"Yes in space it goes 25000 km/h or 18000 m/h , but exact moment when the space shutle launches is slow, around 160km/h or 108m/h,after one minute it goes around 1600 km/h or 1000 m/h and so on."

Not counting other factors such as air resistance, and only looking at acceleration, you'll see for the first minute the shuttle experiences an aver g force of 1.7.

We'll use the first minute only, as an example, as after the first minute, the air density lessons significantly.

So you'll get an acceleration of 0.7 g's, after you negate the earths 1g.

A g is the force you feel when accellerating at about 10 meters per second, or about 35km/h. At 0.7 g's is about 7m/s or 24.5 km/h.

So, roughly at :
-one second after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 24 km/h.
-two seconds after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 48 km/s.
-ten seconds after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 245 km/h.
-one minute after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 1470 km/h.

What is the maximum speed of a space shuttle?

The maximum speed of a space shuttle during launch is approximately 17,500 miles per hour, achieved during the ascent to low Earth orbit. Once in orbit, the shuttle travels at an average speed of around 17,500 to 18,000 miles per hour in order to remain in orbit around the Earth.


What speed is space shuttle at 4 seconds after launch?

At 4 seconds after launch, the space shuttle typically reaches a speed of around 100 mph (160 km/h) as it accelerates rapidly in the initial phase of its journey into space.


How long before docking to the iss does the space shuttle have to start slowing down to make a safe docking?

During launch the space shuttle speeds up to 17500 MPH. In orbit the space station is going about the same speed. So the shuttle does not have to slow down much. At docking the relative speed of the ISS and shuttle is about 1-2 inchs per second.


How long will it take for a space shuttle to go from earth to space?

It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach space after launch. The space shuttle accelerates to a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour to overcome Earth's gravity and enter space.


What was the Speed of the space shuttle?

The speed of the Space Shuttle varied during its mission phases. During launch, it reached speeds of approximately 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) to achieve low Earth orbit. Once in orbit, it maintained this speed to counteract Earth's gravity and stay in a stable trajectory. Upon re-entry, the shuttle's speed would decrease significantly as it descended back to Earth.

How long does it take the space shuttle to reach outer space from launch?

It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. How is that for speed? Once in space, the space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet! That fast rate of speed along with Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet


When are Space-shuttles exposed to extreme temperatures?

During launch, with the heat from the engines. Then 'in flight', or when it is in space. Space is cold, but when the sun shines on the shuttle, it gets very hot, and the opposite when the sun doesn't shine on it. It's also very hot when it comes into land, as the speed built up during launch is dissapated by the atmosphere.


How does a space shuttle launch into outer space?

The space shuttle is launched into Outer Space by having it attached to the rocket that launches up as well as the space shuttle and gradually the rocket falls apart and lands in the Pacific ocean. It often lands there. The space shuttle then continues its mission alone.


How fast was the space shuttle Columbia?

The space shuttle Columbia had a maximum speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour during its orbit in space.


What is the speed of the space shuttle during liftoff?

Of coarse the space shuttle begins launch at zero miles per hour but after about 8 seconds it is going about 100 mph (161 kph) 17 seconds into the launch it's going about 341 mph (549 kph)! Within 10 minutes it will be in orbit traveling about 17,500 mph (28,164 kph).


What is the top speed of space shuttle?

The Space Shuttle can travel over 17,500 MPH


What is the speed of the space shuttle?

Mach 5, 5 times faster than the speed of sound!
