What was the first satellite to be repaired in space?

The first satellite to be repaired in space was Solar Max. It was repaired by astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1984.


What was the name of the first U.S. satellite repaired by a space shuttle?

First satellite repaired bya space shuttle in outerspace was "Solar Max" and was completed by astronauts George "Pinkey" Nelson and James "Ox" Van Hoften using manned maneuvering units and was performed on April 8 & 11, 1984. This was the first time a satellite was repaired in space.


What speed does a space shuttle reach during take off?

During takeoff, a space shuttle can reach speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour). This speed is necessary to overcome Earth's gravity and reach orbit. The space shuttle accelerates rapidly during launch, with its main engines and solid rocket boosters providing the necessary thrust to achieve this incredible speed.


Why does the space shuttle throttle up to 104 percent?

The Space Shuttle throttled up to 104 percent to provide more power during critical phases of the ascent, like passing through Max-Q ("maximum dynamic pressure") and reaching orbit. This extra thrust helped overcome atmospheric drag and gravitational forces, ensuring the shuttle safely reached space.


How fast is the space shuttle?

== == Max speed so far is a little more than 17,500 miles per hour which is about mach 11-12. It achieves this speed when it separates from the external fuel tank, at the end of the burn of its main engines when it sets up for orbital insertion. It takes care of business up there, and then a short burst of the maneuvering thrusters slows the vehicle down and it begins losing altitude and setting up for reentry all the while decelerating. From the moment the engines are fired to take the shuttle out of orbit to bring it back to earth, it is slowing down.

Who would win in a quarter mile the space shuttle talking off or a 1998 Camaro?

0-60 for the camaro 5.2 seconds 0-60 for the shuttle 6.2 seconds Assuming the camaro was a Z28 model and stock the quarter mile time would be approximately 13.7 seconds attaining a speed around 101 mph. The space shuttle at 8 seconds has only traveled twice its length (184 feet) nowhere near 1320 feet (1/4 mile mark). The math in my head works out and i wrote it down too, but lost it. Trust me even with its max speed being something over mach 20 (in space) its acceleration in the quarter mile is horrendous when compared to the camaro.
