Space Shuttle

Space Shuttle "Endeavor" left on May 16th.

No, the Space Shuttle was not completely reusable. The orbiter and solid rocket boosters were reusable, but the external fuel tank was not. Each mission required a new external tank to be constructed.

No. It's internal engines do not have enough thrust, nor do the wings produce enough lift for the shuttle to lift off. If it attempted it, it would end in failure as a burning wreckage at the end of the runway.

The Apollo 11 moon landing mission was carried out from cape Kennedy, it was made up of three parts, the main rocket part the command module and the lunar module. Only the command module did return to the earth

The launch of what? Can you provide more context or clarify your question?

The space shuttle required approximately 500 million Joules of energy for re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. This energy was mainly used to slow down the shuttle and withstand the heat generated during re-entry.

No, space shuttles have never landed on the moon. The space shuttle program was primarily focused on low Earth orbit missions, such as servicing the International Space Station and deploying satellites. The moon landings were conducted by different spacecraft and programs, such as the Apollo missions.

Weather conditions are continuously monitored leading up to a shuttle launch. If rain is present during launch time, it may be due to natural weather patterns in the area and not specifically because the shuttle is going up. Launches are often postponed if weather conditions are not favorable to ensure the safety of the crew and equipment.

I is nearly impossible to put a date on the first unmanned rocket, because the chinese were building unmanned rockets before we discovered them. By the time of the Revolutionary War in America, unmanned rockets were a weapon of war used by the British.

Pavia Shuttle Company was a company founded by Hector Pavia , along with his brother, in the city of Allentown ,Pa. Originally from northern Italy, Pavia arrived in the

United States at the age of twelve , learned english , and began work in one of the numerous

silk mills that thrived in and near Allentown. The brothers struck out on their own ,

developing several innovations in shuttle making. The business was later moved to Lehigh and Vultee streets in the suburbs of Allentown until it closed in the 1960's

with the retirement of Pavia.

Astronauts in a space station conduct scientific experiments, perform maintenance tasks, exercise to stay in shape, communicate with mission control, and carry out educational outreach activities. They also eat, sleep, and socialize with their crewmates.

The shuttle program began with the flight of the columbia, and its worst disaster was the explosion of the challenger.

The first shuttle to be stuck in space was the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. An oxygen tank explosion caused critical systems to fail, leading to a dangerous situation for the astronauts on board. Through ingenuity and teamwork, the crew and ground control were able to safely return the shuttle to Earth.

The Soviet Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (9 March 1934 - 27 March 1968) was

the first human to journey into outer space on 12 April 1961. The Vostok spacecraft

in which he was travelling almost completed one whole orbit of the Earth.

Space rockets and space shuttles are both vehicles designed to carry astronauts and cargo into space. They both rely on powerful engines to propel them beyond Earth's atmosphere and into space. Additionally, both vehicles require precise engineering and technology to ensure successful missions and safe returns to Earth.

A space shuttle overcomes Earth's gravity by using powerful rocket boosters and engines to generate enough thrust to lift the spacecraft off the ground. Once in space, the shuttle relies on continuous acceleration to stay in orbit rather than fighting against gravity.

The US Space Shuttle program retired in 2011 after the final mission of Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-135) in July of that year.

if you mean a NASA rocket ship you would have boosters that drop off after you get so high then you are basically at the mercy of gravity to get you the rest of the way then you basically float in mid space.

Since the exosphere has no specific end, and it is almost into orbit, then yes. When a space shuttle reaches orbital velocity, it is going to fly past the exosphere. A space shuttle has never attained escape velocity that I know of. It is certainly capable, though.

Also, a space shuttle can be flown in the exosphere without ever reaching orbit in some conditions. (i.e. if they launch at JFK in Florida and land at Edwards Air Base in California, because the earth moves counterclockwise. They could only be up there for a very short time, however.)

One of the great technological feats of the Columbia shuttle program was the development of the Space Shuttle Orbiter itself, which was the world's first reusable spacecraft capable of multiple trips to space. The orbiter provided a versatile platform for conducting scientific research and deploying satellites, contributing significantly to advancements in space exploration.

The Space Shuttle used two solid rocket boosters during liftoff. These solid rocket boosters provided the additional thrust needed to propel the shuttle into orbit before separating and falling back to Earth.

The space shuttle uses about 1.6 million pounds (725,748 kg) of fuel during launch. This includes a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen used by the main engines, and solid rocket boosters filled with solid propellant.

There were two space shuttle accidents during NASA's space shuttle program. The first was the Challenger disaster in 1986, and the second was the Columbia disaster in 2003.
