What else can I help you with?
Did the space shuttle ever land on the moon?
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
Carries a crew of five to seven and is designed to go only into Earth's orbit?
Oh, dude, you're talking about a space shuttle! It's like this big ol' spaceship that takes a bunch of people into Earth's orbit. It's like a fancy space taxi for astronauts. So yeah, it's got room for a crew of five to seven, and it's all about that Earth orbit life.
What date did they put hubble space telescope in orbit?
The shuttle that would put the Hubble into orbit finally launched on April 24, 1990.
Which space shuttle flight put the hubble space telescope into orbit also what was their flight number?
Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31.
How many space shuttle visit Venus?
None yet. We have not sent one out of low earth orbit even.
Temperature where space shuttle of a space shuttle flies in orbit?
The exterior of a space shuttle in orbit can experience extreme temperatures that range from about -250°F in the shade to over 250°F in the sun. This is due to the vacuum of space and the unfiltered exposure to the intense solar radiation. As a result, the shuttle's thermal protection system is critical for managing these temperature differentials and keeping the internal systems safe.
Why do planes and space shuttles fly at a different speed?
The space shuttle goes into orbit around the earth. In order to stay in an orbit, something that is orbiting has to go at the right speed for that orbit. The orbit the space shuttle goes into has a speed of around 17000 mph. If it went faster, it would go up higher into space away from the earth. If it went slower, it would not have enough energy of motion and it would fall back to earth. The shuttle's big rockets don't just lift it up into space, their main purpose is to give the shuttle this enormous speed so that it can stay in its orbit. A plane engine is not strong enough to make the plane go this fast, but if it did somehow go this fast it would burn up. When it is time to land, small rockets on the shuttle change the orbit so that it goes into the air. The air slows the shuttle down, and it starts to come down faster since it doesn't have enough speed anymore to stay in orbit. The air rushing past the shuttle has friction with the shuttle and gets very hot. As the shuttle goes through the air, it slows down from this friction, until it is finally going slow enough to land. When it lands the shuttle has slowed down to the speed of a plane.
What is the first space shuttle sent into orbit?
Columbia was the first shuttle in to orbit on April 13, 1981
How does a space shuttle escape the earth orbit?
The shuttle never leaves Earth orbit, it simply goes into orbit and then returns. Moving to a higher orbit requires additional speed and manuevering, as when visiting the ISS.
What propells the space shuttle in space?
The space shuttle's main engines are used to propel it into orbit and make course corrections in space. Once in orbit, thrusters are used to adjust its position and orientation. Additionally, the shuttle can rely on gravity assists and other celestial phenomena to maneuver in space.
What was the last space shuttle to orbit earth?
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
Does air rise in a spach shuttle?
So long as there is a temperature and gravity gradient, yes
What is the second space shuttle to orbit the earth?
The second space shuttle to orbit the Earth was the Space Shuttle Challenger. It completed its first mission on April 9, 1983.
What medium does the sound wave travel through to get from the shuttle?
We will assume you are asking about the Space Shuttle, a reusable spacecraft flown by NASA. While the shuttle is lifting off and in the atmosphere any sound generated by the shuttle will travel through the air. When the shuttle is in orbit there is no (or very very little) air and any sound that would have been generated by the shuttle will not be transmitted. There is a pressurized atmosphere within the shuttle that allows the voices of the astronauts to travel within the shuttle just as it does on the surface of the Earth.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
How far is the shuttle from earth when in orbit?

What Temperature where the space shuttle flies in orbit?
In orbit, the Space Shuttle experiences extreme temperature variations depending on whether it is in sunlight or shadow. In direct sunlight, temperatures can soar to around 250 degrees Fahrenheit (about 120 degrees Celsius), while in the shadow of the Earth, they can drop to approximately -250 degrees Fahrenheit (about -157 degrees Celsius). The shuttle's thermal protection system is designed to withstand these extremes, ensuring the safety of the spacecraft and its crew.
