Does the space shuttle float when it falls from the moon into the ocean?

Firstly, the space shuttle does not not go to the moon. It remains in low-earth orbit. Also, it does not land in the ocean but makes an unpowered landing on a runway. The capsule of Challenger did sink after it fell into the ocean during its launch accident in 1986. The solid rocket boosters that fall from the shuttle during launch do float and are recovered. The Apollo command modules that did travel to the moon during the Apollo moon missions landed in the ocean and did float. Also, frogmen attached a flotation collar when they reached the capsule. The Space Shuttle never goes in the ocean. It lands at Kennedy Space Center in Florida or Edwards Air Force Base in California<br>The Space Shuttle has never been to the Moon.


What do you need to survive in the space shuttle?

To survive in a space shuttle, you would need a constant supply of oxygen, food, and water. You would also need protection against extreme temperatures, radiation, and microgravity. Additionally, communication equipment and a way to manage waste are essential for a successful space mission.


Why does it rain a lot when a space shuttle goes into space?

When the shuttle is taking off, it burns enormous amounts of hydrogen with an oxidiser. The sole product of this reaction is water. However, this water cannot stay in the air, as the air is then supersaturated (like stormclouds). So the excess falls to Earth, in the form of rain. other than that the government is evil


What would happen to an orange in space?

In the vacuum of space, an orange would freeze and dehydrate quickly due to the lack of atmospheric pressure. Without air pressure to keep the water in the orange from boiling off, the fruit would dry out from the exposed water vapor. Eventually, it would become shriveled and freeze-dried.


What is the source of electricity on board the space shuttle?

The Space Shuttle uses fuel cells to produce electricity. The hydrogen (H2) is burned with the oxygen (O2) to produce clean water (H2O). The heat is used to produce the electricity. The fresh water is then used by the crew or transfered to the International Space Station for drinking and showering. The Apollo Service Modules used a similar system for power and water.

What type of reaction does hydrogenygen in a space shuttle fuel system?

The Space Shuttle Main Engines burn Hydrogen and Oxygen. The byproduct of this reaction is water. The formula would be: 2H2 + O2 = 2H20 + energy
