Space Shuttle

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.

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.

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

The space shuttle doesn't carry weapons.

yes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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