Space Shuttle

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.

They haven't scheduled it yet, but May 8 2011 at the earliest.

The entire space shuttle orbits the Earth, not just a specific part. The shuttle moves around the Earth in a controlled manner, following a specific trajectory set by its thrusters and guidance systems.

Space shuttle launches were discontinued due to safety concerns, high costs, and shifts in space exploration priorities. The space shuttles were designed in the 1970s and were becoming increasingly outdated and expensive to maintain. NASA shifted its focus to developing new spacecraft and fostering partnerships with commercial space companies for more cost-effective and sustainable access to space.

Yes, Eileen Collins was the first female pilot and first female commander of a Space Shuttle mission. She flew on four spaceflights during her career at NASA.

If you break a bone before you go into space because you are an astronaut then no because there are so many requirements to do so. You will be working on the shuttle so it is the use of your hands so no.

Yes, the space shuttle is louder than a typical jet engine. During launch, the space shuttle's main engines produce around 200 decibels of sound, whereas a jet engine typically generates around 140 decibels.

Im not sure but you could try a diffrent site lol

The latest shuttle launch took place on July 8, 2011, which was the final launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-135) mission.

There are tiles on the entire space shuttle. Every square inch is covered in tiles. The nose, bottom and leading edges of the space shuttle have black tiles while the rest of the space shuttle has white tiles.

The nose leading edges and the bottom of the shuttle are the portions of the shuttle that get the most friction/heat from the atmosphere during re-entry.
