What else can I help you with?
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.
How fast does a space shuttle reenter the earths atmosphere?
A space shuttle reenters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of around 17,500 miles per hour. The high speed generates intense heat, which is why the shuttle needs heat shields to protect it during reentry. The spacecraft gradually slows down as it descends through the atmosphere.
Why doesn't the space shuttle burn up upon entering the eath's atmosphere?
The shuttle spacecraft does nort burn up at all when it does reenters the earths atmosphere, even of the heat. The reason is that there are all heat preventing tiles on the spacecraft from burning, and keeping the astronauts safe.
What does it feel like when a space shuttle break through earths atmosphere?
During reentry, the space shuttle experiences intense heat and pressure as it breaks through Earth's atmosphere. The crew inside may feel vibrations and turbulence as the shuttle slows down rapidly due to atmospheric drag. It's like hitting a speed bump at high speed.
What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?
Space Shuttle Columbia

Why do space vehicles have heat shields for reentry into earths atmosphere?

Can the shuttle escape the earths atmosphere?
No it can't.

What does the shuttle pass through as it enters earths atmosphere?
The ozone layer.
How do space shuttles slow down when re entering earths atmoshpere?
Drag from air is the main thing that slows down the space shuttle on reentry.
How high in the earths atmosphere does a space shuttle travel?
230 miles out into space
How hot does a space shuttle get when re enters earths atmosphere?
3,000+ F
How do the astronauts reduce the space capsules speed for reentry into the Earths atmosphere?
Look on Wikipedia unless you know the answer.-Acaheny & Ausia
