About 200 seconds after the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) break away from the NASA space shuttle parachutes are deployed at 15,000 feet and they land in the ocean. The SRBs usually land 140 miles off the coast of Florida where they float and are recovered by NASA. Once they are recovered they are refurbished and used on several other shuttle launches.
What else can I help you with?
Which rocket is used to launch the space shuttle?
Space shuttle generally launches itself with just a boost from two solid rocket boosters(SRBs) that are dropped soon after start. The element that gives the appearance of big rocket is actually an external fuel tank.
What happens when the space shuttle takes off and moves away fromm earth?
It masses increases and the weight increases
When rockets leave the space shuttle how do they not catch the shuttle on fire?
The solid rocket boosters used by the space shuttle separate and fall away once they are burnt out, so there is no risk of them catching the shuttle on fire. Additionally, the boosters are designed to burn cleanly without producing excess flames or residue that could harm the shuttle.
What makes a space shuttle go up?
At launch the Shuttle (orbiter) is attached to two rockets -- the long white tubes on the sides are called solid rocket boosters (SRBs). Also, the big orange tank the Shuttle sits on at launch is a full of liquid fuel. At launch the SRBs ignite/start and the shuttle's main engine begins burning the liquid fuel. These three engines push the shuttle up into orbit. If you are asking how a rocket engine works. If you put an object beside a bomb, when the bomb goes off it knocks/pushes the object away. If you put a firecracker under an empty tin can, the firecracker will knock the can up into the air (see link below). You can think of a rocket engine as creating many continuous explosions that push it.
What happens to the part of the shuttle that falls of in a launch to space?
The parachutes will drop from the rocket boosters and land about 140 miles off the coast of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. Ships will later be sent to retrieve the boosters and carry them back to Cape Canaveral so that they may be reused.
A person is standing still away from a shuttle launch site. As the shuttle heads towards space the shuttle is getting smaller. What happens to the shadow of the shuttle?
Disappears.
Was the space shuttle developed to be used only once?
Certainly not! The space shuttle was the first reuseable space craft. After its solid rocket boosters and belly tank fall away, they are collected from the sea.

What happens when a glow stick breaks on your skin?
Nothing happens, just wash it off rite away.

What are the things called that they put a missiles in to shoot them off?
While a rocket is sitting on a launch pad, it is surrounded by a metal frame called a gantry. The gantry breaks away when the rocket is launched. If a missile is launched from underground, it emerges from a missile silo. A missile can also be launched from a portable missile launcher.
What do you call massive chunks of the ice that breaks away from glaciers?
call a massive chunls of ice that breaks away from glaciers
Who built a rocket for war?
the first rocket was made by the Chinese. Of course this the first rocket. They used it to scare their enemies away hope this helps. =]
What happens to the lining of uterus when the yellow body degenerates?
When the yellow body (corpus luteum) degenerates and withers away, the lining of the uterus breaks down and menstruation occurs.
