Oxygen is used in the launch of space vehicles to make discoveries.
Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31.
The compressibility of gases allows large amounts of oxygen to be stored in a compact space within the cylinder. This makes it efficient for transportation and storage, ensuring a continuous and reliable oxygen supply to hospitals.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched from the space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. The mission was designated STS-31.
Antoine Lavoisier is known for his discovery of the role of oxygen in combustion around 1777. He demonstrated that oxygen is necessary for combustion to occur and debunked the concept of phlogiston theory.
Oxygen can be transported into space as a liquid because it occupies less volume when in liquid form compared to gas form. This makes it more efficient for storage and transportation in spacecraft. Liquid oxygen is also easier to handle and can be used as a propellant for rocket engines.
Rocket fuel contains oxygen, which is not found in space. A rocket in space could theoretically work in space if it were to carry its own oxygen, but other fuels such as hydrogen are more efficient.
Liquid oxygen is used in space shuttles as an oxidizer for the spacecraft's fuel, typically liquid hydrogen. When mixed and ignited, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen create a powerful and efficient chemical reaction that generates the necessary thrust for the shuttle to break free of Earth's gravity and enter space. It is a highly efficient and reliable propellant choice for space missions.
they were discovering space therefore discovery
the space shuttle (discovery) was the first manned space ship that was reuseable.
1782
Space Shuttle discovery's last flight on February 24, 2011 was it's 39th flight into space.
Space Shuttle Enterprise is in New York, Space Shuttle Discovery is in Virginia, Space Shuttle Atlanti is in Florida, and Space Shuttle Endeavour is in California.
Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31.
The oxygen we use everyday in a breathable form is not normally found in space beyond our own atmosphere. The plant ecosystem here converts carbon dioxide to oxygen. NASA must transport large containers of air for the astronauts to breath on space missions. Over last few years NASA and other space agencies have started using oxygen generators, some of which convert water to oxygen. These devices are very expensive and not very efficient, but are improving over time.
The spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey is called Discovery One.
They need to take it with them. There is no oxygen in space
Oxygen is transported as a liquid in a rocket ship because liquid oxygen is more dense and takes up less space than gaseous oxygen, allowing for more efficient storage in the limited space of a rocket. Additionally, liquid oxygen is more stable and easier to control during the combustion process in the rocket engine.
