Space Shuttle

To withstand Venus's extreme temperatures and pressure, astronauts would require a high-tech space suit that can insulate against heat and provide life support systems. These suits would likely be specially designed to resist corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere and maintain a cool temperature for the astronaut inside.

Shuttle commander Lee Archambault is slated to dock his 100-ton spacecraft at the station at 5:13 p.m. EDT

Launch Pad - it is shot off to space vertically with SRB (solid rocket boosters) - havent you seen om TV - shuttle being launched??

How long it takes a spacecraft to reach Mars depends on the changing distances between Mars and Earth as they orbit the sun, and other factors. Trips are usually planned for when Mars will be closest to Earth; the shortest is about three months.

None of NASA's Space Shuttle fleet are capable of making the trip, and the remaining shuttles are due to be retired.

yes.

The space shuttle doesn't carry weapons.

Fish cannot survive in outerspace. Fish's gills filter 02 (the same molecule we breathe)out of the water. This, along with any other matter, is not found in outerspace. Even if fish could supply themselves with oxygen in outerspace the vacuum would cause them to expand and die. If they created someway to solve this problem (Fish are quite resourceful), the radiation of stars would also kill them. Yes Fish can live in outer space. Fish breathe using water to transform into oxygen so only if there's water outer space which is a possibility.

The teacher who was killed in a space shuttle flight was Christa McAuliffe. She was selected to be part of the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger for the NASA Teacher in Space Project in 1986, but tragically, the shuttle exploded 73 seconds after launch, resulting in the loss of all onboard, including McAuliffe.

To allow cooling of the Shuttle:

The interior side of the two cargo bay doors are covered with radiators. Those radiators are connected to the overall cooling system of the Shuttle. These radiators have to be exposed to space (i.e. the doors have to be opened) to reject their heat and avoid overheating of the Shuttle subsystems.

This is why the cargo bay doors are opened as soon as the Shuttle reaches its orbit, and are closed only shortly before re-entry.

See the Related Link below for a site which has scale drawings. There is also a link which provides details of publications containing various modelling instructions for space related vehicles.

The name of the second space shuttle is "Enterprise." It was originally built as a test vehicle and did not go on operational space missions like the other shuttles.

British engineer, Thomas Parker is credited with designing the one of the first electric cars in 1884. Early on, he had a desire to promote fuel efficiency and cut down on some of the vehicle pollution in London. He is also known for electrifying the underground Tube in London.

flexible and have additional purposes

There is currently no specific limit to how long a human can stay in space. Astronauts have spent up to a year on the International Space Station, but long-term effects on the body are still being studied. Extended stays in space can lead to muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and other health concerns.

T is for TIME, and the minus is the amount of time left before takeoff. If you say T minus two, and TIME is 0830, it is 0828. "Holding" is another term meaning the countdown has stalled usually due to a technical problem. T minus 2 and holding in this case would mean 0828 and countdown has paused until problem is resolved.

The question is moot because I don't think the shuttle can break orbit. However, in an effort to give you some usefull answer, it took about 3 days for the Apollo missions to reach the moon, and the Sun is about 400 times further than the moon. I would suggest that the speed they were traveling to the moon it would take years. There is no reason to suppose that any craft carrying human cargo would be limited to the speeds we used on the voyages to the moon. Typical estimates for getting to Mars (about half as far from the Earth as it the EArth is from the sun) are about 6 months. That would suggest we could get to the sun in just a year. But I think the sun is an easier target to hit because of its huge gravity that pullls you in as you get closer. So as my final answer I am going to say it would be on the order of months, between 6 and 18 months depending on what orbit you were trying to achieve.

space shuttle orbiters are launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They must not only travel the ~250 miles to reach "space", they must accelerate to over 17,000 mph to maintain orbit around the Earth.

The shuttle orbiter uses its 3 main engines along with a pair of solid rocket boosters to do this.

yes she had 2000 kids that what answer . com sed and i dont believe it

Two out of the five (six if you count Enterprise which never actually went into space). The two space shuttles destroyed were Columbia; on February 1, 2003, when shortly before it was scheduled to conclude its 28th mission, STS-107, the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas and Louisiana during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in the death of all seven crew members, and Challenger; Space Shuttle Challenger(mission STS-51-L) 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 at 11:38 EST (16:38 UTC). Disintegration of the entire vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff.

Space junk travels as fast as all material that orbits the Earth or at about 17,500 miles per hour. This is fast enough to do damage to anything the junk encounters in orbit.
