Space Shuttle

Yes, space shuttles carry humans.

Well in order to help with the computers.

Yes, the bodies of the Columbia astronauts were found in Texas, Louisiana, and California after the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry in 2003. The search and recovery efforts were conducted by NASA and other agencies to recover the remains of the crew.

it doesn't necessarily fly, its in a constant angular free fall around the planet which is what being in orbit means. But if you're asking why the space shuttle stays in the thermosphere, the answer would be because thats the layer of the earth's atmosphere where a space shuttle's velocity is enough to counteract the earth's gravitational pull, creating an angular free fall as mentioned earlier.

Yes, Mae Jemison faced obstacles in her career, particularly as the first African American woman in space. She had to overcome barriers related to gender and race, as well as skepticism and criticism from some of her peers in the field of aerospace. Despite these challenges, she persevered and became a successful astronaut and role model for future generations.

No, there were no survivors of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The entire crew of seven astronauts tragically lost their lives when the shuttle broke apart 73 seconds into its flight on January 28, 1986.

Yes, gravitational force is acting on both the person falling off a cliff and the astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle. The person falling off a cliff experiences a gravitational pull towards the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate downwards. The astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle experiences a gravitational pull towards the Earth as well, but their motion is primarily governed by their speed and centripetal force that keeps them in orbit.

No, the space shuttle program was retired in 2011. NASA has shifted its focus to new spacecraft, such as the SpaceX Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner, for future missions to space.

The space shuttle Atlantis launch July 8, 2011 and landed July 21, 2011 on mission STS-135, the last of the space shuttle program.

Following that mission Atlantis was prepared for display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex not far from the pads where she had been launched on 33 missions.

The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986 due to the failure of an O-ring seal in one of its solid rocket boosters. The extremely cold temperatures at launch caused the O-ring to become brittle, leading to a breach in the booster and subsequent explosion of the spacecraft.

There were no human Mercury flights before Alan Shepard's, but, there were a few chimpanzee Mercury flights.

One such chimpanzee was named Ham. He named his Mercury Capsule "Banana 7."

The United States government has jurisdiction over Cape Canaveral, as it is a government-owned spaceport operated by NASA and the U.S. Air Force. Therefore, the U.S. government has the right to restrict the number of visitors for space launches at Cape Canaveral.

Space shuttles do not create sonic booms while orbiting Earth because sonic booms are caused by shockwaves produced when an object travels faster than the speed of sound within the atmosphere. Since space shuttles travel at speeds greater than the speed of sound in space (where there is no atmosphere to create the conditions for a sonic boom), they do not produce sonic booms while in orbit.

The average size of a rocket can vary greatly depending on its intended use. However, typical sizes range from a few meters to over 100 meters in length and from a few tons to hundreds of tons in weight. Size is usually determined by the payload capacity and mission requirements of the rocket.

There have been several spacecraft named "Columbia". The Space Shuttle orbiter Columbia was destroyed on reentry. Columbia's debris was collected by NASA for reconstruction to determine the cause of the accident. That debris is now stored on an upper floor of the massive Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center to allow for additional study at a later date if necessary.

The capsule that returned the Apollo 11 astronauts to Earth was also named Columbia. It is on display near the entrance of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.

A space shuttle is typically white to help reflect heat from the sun. The white color helps to maintain a stable temperature for the spacecraft and protect it from extreme heat during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

A parachute slows down the descent of a space shuttle by increasing air resistance, which creates drag and reduces the shuttle's speed as it approaches the ground. This gradual decrease in speed allows for a softer landing than if the shuttle were to descend rapidly without a parachute.

The Canadian Space Agency developed the Remote Manipulator System (Canadarm), a robotic arm used on the Space Shuttle to capture and deploy satellites. The Canadarm was designed to handle payloads, assist astronauts with tasks during spacewalks, and support the assembly and maintenance of the International Space Station.

Three schools that Mae Jemison went to school at are Standford University,medical school, and high school.

The space shuttle launches from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and has landed both back at the Kennedy Space Center but also at the Edwards Air Force Base in California and the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico most recently due to poor weather at the Kennedy Space Center.

Landing facilities at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX are limited and cannot support the space shuttle.

A space shuttle remains in orbit due to a balance between its forward motion and the downward pull of Earth's gravity. The shuttle's speed allows it to continually fall toward Earth while also moving tangentially, creating a curved path around the planet. This balance of speed and gravity results in the shuttle orbiting Earth rather than falling back to the surface.

Endeavour is the British spelling of "endeavor," which means "to try hard to do or achieve something." The orbiter was named after the British HMS Endeavour, the ship which took Captain James Cook on his first voyage of discovery (1768-1771).

The space shuttle is itself a spacecraft. Perhaps you are looking for information on the first satellites launched by a space shuttle. STS-5, launched 16 November 1982, deployed 2 satellites

5 NASA Shuttles have been into space. Of those 5 shuttles, 2 were unfortunately destroyed. There has been a total of 135 Space missions using the space shuttle between the years 1980 and 2011 :)

The space shuttle toilet was developed by NASA with input from engineers and astronauts. It was designed to accommodate the unique challenges of zero gravity and limited space in a spacecraft. The first space shuttle toilet was used on the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981.
