Space Shuttle

After being jettisoned, the space shuttle's solid rocket boosters parachute back to Earth and land in the ocean. They are then retrieved by teams who tow them back to be refurbished and reused for future missions.

The Hubble Space Telescope was the boxcar-sized instrument lifted into orbit by the shuttle Discovery in 1990. This telescope has provided groundbreaking observations and images of the universe, leading to numerous scientific discoveries.

NASA is not selling them. The Discovery is going to the Smithsonian.

The Atlantis, Endeavour and Enterprise orbiters will be donated to other museums; about 20 museums have submitted proposals. Each museum must cover the cost of preparing and transporting the orbiter, about $28.8 million.

After the space shuttle's rockets are jettisoned, they fall back to Earth and either land in the ocean or are disposed of in a designated area. They are not reused and are typically not recovered for future missions.

Space shuttle Columbia first launched on April 12, 1981, for its maiden flight.

There have been no space shuttle landings on Neptune. It would be impossible to land on Neptune for two reasons:

1 - Neptune is a gas giant

2 - Neptune is freezing cold, electronic equipment would freeze and malfunction

After the solid rocket boosters are jettisoned from the space shuttle, they deploy parachutes to slow their descent. They then splash down in the ocean, where they are retrieved by recovery ships for refurbishment and reuse on future missions.

Astronauts eat and drink in the space shuttle by using special food and drink packages that are designed to be rehydrated or warmed up using the shuttle's onboard systems. They use straws and squeeze bottles to consume liquids, and the food packages are usually pre-cooked and require minimal preparation. Utensils are also specially designed to prevent food from floating away in the microgravity environment.

The Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere in 2003 due to damage sustained to its thermal protection system during launch. A piece of foam insulation struck the shuttle's left wing, causing critical damage that led to the shuttle breaking apart. Tragically, all seven crew members on board lost their lives in the disaster.

A space shuttle slows down by firing its engines in the direction opposite to its travel path to reduce its speed. This process is known as retrograde firing. The shuttle can also use its heat shield to generate drag and slow down as it enters Earth's atmosphere.

The oldest surviving space shuttle is the Enterprise, which was the first orbiter in NASA's Space Shuttle program. Enterprise never flew in space but was used for testing purposes, including approach and landing tests in the 1970s. It is now on display at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.

Ley lines rely on tubular energy, a fancy term meaning electromagnetic currents around the earth.

Yes they can power space craft more efficiently, this is due to there highly conductive nature, and lubricative ability, sometimes known as transfrictionionlity.

Or Bojanism.

January 28, 1986. Officially it didn't explode. Seperation from the aft support strut caused the right solid rocket booster to impact the external tank, change the vehicles course dramatically, and cause disintegration of the orbiter and external tank due anomolous aerodynamic forces. The two solid rocket boosters continued powered flight for 37 seconds afterward.

the space shuttle uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen from the external tank (the great big orange

cylinder that the orbiter is attached to for launch); and the SRBs (Solid

Rocket Boosters) burn a solid rocket propellant that is a mixture of

powdered aluminum and ammonium perchlorate. These are used only for launch.

The orbiter (what most people think of as "the Space Shuttle") has two

propulsion systems: OMS (Orbital Maneuvering System) used to change orbit and

to return to earth, and the RCS (Reaction Control System) used for station-

keeping and attitude control both burn hydrazine with oxygen.

A space shuttle typically uses about 1.5 million pounds of fuel during liftoff and ascent to reach orbit. In space, the shuttle relies on its orbital maneuvering system and reaction control system, which use smaller amounts of fuel for activities like adjusting its path and orientation in space.

The most complex machine ever built, the space shuttle has more than 2.5 million parts, including almost 370 kilometers (230 miles) of wire, more than 1,060 plumbing valves and connections, over 1,440 circuit breakers, and more than 27,000 insulating tiles and thermal blankets.

The last space shuttle launch took place on July 8, 2011, and it was broadcast live on NASA TV as well as various news channels. It may be possible to find archived footage of the launch online on platforms like YouTube or NASA's website. Live streams of future space launches can be found on NASA TV and space agency websites.

A space shuttle's wings have a delta-wing shape, which is a triangular shape that helps with stability and lift during atmospheric flight. The wings are also reinforced with thermal protection tiles to withstand the high temperatures during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.

The space shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986.

The space shuttle program included several shuttles, such as Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, and Endeavour, which transported crew to and from space.

Space vehicles return to Earth by re-entering the atmosphere at a precise angle to slow down and land safely. For spacecraft like the Space Shuttle, they utilize heat shields to protect against the intense heat generated during re-entry. Parachutes are often used to slow down and guide the final descent for splashdown in the ocean or landing on solid ground.

The International Space Station (ISS) is currently operational and being used for scientific research and international collaborations. It is expected to remain in operation until at least 2024, with discussions ongoing about extending its lifespan beyond that.

A space shuttle still has to leave the atmosphere, we aren't building them in space. While leaving the atmosphere a space shuttle causes a lot of friction as it rubs against the air on the way up.

If this question refers to the Voyager program, the answer is, we don't know yet. Both the program, and the two deep space probes Voyager 1 and 2, are still on-going.

Both probes have enough electrical energy that they are estimated to be able to continue operating to about 2020. At this point, the program will most likely close down, but the probes will still continue travel on a ballistic trajectory, and where they will end up is anyones guess.

Astronauts on the space shuttle combat the effects of weightlessness by exercising to maintain muscle and bone strength. They also use special equipment like foot restraints and handrails to anchor themselves and perform tasks safely in a microgravity environment.
