttle. Even if a shuttle crew lost all control with Mission Control immediately after lift-off, they would still have all the necessary controls to reach orbit and return safely. The huge amount of switches and controls also allows astronauts to deal with almost any minor emergency or failure that could arise on orbit.


How do space shuttles enter and exit space?

When a space shuttle takes off, it gathers momentum and burns fuel to get higher. Once the huge rocket that the space shuttle rides on is out of fuel, it falls off. The shuttle continues on alone into space. To get back into the atmosphere, careful calculations are done. The shuttle must come in at just the right angle or else it will burn up or bounce off of the atmosphere and be gone forever. The space shuttle slices into the atmosphere and begins gliding like a paper airplane at incredible speeds. A computer controls the shuttle and lands it on a runway that is a mile wide and several miles long. It lands like a normal airplane and everyone arrives safely.

Why was the space shuttle sent to space?

The space shuttle was developed because the weight of satellites or payload required huge rockets. The shuttle main claim to fame is that it was also reusable. The only thing that is not recovered after launch is the liquid hydrogen fuel tank. The solid rockets on either side of the hydrogen tank burn out, separate, then fall to Earth. After the solid rocket separation the shuttles main engines continue to fire to get into orbit. When the fuel tank is separated it burns up in the atmosphere.
