What else can I help you with?
How do we explore space from earth?
We use space probes, and send astronauts... etc.
How do astronauts get into space?
Astronauts reach space by launching in a spacecraft, such as a rocket or space shuttle, that is designed to overcome Earth's gravity. Once in space, the spacecraft continues its journey to enter orbit around the Earth or travel to other celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars.
What layer of the atmosphere is the working station for astronauts?
Astronauts work in space, which is beyond Earth's atmosphere. There is no fixed layer of the atmosphere where astronauts work. They operate in space stations or spacecraft outside of the Earth's atmosphere where they experience microgravity.
How do astronauts travel in space and escape earths atmosphere?
Astronauts travel in space and escape earth's atmosphere by wearing gravity resistant suits and traveling to outer space in a space shuttle that is insulated against the elements.
How do people on earth communicate with astronauts in space?
People on Earth communicate with astronauts in space through a series of communication networks such as NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) and ground stations around the world. Astronauts use specially designed radios and equipment on the International Space Station to speak with mission control centers on Earth.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
Can you see the curvature of the earth from space?
Yes, astronauts can see the curvature of the Earth from space.
How do the Russian astronauts return to earth?
Russian astronauts return to earth using space capsules.The space capsules have a parachute on it like the early NASA capsules.
Do astronauts leave earth with space suits on?
yes
Why is the space shuttle an important advance in space travel?
It's important to have and utilize the space shuttle in order for astronauts to have an opportunity to observe events in space and make appropriate preparations to investigate and report results. As far as advances go, it represents man's first reusable launch and re-entry vehicle.
How do we explore space from earth?
We use space probes, and send astronauts... etc.
Where do astronauts live in space?
Right now, Astronauts and Cosmonauts live inside the space station that orbits Earth.
What experiments do astrounauts do in space?
Astronauts make Earth spin
What happens to the muscle of astronauts who are in space of an extended period?
Astronauts' muscles atrophy in space due to the decreased work they do without Earth's gravity.
What astronauts orbited space?
Nobody has orbited space but some have orbited the earth and the moon.
How do astronauts get into space?
Astronauts reach space by launching in a spacecraft, such as a rocket or space shuttle, that is designed to overcome Earth's gravity. Once in space, the spacecraft continues its journey to enter orbit around the Earth or travel to other celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars.
What did astronauts use to get to earth from space?
they used a module that carried them back
