When did the hubble spacecraft take off?
The Hubble Space Telescope was carried as cargo aboard a Space Shuttle mission in April of 1990.
What is used to lift from a planet on a journey into space called?
A spacecraft or rocket is used to lift off from a planet on a journey into space. The rocket engines provide the necessary thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and propel the spacecraft into space.
What happened on Feb12003 to the space shuttle columbia?
While space shuttle Columbia was lifting off, a piece of Styrofoam the size of a briefcase fell on its wing. It made a hole in it. While reentering Earth's atmosphere, heat got inside the wing. It started making engines offline at mission control and the space shuttle disintegrated over Texas. Everyone died on Columbia. (I don't know how they would survive anyway)
To lift from a planet on a journey into space?
To lift off from a planet and journey into space, a spacecraft would typically rely on powerful rocket engines to generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity. The spacecraft would need to achieve a certain speed, called escape velocity, to break free from the planet's gravitational pull and enter into space. Once in space, the spacecraft would continue its journey following its pre-determined trajectory towards its destination.
What year did space shuttle Challenger explode on lift-off?

What makes a space shuttle lift off from earth?
power pure power
What were the three phases of space shuttle flight?
lift off orbit reentry
How does a space shuttle lift off the ground so easily?
A space shuttle lifts off the ground so easily due to a combination of its powerful engines and controlled combustion of rocket fuel. The engines generate enormous thrust that overcomes gravity, allowing the shuttle to ascend into space. Additionally, the shuttle's aerodynamic design helps minimize air resistance and maximize lift during takeoff.
What year did the first shuttle lift off from cape?
The first space shuttle, Columbia, lifted off from Cape Canaveral on April 12, 1981.
How powerful are the engines in a space shuttle?
they are more powerful than the ones in a plane and a jet pack as they need to lift a 2 tonne space shuttle off and out of earths atmosphere
How far in advance to astronauts have to enter the space shuttle before lift-off?
Approximately 3 hours
