What else can I help you with?
Would a parachute help a skydiver in space?
No. A parachute would not help a skydiver in space. A parachute works by taking advantage of air resistance. There is no air in space, so there can be no resistance. Perhaps that's the main reason why the Space Shuttle never deployed its parachutes while it was still in space.
Why cant the space shuttle land in the rain?
If the space shuttle were a powered aircraft it would be able to land in the rain just fine. The problem with the rain isn't actually the rain, but the dense clouds that go with it. The space shuttle, while landing, is only a glider. It doesn't have the capability to 'go around' if there is a problem while it is approaching the landing site. NASA plays it safe and only lands the shuttle when the conditions are at their safest.
What happens if space shuttle misses the runway while landing?
If a space shuttle misses the runway during landing, it would have procedures in place to attempt a "go-around" or alternative landing attempt. These procedures may involve executing a powered ascent back into orbit for additional reentry opportunities or attempting a landing at an alternative designated site. Emergency contingency plans would also be in place to ensure the safety of the crew and vehicle.
How long does the space shuttle take to return to earth?
From the time mission control gives the signal for the shuttle to re-enter and return to Earth, it takes about one hour for the whole process. The shuttle flies at 17,000 mph before the wheels hit the Earth.
What is the Operation of the Space Shuttle?
The Space Shuttle was a reusable spacecraft that could launch into space powered by its main engines and two solid rocket boosters. It would orbit Earth, deploy satellites, conduct experiments, and perform repairs on other spacecraft before re-entering the atmosphere for a runway landing.
How does a parachute help stop the space shuttle?
It increases the amount of drag, since the space shuttle doesn't have thrust reversers like an airliner would.

How does a space shuttle land safely on the moon?
No space shuttle has landed on the moon. The craft would need ample landing space to do so. But even then, the shuttle could not LEAVE the moon, since the boosters needed to lift off would not be present.
Does a space ship fall apart during landing?
No, otherwise the shuttle would not be re-useable

Can the space shuttle take the heat on gravity entry of mars?
The heat of entry is not caused by gravity; it is caused by resistance by the atmosphere. Since the atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than Earth's there would be less heating on entry. So yes, the space shuttle could probably withstand the heat. There would be another problem, though. In the final stages before landing on Earth, the space shuttle flies in for a landing much like an ordinary airplane. The atmosphere of Mars is too thin to support such flight, so the shuttle would simply crash.

Where would you find a space shuttle in the atmosphere?
I am pretty sure that a space shuttle is found in the thermosphere or mesosphere.
How would astronuts travel into space or to the moon?
they would travel in a space shuttle
