Challenger and Columbia Disasters

Making a space shuttle involves designing and building a complex vehicle that can withstand the extreme conditions of space and re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. The process includes engineering the structure, propulsion systems, thermal protection, and life support systems to ensure the safety of astronauts traveling to and from space. It requires advanced technology, materials, and expertise in spacecraft design and manufacturing.

The Challenger Space Shuttle blew up on January 28, 1986.

Typically a space shuttle mission lasts about a week, although a mission can last up to 10 days. However with the extended duration orbiter (EDO) pallet (A 15 ft diameter assembly of equipment) installed in the space shuttle's payload bay, a shuttle mission can last up to 16 days. The flaw with the EDO though is that it takes up weight and space in the shuttle's payload bay, meaning that the shuttle cannot carry as much cargo. A total of 14 space shuttle missions have used the EDO pallet, although it was destroyed by the Columbia accident on STS-107.

The longest space shuttle mission was STS-80, which lasted 17 days and 15 hours. The shortest were STS-1 and STS-2, each lasting 2 days and 6 hours.

A part on Apollo 13 - an oxygen tank in the command module - exploded, and seriously damaged the spacecraft. It took huge ingenuity and a good stroke of luck to get the astronauts back to Earth safely.

Life in space presents challenges for humans due to factors such as microgravity, radiation exposure, isolation, and limited resources. Extended periods in space can lead to muscle atrophy, bone loss, and effects on the cardiovascular system. Additionally, the lack of gravity requires adjustments in everyday activities such as eating, sleeping, and exercise.

The Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere in 2003 due to damage to its thermal protection system caused by a piece of foam insulation that broke off from the external fuel tank during launch. This damage allowed hot atmospheric gases to penetrate the heat shield during re-entry, leading to the shuttle's breakup.

Damaged seals on a joint in one of the solid rocket boosters made the booster separate from the rest of the vehicle causing a massive explosion.

On blast off, a small piece of foam hit the wing, creating a small hole. On re-entry to the atmosphere the wing began to burn at that location due to hot gases getting in and a fire spread. This is what eventually destroyed Columbia.

The Challenger astronauts survived for approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds after the shuttle broke apart in mid-air on January 28, 1986. The crew did not survive the impact with the ocean.

the name of the space shuttle was columbia.

The space shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, which was a Tuesday.

The Space Shuttle Challenger was launched as part of NASA's STS-51-L mission to deploy a communication satellite. However, the launch resulted in a tragic disaster as the shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986, due to O-ring failure in one of the solid rocket boosters. This led to the loss of all seven crew members onboard.

There are many dates in history that should be remembered. The Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster happened on February 1, 2003.

The Space Shuttle Challenger explosion on January 28, 1986 was caused by the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters, which allowed hot gases to escape and ignite the external fuel tank. This led to the disintegration of the shuttle. The O-ring failure was attributed to the cold weather on the day of launch, which compromised the seal's flexibility and effectiveness.

The ground level temperature was 36 F. 15 F colder than any other launches. After 0.68 seconds, black smoke was coming from the AFT joint of the right rocket booster. Then seventy-two seconds after launch a chain of events caused the shuttle to explode. First, the lower strut connecting the right rocket booster to the external tank was extremely hot and weak. Second, the force that was on the strut made it break away from the right rocket booster and the external tank. Third, since the strut broke away from the right rocket booster, this allowed the right rocket booster to spin freely. With the right booster spinning freely, the bottom was burning, hitting, and denting the challengers' wing. The inside of the external tank had ruptured and was letting out liquid hydrogen. The top of the rocket was hitting the top of the external tank and also broke the oxygen tank. The vapor that these two chemicals made it very dangerous. The vapor is what made the main explosion. This explosion is what killed all six astronauts plus the one civilian.

The space shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, due to the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters. The cold weather on the day of the launch compromised the O-ring's elasticity, leading to hot gas escaping and ultimately causing the catastrophic failure of the shuttle's external fuel tank.

Space spacecrafts work by using rockets to propel them through the vacuum of space. They carry fuel to power the rockets and can adjust their trajectory using thrusters. Once in space, they rely on the laws of physics to continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by another force.

The cold weather caused two of the O-rings in the right solid rocket booster to not seal properly, so hot gases escaped but left behind some aluminium that is in rocket fuel to cover up the hole. At 50 something seconds after liftoff there is a very strong wind that pushes it back and forth (that is also why the smoke cloud left behind is in a zig-zag), dislodging the aluminium and causing a fire, the fire then burned the connector between the rocket boosters and the fuel tank, dislodging the rocket booster. The booster then got hit by wind and made the booster hit into the fuel tank causing it to explode.

The space shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, shortly after liftoff.

Stacks are commonly used in real-time applications such as backtracking algorithms, function call management in programming, and managing undo operations for applications like text editors or design software. They are also used in web browsers to manage history navigation and in expression evaluation in programming languages.

On the space shuttle Challenger, teacher Christa McAuliffe, and Judith Resnik died in January 1986. In February 2003, Lauren B. Clark and Kalpana Chawla were killed during re-entry of the shuttle Columbia.

Mir was launched in 1986, and remained in orbit until March 2001 when it burned up in the earth's atmosphere after it was intentionally de-orbited when its orbit became too low.

With the advent and improvement of the technology systems, space travel and exploration have become more safe and apt. The data processing and transmission from space is more accurate now and it has better equipped man in his search of the unknown in the space.

The canadarm is made for fixing stuff, like satellites or send them into their proper orbit . It is also used for building other spaces structures in space and to reach out to from the spacecraft to send out and bring back payloads, such as satellites.
