Space Shuttle

Yes, both Voyager spacecraft travel much faster than the space shuttle. The space shuttle only needs to travel about 5 miles per second to achieve Low-Earth-Orbit. Voyager 1 travels at over 10 miles per second.

Two space shuttles exploded; one upon take off and one on re-entry. The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, 1 minute 13 seconds after take-off killing all seven members on board. The Space Shuttle Columbia exploded on re-entry in 2003 also killing all seven members on board.

Apollo 17 was launched, from the Kennedy Space Center

The Space Shuttles are covered in heat-resistant tiles. The tiles conduct heat sideways across the shuttle's belly to be dispersed into the atmosphere at the edges of the vehicle. The Space Shuttles Columbia disintegrated in reentry because heat tiles came off during launch.

The purpose of the ill-fated Challenger mission (STS-51-L) on January 28, 1986, was to deploy a communication satellite, conduct experiments, and observe Halley's Comet. However, the mission ended in tragedy when the shuttle disintegrated shortly after launch, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members.

The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred on January 28, 1986, when Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of central Florida, United States, at 11:39 a.m. EST.

Over the course of its lifetime, the Space Shuttle Discovery has spent approximately 337 days, one hour, and thirteen minutes (5,247 orbits, 128,014,451 miles) in space. Discovery has flown on 37 spaceflights (The first being STS-41D in 1984 and the last being STS-128 in 2009). Discovery is still scheduled for two more spaceflights (STS-131 and STS-133 in 2010) before being retired.

Seven astronauts lost their life's during the Columbia disaster.

There Were 2 Famous Rockets.The one more Famous One was The Space Shuttle Challenger That took off in 1986 Which had 6 Crew In it.On one Cold Florida Afternoon The reason for the Explosion was that The fuel leaked and as it got more depressurized and condensated it exploded due to the extreme gas.And The SpaceX Rocket That had No crew Member Blew Up for Unknown Reasons But it was carrying Food and Tools to the ISS.

I'm trying to find a printable version of the instructions, but I do remember all the rules on how to play it. I still have my old board, but the box and instructions are gone. I'm thinking of just typing them up myself since I still remember them. Maybe you can try Toys R Us.

I don't know but I have to say that the girl/boy who wrote that you are wasting time on here is right I am doing a toastmasters assignment on Sally Ride when all the other kids are outside playing and having fun while I'm doing this paragraph and looking for answers for Sally Ride and I don't find anything and I am 10 yrs. old.

A 10 year old should not be wasting there time on this they should be exercising outside and running like other 10 year olds do I am with the other girl/boy so if you are 10 do not waste your time play with your friends!:)

P.S can I know your name the one who wrote that paragraph?

The Space Shuttle main engines are powered by a combination of Liquid Oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer and Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) as a fuel. Both propellants are stored in the space shuttle's External Tank during launch. They are fed into the space shuttle's main engines by umbilical lines on the external tank, and then the orbiter's main propulsion system feed lines. The Space Shuttle's main engines can achieve a thrust level of about 512,300 pounds, which is greater than 12,000,000 horsepower.

The external fuel tank of the space shuttle was approximately 154 feet long and 27.6 feet in diameter. It had a volume of about 528,000 gallons and could hold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for the shuttle's main engines during launch.

Unfortunately, these privately minted Marshall Islands coins are essentially worthless. They are not silver, so they cannot even be sold for any metal value. You can't even redeem them at a bank in the Marshall Islands -- they won't honor them. At best, you might get a couple dollars as a novelty item. Wish I had better news for you,

Space Shuttle Columbia's first mission launched on 12 April 1981 and lasted until April 14, during which it orbited the Earth 36 times. The mission commander was John W Young, with pilot Robert Crippen.

The space shuttle uses a parachute after landing to slow down its descent and help it come to a controlled stop. The parachute reduces the impact force on the shuttle and allows for a safer landing for astronauts and equipment onboard.

Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are commonly used as rocket propellants because they provide a high specific impulse, making them very efficient for space travel. When combined in a rocket engine, they undergo a highly energetic chemical reaction, producing a powerful thrust. Additionally, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are readily available and have a high energy-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for propulsion in space missions.

Yes, the material a rocket is made of can affect the distance it travels. Factors such as weight, aerodynamics, and heat resistance can impact the overall performance and efficiency of a rocket, influencing its range and altitude. Additionally, different materials may have varying structural properties that can affect the overall durability and lifespan of the rocket.

The spacecraft typically leaves the launch pad at the predetermined launch time scheduled by the mission controllers. This time is carefully planned to ensure alignment with the mission objectives and orbital trajectory.

STS-1 was the first space shuttle mission. During this mission, space shuttle Columbia was commanded by Capt. John W. Young and piloted by Capt. Robert L. Crippen.

Space shuttles were designed for reuse, allowing multiple missions with the same hardware. This reduced the cost per launch compared to single-use rockets. Additionally, the shuttle's ability to carry large payloads and a crew to space in a single mission increased efficiency and reduced costs.
