NASA

sad because we(as mankind) are yet to launchy a space craft into controlled flight at least 5 times out of ten with noone dieing. we so suck! P.S George Bush sux

Spaceships launch from Florida because it's close to the equator. The closer you are to the equator the greater your speed. it give the space shuttle about a 14,000 MPH boost. I believe the control center is in Houston as a "gift" to LBJ from JFK

NASA invented a water filtration system called the Water Recovery System (WRS) in the early 1990s. The WRS was first used on the International Space Station in 2008 to recycle astronauts' urine and sweat into clean drinking water.

The International Space Station is currently operational and inhabited by astronauts. However, it is considered an ongoing project with periodic upgrades and maintenance tasks being conducted to keep it functional and up to date with technology and research needs.

The space shuttle traveled at an average speed of around 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 km/h) in low Earth orbit. This high speed was necessary to balance the force of gravity pulling the shuttle back toward Earth.

The International Space Station (ISS) serves as a research laboratory where scientific experiments are conducted in microgravity. It also allows for international collaboration in space exploration and technological advancement by providing a platform for countries to work together in space. Additionally, the ISS helps to advance our understanding of long-duration space travel, which is crucial for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Well, there was lunar geology, solar wind collection, nearly 200 Lunar photographs showing the stars in frequencies no Earth astronomer could see, as Earth's atmosphere screens out those frequencies. (So much for the hoaxbuff claim that no Lunar photographs show the stars!). And the reflectors left behind have allowed lasers in different points of Earth to precisely locate their position with respect to each other, thus allowing us to measure the motion and flexing of the very continents, which could also prove handy someday in predicting earthquakes.

The Challenger Space Shuttle exploded 73 seconds after launch on January 28, 1986, killing all seven crew members on board. The Columbia Space Shuttle disintegrated upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere on February 1, 2003, killing all seven crew members on board.

The current administrator of NASA is Bill Nelson, who was appointed by President Joe Biden in 2021. The role of CEO is not a typical designation for the head of NASA, as it is a federal agency under the Department of Defense.

NASA has developed many technologies such as memory foam, scratch-resistant lenses, and water filtration systems. They have also made significant contributions to fields like aeronautics, robotics, and materials science.

Answer: Astronauts close their eyes...The International Space Station is equipped with what are basically sleeping bags. They use Velcro fasteners to attach them to a convenient spot on the wall. Astronauts sleep with their arms inside the sleeping bags. Otherwise, they wake up in a "Frankenstein" position due to low gravity. See attached link with pictures from NASA.

The Space Shuttles were not created, they were constructed. North American Rockwell was awarded the contract to build the first orbital Space Shuttle, Colombia, on July 26, 1972. Construction began on March 25, 1975 at the Rockwell's Palmdale, Califorinia plant. Colombia rolled out of Rockwell's plant on March 8, 1979 and was taken to Edwards Air Force Base to be mounted on the back of a 747 for transport to Kennedy Space Center. Columbia arrived at KSC on March 25, 1979. After delays with the booster and tiles, Colombia finally lifted off into space on April 12, 1981.

Columbia flew a total of 28 missions in space, the last one resulted in disaster as Columbia broke up over Texas during reentry on February 1, 2003. It never made it back to KSC. The vehicle was destroyed and the crew of 7 perished following breakup of the orbiter.

Cape Kennedy is the best viewing followed by Titusville and the Cape Canaveral area are best.

Kennedy Space Center sells tickets to the prime viewing area a few weeks before each launch. For those who cannot travel to the area, you can watch the launch on the internet through NASA TV.

However there are no more shuttle launches.

If the Earth and Jupiter are lined up properly and you assume Jupiter is 480,000,000 miles from the sun and earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun and the shuttle travels 17,500 mph:

480,000,000-93,000,000=387,000,000 (distance from Earth to Jupiter)

387,000,000/17,500=22,114 hours or 921 days or 2.522 years.

Note however, that space shuttles aren't designed to totally escape Earth's gravitational pull and wouldn't be able fly that far away. Also, we do not possess drives capable of achieving so much thrust to fly a spacecraft in straight trajectory towards planet. Generally we use transfer orbits - such as Hohmann transfer orbit - where spaceship leaves Earth on the opposite side of Sun. Travel time is even longer then.

he payed $20 million to get t the international space station

The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.

Eileen Collins was the first woman to command a space shuttle. Born in 1956, Eileen Collins was selected by NASA for their astronaut training program in 1990 and first flew in 1995. In 1999, on STS-93 on the Columbia space shuttle, Eileen Collins became the first woman space shuttle commander.

A space shuttle can reach speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,164 kilometers per hour) when in orbit around the Earth. This velocity allows the shuttle to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and remain in a stable orbit around the planet.

As of September 2021, there have been a total of 580 individuals who have traveled to space. Currently, there are six people who have been to space and are still living: Gennady Padalka, Fyodor Yurchikhin, Sergey Krikalev, Oleg Artemyev, Yuri Malenchenko, and Konstantin Kozeyev.

NASA have sent many satellites and probes and landers to Mars and beyond. You need to be a bit more specific with your question. But I am sure a Google search (which I am not going to do for you) will turn up a complete list. The name of the satellite was Behemoth (MRO) Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It was launched in 2005 to begin its 6 month journey to mars.a sattelite is also known as what people use as a tv reception they get that reception from space which carries a huge sattelite

The International Space Station (ISS) gets its energy from large solar arrays that convert sunlight into electricity. These solar arrays are positioned on the station's exterior and help power all the systems and modules onboard the ISS.

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) was established on July 29, 1958.

The Space Shuttle's large External Tank is loaded with more than 500,000 gallons of super-cold liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, which are mixed and burned together to form the fuel for the orbiter's three main rocket engines.

yay i answered my question
