What was the name of first indian space shuttle launched?
The first Indian space shuttle launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is called the Reusable Launch Vehicle-Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD). It was launched on May 23, 2016, as a technology demonstrator for future development of reusable space vehicles.
When was the last trip to outers space?
The last Space Shuttle trip to outer space is still going on today, November 21, 2008. It was launched on November 14, 2008
What is the height of the shuttle orbit?
The height of the typical space shuttle orbit is around 300 kilometers (186 miles) above the Earth's surface. This height allows the shuttle to orbit within the Earth's atmosphere yet still be in microgravity conditions.
The amount of gravitational force that acts on the space shuttle while in orbit is?
The amount of gravitational force acting on the space shuttle in orbit is still significant, approximately 90% of the force experienced on the surface of the Earth. This force is what keeps the shuttle and astronauts in orbit around the Earth, counteracting the centripetal force that tries to pull them away.
How do you get a space station into space?
Basically, they build the space station on the ground first, then they break it into parts small enough to fit in the shuttle, and reassemble it in space. They are still making improvements on the space station today.

Which orbits the earth space shuttle or space station?
Well both do...the shuttles go in to orbit and return (at least they used to when NASA was still flying them), the ISS is left in orbit

What is the oldest piece of space debris still in orbit?
The oldest piece of space debris still in orbit is the Vanguard 1 satellite, launched by NASA in 1958. This satellite was the fourth artificial satellite to be launched into Earth's orbit and is estimated to remain in orbit for over 200 years due to its high altitude.

When is the last space shuttle going up?
This was to have happened last year, but problems were found that had to be corrected. The latest estimate is in Feb. 2011, but this is still subject to change. Check the nasa.gov website for the latest information.
When did the iss take off from earth?
The International Space Station, or ISS, has been assembled in orbit from parts built here on Earth. The first segments of the ISS were launched into space in 1998, with other parts being added by several Space Shuttle missions. The ISS is not yet complete, and more parts are still under construction.
Is NASA still going to have a Space Shuttle on display at Kennedy?
Yes. The Space Shuttle Atlantis will be on display at the Kennedy Space Center.
Why does a space shuttle move in space when there is no gravity?
A space shuttle moves in space due to its initial velocity gained from launch and the lack of significant air resistance to slow it down. While gravity is weaker in space, it still affects the shuttle's trajectory and orbit around celestial bodies. In the absence of other forces, the shuttle will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed due to Newton's first law of motion.
How far from earth did the shuttle go into orbit?
At 347 miles above the Earth to the orbit of the Hubble Telescope. The shuttle is an orbit only craft and cannot go into deeper space or visit the Moon or planets. It is now being retired and NASA are returning to an Apollo style rocket since 14 astronauts have been killed in Shuttle explosions and it is just too dangerous.
