Does the space shuttle reuse the liguid-fuel tanks?
No. The large orange External Tank or ET as it is called is jettisoned at about the 8 minute mark of the flight and burns up in the earths atmosphere during its reentry.
Why does shuttle get burned when landing?
When the shuttle re-enters Earth's atmosphere, it generates intense friction with the air, which creates tremendous heat. This heat causes the shuttle's heat shield to get very hot and glow brightly, resulting in the burning effect. The heat shield is essential for protecting the shuttle and its occupants from being incinerated during re-entry.
When did the space shuttle blow up?
The space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff on January 28, 1986. The accident was caused by the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters, leading to the catastrophic destruction of the spacecraft.
When was the Columbia space shuttle accident?
== == The space shuttle Columbia broke apart and partially burned up while re-entering earth's atmosphere over Texas on February 1, 2003. The entire seven member crew were killed.
When did SkyLab start?
May 14, 1973. It burned up in Earth's atmosphere on reentry on July 11, 1979.

What happened to the on February 1 2003?
on reentry the space shuttle Columbia burned up.
How many space shuttles exploded in atmosphere?
Technically Challenger was the only shuttle to explode in the atmosphere during takeoff. It was caused by a leaky O ring in the Solid Rocket Boosters. Columbia broke up during reentry and therefore was not an explosion. It was caused by damaged heat Tiles that allowed heated gases to weaken the wing. Once the wing became weakened it gave way and caused the shuttle to tumble and at the speeds and heat involved in reentry the pieces burned up as it broke apart.
You are a dust particle that enters earths atmosphere and is burned up?
A meteor
What happened to the sputnik satellite after sent into space?
Upon re entry to the earths atmosphere , It burned up
Where was sputnik found?
Sputnik 1 was launched into Earth's orbit on 4 October 1957. It remained there for less than 3 months and collected atmospheric data. The satellite fell out of orbit on 4 January 1958. It burned up upon reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.
How soft or hard is the atmosphere of venus?
It's not really the fact of whether it's 'hard' or 'soft'. Venus has a very toxic atmosphere, anything that enters it is usually burned by the chemicals. (thus why we couldn't get a shuttle to land).

Was any part of the Apollo 11 reusable?
No, none of the parts of the Apollo 11 spacecraft were reusable. The entire spacecraft was discarded and burned up upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere except for the command module which returned with the astronauts.
