Which space shuttle and its seven crew members were lost during reentry over eastern Texas?
The space shuttle Challenger was lost during reentry over eastern Texas on February 1, 2003. The disaster resulted in the tragic deaths of all seven crew members: Rick D. Husband, William C. McCool, Michael P. Anderson, Ilan Ramon, Kalpana Chawla, David M. Brown, and Laurel B. Clark. The incident highlighted serious issues related to safety and engineering within NASA's space program.
What else can I help you with?
Which space shuttle failed?
Space Shuttle Challenger failed during launch. Space Shuttle Columbia failed during reentry.
What shuttle disintegrated upon reentry to earth?
This would be OV-102 more popularly known as Columbia. It was the first Space Shuttle to fly to space. It lived a full career before the tragedy which led to its destruction at the end of STS-107 on 1-February 2003, which would have been its 28th mission.
How many g force does the space shuttle pull?
The maximum acceleration that was experienced during normal shuttle liftoff was about 3g. During reentry, astronauts experienced approximately 1.5g.
Why is black pannels use on the space shuttle?
They are thermal heat protection tiles. They help the Space Shuttle withstand 3,000+ F during reentry.
How long does it take time for the space shuttle from atmospheric reentry to landing?
From atmospheric reentry to landing, a space shuttle typically takes about 30 minutes. The exact duration can vary depending on the angle of descent, speed, and landing location. The intense heat generated during reentry is gradually dissipated as the shuttle slows down and lands safely.

What space shuttle and its seven crew members were lost during reentry over eastern Texas on February 1 2003?
It was the Columbia, the first of the shuttle fleet to be built and which made it's maiden flight in May 1981. The disaster was caused by heat-resistant blocks flying off during re-entry and damaging the wings.

Why would the nose encounter more intense heat than other parts of the shuttle during reentry?
The nose of the shuttle encounters more intense heat then the rest of the shuttle during reentry because of the friction it encounters from the atmosphere. The nose of the shuttle has a small surface area for the with weight of the shuttle pushing it through the atmosphere. This leads to a more focus point of contract with the atmosphere.

The maximum acceleration that was experienced during normal shuttle liftoff was about 3g. During reentry, astronauts experienced approximately 1.5g.
Why is black pannels use on the space shuttle?
They are thermal heat protection tiles. They help the Space Shuttle withstand 3,000+ F during reentry.
Did the shuttle columbia's astronauts survive?
no, all the astronauts on the final mission of columbia died during reentry.
How long does it take time for the space shuttle from atmospheric reentry to landing?
From atmospheric reentry to landing, a space shuttle typically takes about 30 minutes. The exact duration can vary depending on the angle of descent, speed, and landing location. The intense heat generated during reentry is gradually dissipated as the shuttle slows down and lands safely.
What kind of environment is space shuttle reentry?
When in the orbit, space shuttles kinetic energy is in large amounts. The energy must the disposed for a safe landing. Reentry space shuttles must show blunt shapes for the heat energy to be released into the atmosphere.
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.
What is the g force of the space shuttle at reentry?
During reentry, the space shuttle experiences deceleration forces of around 3 g's. This means that the astronauts onboard would feel a force three times stronger than the force of gravity pulling them towards the Earth.
