Space Shuttle

Astronauts who have traveled to space aboard the space shuttle have seen the stars from the spacecraft's windows. Seeing the stars from space is a unique and awe-inspiring experience that very few people have had the opportunity to witness.

The primary purpose of the Enterprise space shuttle was to perform atmospheric test flights without going into space. It was used to validate the spacecraft's design and aerodynamics for future missions.

The Apollo 11 mission, not a space shuttle, was involved in the first lunar landing. The lunar module named "Eagle" carried astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the Moon's surface on July 20, 1969.

A space shuttle re-enters Earth's atmosphere at around 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour). During descent, it sheds speed and eventually lands at a speed of about 200-300 miles per hour (320-480 kilometers per hour).

When the space shuttle is orbiting the Earth, the effect of microgravity is caused by the spacecraft and everything inside it being in free fall towards the Earth. The sensation of weightlessness occurs because both the shuttle and any objects inside are falling at the same rate, creating the illusion of zero gravity.

The space shuttle moves by using its engines to lift off from Earth, then travels through space by following a predetermined flight path. In orbit, the shuttle moves at a speed of around 17,500 miles per hour in order to maintain its trajectory around the Earth. During reentry, the shuttle uses its heat shield to protect itself from the intense heat generated by atmospheric friction.

No, the Space Shuttle was designed to operate in the Earth's atmosphere and would not be able to withstand the extreme conditions on Venus, including its thick atmosphere and high temperatures. Additionally, the Shuttle's thermal protection system is not designed for such a mission.

The space shuttle program ended in 2011, so there are no more planned space shuttle flights. NASA has shifted its focus to other spacecraft and rockets for future missions to space.

A leak in one of the fuel tanks ignited... if you watch a video on youtube you can see smoke coming out of the side (You have to look very hard). Midflight, the fuel tank exploded. Interestingly, when recovery crews found the crew module, they saw that they drowned in the capsule when they hit the ocean, rather than get burned by fire or from the shock of the explosion.

Yes, space shuttles contribute to environmental harm through emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants during launch. Additionally, the disposal of spent rocket stages in orbit can contribute to space debris, which poses a threat to ongoing space missions and the sustainability of space activities.

A space shuttle in low Earth orbit travels at a speed of around 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) in order to balance the force of gravity pulling it back towards Earth with the centrifugal force of its forward motion, allowing it to stay in orbit.

your question doesnt even make any sense, do you mean, like if you were standing right next to it???? Well if you were you would probably die

As you may know already there is not much gravity in space maybe Evan none. So in order for something as large as the space station it stays in space by the gravitational pull form Earth I guess?

Before the space shuttle program, NASA used various launch vehicles such as the Saturn rockets for the Apollo missions and the Space Transportation System for early spaceflights. These vehicles were designed for specific missions and did not have the reusable characteristics of the space shuttle.

NASA built a total of five space shuttles: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles were in operation from 1981 to 2011.

Space shuttles typically operate in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere, which extends from about 80 kilometers (50 miles) above the Earth's surface to between 550-1000 kilometers (340-620 miles) high. At these altitudes, the air is extremely thin, allowing the shuttles to operate efficiently in the near-vacuum conditions of space.

The flying shuttle, invented by John Kay in 1733, revolutionized the weaving industry by increasing the speed and efficiency of weaving. It significantly sped up the process, allowing weavers to produce cloth more quickly and increase their productivity. The flying shuttle was widely adopted and contributed to the growth of the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution.

There have been 6 orbiters.

Enterprise was first. Never flew in space. Was built for Approach and Landing tests (ALT).

Then came Columbia, Challenger, Atlantis, Discovery. Endeavour is the baby of the fleet and was built to replace Challenger.

Columbia and Challenger were destroyed in accidents. Enterprise is in a museum.

Well, NASA has developed many things that we still use today on earth and are the founders of incredible technology. Also knowing about our solar system and continuing to study it create smarter people and increases logic amount humans as well as knowledge. Thus making us smarter as a spices. No new knowledge gained is every a waste because even if we have no current use for the knowledge that doesn't mean it won't be useful later. Also keeping busy will give people a goal to work to. It's like math, although when learning it most times people can't find a practical use for it, it's making you a smarter and more rounded person.

Up until today, they used the Shuttle. Since this was the last shuttle mission, they will need to use the Soyuz space capsules until NASA comes up with a replacement vehicle, which is not even on the drawing board.

Jerry L. Ross holds the record for the most space shuttle flights, with seven missions. He is a former NASA astronaut and has logged a total of 1,393 hours in space.

An interdental space refers to the area between two adjacent teeth within the same arch of the mouth. It is the space where dental floss or interdental brushes can be used to clean in between the teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene in interdental spaces is crucial for preventing plaque buildup and gum disease.

The space shuttle gets back to Earth by re-entering the Earth's atmosphere at a high speed, causing friction that slows it down. It then uses a combination of heat shields and parachutes to safely land on a designated runway.

The smoke that comes out of the bottom of a rocket is its "exhaust", much like the smoke and steam you see from a car's exhaust pipe on a cold day. But most of it you can't see : a huge volume of expanding hot gases. When rocket fuel "burns" (whether it is liquid hydrogen, kerosene, or solid propellant), it combines with oxygen to release incredible amounts of heat energy. The released gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other compounds) are rapidly heated and violently expand, and the only way out is through the nozzles at the base of the rocket. This thunderous rush of gases zooms out of the rocket, and according to Newton's law of action and reaction, the rocket is pushed in the other direction, which is ideally "up."

It takes a lot of energy to lift a heavy rocket against gravity, and accelerate it to the high speed (40000 km/hr, or 25000 mph) that it needs to reach orbit. Once in space, however, it will continue to move without much help as it circles the Earth.

Space shuttles don't land on the moon. They only went between the Earth's surface and orbit.

The didn't carry enough fuel to get to the moon, and couldn't land there anyhow. No atmosphere, no runway, no Place to refuel.
