What is difference between a rocket and space shuttles?
Rockets are vehicles designed to propel themselves into space by expelling exhaust gases at high speed, typically using a single-stage or multi-stage design. Space shuttles, on the other hand, are a specific type of spacecraft that combine both rocket and glider elements; they are designed to carry astronauts and cargo to and from orbit while being reusable. While rockets can be used solely for launching payloads, space shuttles have the capability to return to Earth and land like an airplane. Essentially, all space shuttles are rockets, but not all rockets are space shuttles.
Names of space shuttles first used in 1980?
The space shuttles that were first used in 1980 were Columbia and Challenger. Both space shuttles were part of NASA's Space Shuttle program and conducted various missions until the Challenger disaster in 1986.
How many space shuttles does NASA have?
Currently NASA have three space shuttles Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.
Where did the space shuttles launch from?
Cape Canaveral, Florida, Kennedy Space Center.
How are space shuttles and space stations similar and different?
Space shuttles and space stations are similar in that they are both used for space exploration and research. However, space shuttles are spacecraft designed for transport between Earth and space, while space stations are large structures designed for long-term habitation in space by astronauts. Additionally, space shuttles can return to Earth, while space stations remain in orbit.
What was the fastest rocket speed?
The rocket that takes space shuttles into space recorded speeds f up to 40,000kmph. The space shuttles' rockets record up to 25,000kmph. There are also slower speed rockets.
What is a space shuttles top speed?
about 18,000 miles per hour
Are space shuttles fast?
In orbit the speed of the space shuttle is approximately 28 000 km/h or about 26 times the speed of sound.
What are the names of space shuttles being built?
NASA space shuttles
What energy is made from space shuttles?
Space shuttles use energy, not make it
How do shuttles and stations get into space?
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
Are the Space Shuttles going to fly again?
It is not expected that the Space Shuttles will fly again.
Where does the Canadian Space Agency launch shuttles from?
no place, nobody has space shuttles anymore
Why do you have space shuttles?
The question is a little moot, since we don't have space shuttles any more.
