The shuttle's main engines gimbal before engine start and lift-off to ensure that the exhaust gases are projected in the correct direction as a way of steering the shuttle. The gimbaling enables the shuttle to clear the tower and again to perform the belly roll it does after the tower is cleared.

What happens when a space-shuttle launches?
When a space shuttle launches, the main engines ignite to lift the shuttle off the ground. Once it gains enough altitude, the solid rocket boosters are released. The shuttle then continues its journey into space using its main engines until it reaches orbit.
Horse power is in a space shuttle?
Horsepower is not used in space shuttles. Instead, the thrust produced by the engines is measured in Newtons or pounds-force. This thrust is essential for propelling the shuttle into space and overcoming Earth's gravity.
Why is there a white triangle under the space shuttle engines when they are lit?
Why is there a white triangle under the space shuttle engines when they are lit? Within the flame produced by a lit space shuttle engine, there are temperature and pressure differences causing the flame to appear in different colors. The white triagle is made the by the shape of the space shuttle engine in combination with these temperature and pressure differences.
Why are sparks seen just below Space shuttle main engines prior to main engine ignition?
The spray of sparks below the Shuttle's main engine is purely there to ensure any excess hydrogen that has escaped through the nozzles is burnt away. The engines are ignited by "Spark Ignitors" like a spark plug in the engine.
How does a space shuttle work?
first the rocket boosters carry it into space then the external tank pushes the shuttle above earth then when the shuttle is ready the external tank falls off and the shuttle is ready for its mission then after its mission the shuttle lands and blows out a parachute come out from the back to help the shuttle slow down.any parts from the rocket or shuttle can be reused except the external tank.
How does the shuttle fire burn its engines in space?
The shuttle does not fire it's engines in space, it only fires orbit adjusters.
What are rocket boosters?
The engines for the space shuttle.
How powerful are a space shuttle's engines?
as powerful as your but
When the space shuttle prepares to land its engines are turn off how does the shuttle land without its engines?
It is the shuttle land like a normal glider?
Who invented the space shuttle roll?
The main engines.
What happens when a space-shuttle launches?
When a space shuttle launches, the main engines ignite to lift the shuttle off the ground. Once it gains enough altitude, the solid rocket boosters are released. The shuttle then continues its journey into space using its main engines until it reaches orbit.
How can fire lighten in space without oxygen if there is no oxygen then how can a space shuttle come back?
The space shuttle is able to fire its engines in space because it takes the needed oxygen with it.
Which kinds of engines are used on the space shuttle and why?
RS-25's.
