Space Shuttle

No, absent unexpected malfunctions, the inhabitants of a space craft experience the same comforts that those on this planet do: Although gravity must be controlled and is not as easily used for all actions, it is effective; the provision of heat or cold is easily controlled.

Lettering on the space shuttle including the orbiter's name (Discovery, Atlantis, etc.) and the word "United States" uses the Helvetica font.

Orbiters have featured 2 different NASA logos over the years including the current "meatball' logo with a blue background with stars with NASA in red as well as the stylized "worm" logo. Both logos include custom designed lettering and are not part of an full font. Some designers have created complete fonts inspired by these designs however.

The first permanent space station in space is the International Space Station (ISS), which has been continuously inhabited since November 2, 2000. It serves as a research laboratory for scientific research in microgravity.

Astronauts aboard the space shuttle, like other space craft including the ISS, have to be most careful about loose items in micro-gravity. Food in particular is carefully planned to prevent crumbs and other small bits from getting loose and ending up in sensitive equipment or in an astronauts eye.

The Space Shuttle program lasted 30 years, one of the longest space programs in history. The completion of construction of the International Space Station led The United States Congress to direct NASA to focus it's efforts beyond Low Earth Orbit. Initially this took the form of the Constellation program which was later canceled with only the Orion, later named Multi-Purpose Crew Module retained from that program.

The first successful rocket is known as the V-2 rocket, developed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile and laid the foundation for future rocket technology.

The first rover in space was Lunokhod 1, a Soviet robotic rover that was launched to the Moon in 1970. It was part of the Soviet Union's Luna program and successfully operated on the Moon's surface for about 10 months, covering a distance of over 10 kilometers.

Easy the shuttle that is currently in orbit is going about 25,405 feet per second (17,322 statute miles per hour). In order to get back to Earth the shuttle will fire a

In order to return to earth, the shuttle fires its Orbital Manuevering Engines (OMS) in the direction opposite to its orbit, also known as a "de-orbit burn" . It only slows down by about 200 m.p.h. in order to begin "falling" back to earth.

As of now, the farthest spacecraft from Earth is Voyager 1. It has reached interstellar space, located about 14 billion miles away from Earth. Voyager 1 was launched by NASA in 1977 and continues to send back data to Earth.

Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, and Columbia on February 1, 2003.

Yes, all shuttles have safely returned from their missions.

The Space Shuttle was the first spacecraft designed to be reused. It consisted of reusable orbiter vehicles that could return to Earth after completing their missions, as well as solid rocket boosters and an external fuel tank that were also reusable.

The first shuttle, Columbia, was launched April 12, 1981.

The last flight will be flown by Atlantis. It is scheduled for July 2011.

The reason being is that N.A.S.A does not want to lose millions and billions of dollars in shuttles or crafts so they put computers that can be tracked and remotely controlled so people do not risk their lives in space and so the shuttles/crafts don't get lost in space.

The rocket stages fall back to Earth after separation because they have used up their fuel during the launch and no longer have the propulsion needed to stay in orbit. Gravity then pulls them back towards Earth, and they either burn up in the atmosphere or land in a designated area for recovery and reuse.

Canada does not have its own space shuttle program. Canadian astronauts have historically participated in space missions through partnerships with other space agencies, such as NASA. The costs associated with launching astronauts or payloads into space vary depending on the mission and the space agency involved.

Enterprise (non space worthy flight test version), Columbia, Challenger, Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour

When the external tank separates from the space shuttle after the main engines shut down, it re-enters Earth's atmosphere and disintegrates. The tank is not designed to survive re-entry and burns up as it falls back to Earth, with any remaining debris falling into the ocean.

The external tank is used to hold the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellants needed for the space shuttle's main engines. It is jettisoned once the propellants are depleted and it is no longer needed. The external tank is not reused and burns up upon re-entering Earth's atmosphere.

the glass bowl they wear on their head to give them oxygen. the suit together so they wont get harmed

The space shuttle was launched into space using a combination of solid rocket boosters and liquid fuel engines. The boosters provided the initial thrust needed to get the shuttle off the ground, while the main engines continued to propel it into orbit. Once in space, the shuttle would orbit the Earth until it was ready to re-enter the atmosphere and land back on Earth.

Space shuttles and space stations are similar in that they are both used for space exploration and research. However, space shuttles are spacecraft designed for transport between Earth and space, while space stations are large structures designed for long-term habitation in space by astronauts. Additionally, space shuttles can return to Earth, while space stations remain in orbit.

A space shuttle overcomes Earth's gravity by using powerful rockets to propel itself upwards with enough speed to escape the pull of gravity. Once in space, the shuttle continues to move forward at a high velocity, which counteracts the force of gravity and allows it to remain in orbit around the Earth.

The cost of the parts for a space shuttle varies depending on the specific part and its complexity. Overall, building and launching a space shuttle can cost billions of dollars, with costs for individual parts ranging from thousands to millions of dollars.
