What happened on February 1 2003?
On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, resulting in the tragic loss of all seven crew members on board. The accident was caused by damage to the shuttle's thermal protection system, which was sustained during launch when a piece of foam insulation struck the shuttle's wing.
How many liters of fuel can an ET on space shuttle discovery hold?
The Space Shuttle External Tank carries about 1,449,813 liters of liquid hydrogen fuel and about 541,314 liters of liquid oxygen as its oxidizer. In total, it carries about 1,991,127 liters of liquid propellant for the Space Shuttle Main Engines.
What was the cause of the space shuttle blowing up in 1986?
The space shuttle Challenger was destroyed when one of the the large white Solid Rocket Boosters (aka SRB) failed. A failure in one of the SRB's joints caused a leak. That leak burned a hole in the orange External Tank (aka ET.) The leak also burned the connection of the SRB to the ET. Once that connection failed the SRB separated from the ET and pierced the upper portion of the ET. When that happened the fuel in the upper tank mixed with the fuel in the lower tank and ignited. The fireball and explosion blew the Challenger into pieces.
What is orange object on space shuttle?
The orange object on the space shuttle is the external fuel tank. It contains the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen that are needed to fuel the shuttle's main engines during launch. Once the fuel is consumed, the tank is jettisoned and burns up in the atmosphere.
Why did Columbia space shuttle blow up?
The Space Shuttle Columbia did not actually blow up. Rather, it was torn apart and disintigrated. The Columbia disaster was caused as a result of foam on the space shuttle's external fuel tank (ET). The ET is covered in insulating foam to prevent ice from forming from the cold liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellants. During launch, aerodynamic forces pulled a large piece of the foam off of the ET, and it impacted some of the space shuttle's Reinforced Carbon-Carbon (RCC) panels on the left wing, causing a hole. The RCC panels are used to protect the space shuttle from the violent heat of re-entry. However the hole allowed hot gases to melt the inside of the shuttle's wing, which destroyed it structurally. As Columbia's structure melted and fell apart, aerodynamic forces broke up the vehicle into hundreds of thousands of pieces, killing the crew.
Space shuttle abbreviations ET?
The ET is the External Tank. It is the large orange tank you see attached to the Shuttle during the launch phase.
Why does the space shuttle turn around during liffoff?
The Space shuttle performs what is called a roll maneuver at about T+ 20 seconds after lift off. This maneuver is done for many reasons. The first reason is the shuttle needs to fly heading relatively eastward over the Atlantic ocean. Depending on the mission type and altitude required, the shuttle roll duration is variable. This is done also to change the orbit inclination. Some shuttle missions require the shuttle to fly over more northern parts of the globe. A second reason for this maneuver is that the shuttle flies upside down for safety reasons (this has more to do with pitch then roll but I felt the need to explain it). If the shuttle were to fly with the Solid Rocket Boosters, SRB for short, and the External Tank, ET (the SRBs are the two white rockets and the ET is the orange gas tank) under it and an emergency situation were to arise and the crew needed to separate the shuttle from the rest of the launch vehicle, the shuttle would be unable to maneuver out of harms way. Flying with the SRBs and ET over the shuttle allows for a quick evacuation.
What happened February 1 2003?
Space Shuttle Columbia, the first space worthy Space Shuttle, broke apart over East Texas due to a hole in it's left wing caused by foam from the ET during launch.
In what mission do you unlock bohan gta 4?
you dont do a mission you et it straight away
What happens after the space shuttle takes off?
First the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB) parachute into the sea. Then the External Tank (ET) comes off and disintegrates in the atmosphere. The shuttle orbits the Earth. It may dock with a satellite then re-enters the earths atmosphere and lands. If all goes correctly.
What color is the antilocapra?
brun-orange et blanc

When did the first moon craft make a soft landing on moon?
The first soft landing on the moon was Surveyor 1, which landed on June 2, 1966 at 2:17 PM ET. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveyor_1. They turned off the engines when the lunar lander when it was 3.4 meters above the lunar surface, and it free fell from there. This beat out the Soviet Luna 9 mission by 4 months. The first soft landing manned mission was Apollo 11 which landed on July 20, 1969 at 4:17 PM ET
