There was a faulty O ring which lead to that explosion that killed all the astronauts on board.

International space station is not flying, its orbiting.

The International Space Station (ISS) was launched into space in November 1998. It has since served as a research laboratory for various scientific experiments and as a living space for astronauts from around the world.

NASA's first telescope placed into orbit was the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO-2), launched on December 7, 1968. It was the first of a series of orbiting observatories designed to study celestial objects without the interference of Earth's atmosphere.

The phases of space shuttle flight are liftoff, orbit insertion, orbit, re-entry, and landing.

The International Space Station orbits the Earth at an average altitude of approximately 420 kilometers (260 miles). Its position changes constantly as it orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes. You can locate the current position of the ISS through various websites and tracking apps.

The International Space Station orbits the Earth at an average altitude of about 250 miles (400 kilometers) and travels approximately 17,500 miles (28,000 kilometers) per hour. It completes an orbit around the Earth roughly every 90 minutes.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the independent US governmental agency established in 1958 for the research and development of space vehicles and activities for the exploration of space within and outside of Earth's atmosphere.

Yes. Saturn 5, V or Five was the rocket that sent man to the Moon.

The V is the Roman numeral for 5.

NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It is the United States government agency responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.

Yes, there are public buses operated by METRO that run from downtown Houston to Space Center Houston. You can take METRO Bus Route 246 from downtown to reach the space center.

Sound needs a volume to travel in. Space happens to be a vacuum, so said volume is not there. Sound cannot travel in space because of this.

If sound cannot travel through space, it is not going to reach Earth.

So, no.

The shuttle is traveling at a tremendous speed. In order to come out of orbit, the shuttle must slow down. When flipped backwards, the shuttle fires it's engines to slow down and enter the atmosphere. The shuttle begins to be slowed down by the atmosphere as it flips to a forward position for a proper landing.

It can go a little faster than 18,000 miles per hour. So slow compared to what the universe can throw at it.

No fatalities have ever occurred on a shuttle prior to launch.

3 astronauts did die on January 27, 1967 during a test for the Apollo/Saturn-204 launch, also known as AS-204. Command Pilot Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Edward H. White, and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee died when fire broke out inside the capsule.

AS-204 was later officially renamed Apollo 1.

A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide knowledge of the subject matter. A consultant usually works for a consultancy firm or is self-employed, and engages with multiple and changing clients. Thus, clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and may purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired. It is generally accepted good corporate governance to hire consultants as a check to the Principal-Agent problem.

'Consultant' is also the term used to denote the most senior medical position in the United Kingdom, Australia andIreland (e.g., a consultant surgeon).

There are 15 countries involved in the International Space Station project. These countries are the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The festival of the fruits is the largest festival that can be seen from space. It celebrates the curvature of the banana.

It is held once every 50 years and the next festival is in 2012

The orange object on the space shuttle is the external fuel tank. It contains the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen that are needed to fuel the shuttle's main engines during launch. Once the fuel is consumed, the tank is jettisoned and burns up in the atmosphere.

Because the Earth rotates at a greater speed closer to the equator, and Florida is close to the equator. This greater rotational speed makes it so that launch vehicles can use less thrust to obtain the velocity required to reach orbit.

And apart from that, it is near the Atlantic ocean so there is a little probability that launch junks such as rocket booster empty containers can cause damage to people on the ground once they are detached.

Kalpana Chawla was the first Indian woman to travel twice into space. She was an astronaut who flew on two Space Shuttle missions: STS-87 in 1997 and STS-107 in 2003. Tragically, she lost her life in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003.

No, the only lights the orbiter has externally technically aren't external; they're in the payload bay. Used in orbital night (when the orbiter's in Earth's shadow), even during a spacewalk, or EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity).

Bringing Earth food into space is challenging because it can spoil quickly due to the lack of refrigeration, the presence of microgravity altering flavors and textures, and limited space for storage. Additionally, crumbs and food particles can float around and damage sensitive equipment on a spacecraft. Specialized food and packaging are designed to address these challenges in space.
