Space Shuttle

The Space Shuttles are reusable spacecraft with wings for controlled descent into the atmosphere. They are designed to transport astronauts between earth and an orbiting space station and to deploy and retrieve satellites. Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavour are the three Space Shuttles in operation today.

What is the name of the space shuttle to land on moon?

The space shuttle that landed on the moon was called Apollo. The Apollo missions were a series of manned missions conducted by NASA during the 1960s and 1970s, with Apollo 11 being the first to successfully land astronauts on the moon in 1969.

Which is the first rocket of India?

The first rocket of India was named Nike Apache, which was launched on November 21, 1963. It was a sounding rocket that was launched from Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thumba, Kerala.

Is the space shuttle Discovery a natural ot artificial satellite?

The space shuttle Discovery was an artificial satellite, as it was a spacecraft designed and launched by humans to orbit Earth and carry out specific missions, rather than occurring naturally in space.

Is there gravity on the space station?

Yes, there is gravity on the International Space Station (ISS), but it is not due to the station being in Earth's orbit. The sensation of weightlessness experienced by astronauts aboard the ISS is because they are in a state of constant free fall towards Earth, creating the effect of microgravity.

Why was Galileo considered a space probe and once it got there it became a satellite?

Galileo was considered a space probe during its journey to Jupiter because it was actively collecting data and transmitting information back to Earth. Once it arrived in orbit around Jupiter, it transitioned to being a satellite, where it continued to gather data and transmit information, but now it revolved around the planet instead of actively traveling through space.

What was the name of the Space Shuttle that blew up in 1986?

The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded during launch on January 28th 1986 killing 7 crew members.

What are the shuttle court measurements?

A shuttle court is typically 44 feet long and 20 feet wide for singles matches, and 44 feet long and 22 feet wide for doubles matches. The court is divided in half by a net that is 5 feet tall at the center.

How many space shuttles have exploded at take off or re entry?

There have been two space shuttles that exploded during launch: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.

How many windows does the space shuttle have?

Ten. Six on the front of the flight deck, two on the roof of the flight deck, and two on the rear of the flight deck to watch payload bay opperations.

What is the classification of space-shuttle in enchanted kingdom?

In Enchanted Kingdom, the space shuttle attraction is classified as a thrill ride. It offers guests a thrilling experience with its rotating and swinging motion, simulating a space shuttle launch.

What is the bar-be-cue roll on Apollo 13?

The "bar-be-cue roll" on Apollo 13 was a procedure used to evenly heat up the spacecraft by slowly rotating it along its longitudinal axis. This helped regulate temperature control and prevent any one side of the spacecraft from becoming overheated or too cold. It was a critical technique used to maintain the survival of the crew during the mission.

What creates the heat while a space shuttle is leaving the atmosphere?

Friction between the space shuttle and the atmosphere generates heat during reentry. The high speeds at which the shuttle travels cause air molecules to compress and heat up, leading to the fiery heat shield protecting the spacecraft.

How did the space shuttle discovery get its name?

The spacecraft was named after one of the first British ships of exploration. There were four ships in the fleet but the name comes specific from HMS Discovery that sailed in the late 1700's under Captain Cook.

Where does a rocket keep oxygen to burn?

Only liquid fuelled rockets (and then only some) rely on oxygen as the oxidizer. It is carried in liquid form in a tank (or tanks). It is them pumped and mixed with the fuel in the combustion chamber where the combustion reaction takes place. The combusion products then exit the rocket nozzle.

In solid fuel rockets, the oxidizer (whatever that may be) is usually mixed with the fuel.

How are space shuttles and underwater vehicles similar?

Space shuttles and underwater vehicles are both designed to operate in extreme environments; space shuttles in the vacuum of space and underwater vehicles in the depths of the ocean. They both require specialized equipment to sustain life support systems for astronauts/divers, to provide propulsion, and to withstand high pressures or vacuum conditions. Additionally, both types of vehicles rely on advanced technology and engineering to navigate and perform their respective missions.

How persons can travel space in the space ship?

A space ship is completely different to our normal airplanes. Our normal ships have a certain height limit above which they can't travel because jet engines do not work properly unless there is enough air. Also, the aircraft are not designed to handle the low external pressure, which keeps decreasing as we move away from the earth.

What is the name of the next space shuttle going into space?

The next space shuttle going into space is the Space Launch System (SLS) Artemis I mission, which is an uncrewed test flight around the Moon.

Why are they shutting down the space shuttle program?

The space shuttle program was retired in 2011 due to safety concerns, high operational costs, and the desire to focus on developing new space exploration technologies and capabilities. The decision was also influenced by the need to transition to more sustainable and cost-effective space transportation options.

What is the first rocket that reach space called?

The first rocket to reach space was called the V-2 rocket, which was developed by Germany during World War II. It reached an altitude of 189 km in 1944, marking the first human-made object to cross the boundary into space.

What Romanesque architectural terms refers to the elongated arched masonry structure spanning an interior space and shaped like a half cylinder?

The term for this Romanesque architectural feature is a vault. Vaults were typically used to support the ceilings of buildings and distribute weight evenly, allowing for taller and more open interior spaces in Romanesque architecture.

What famous physicist solved the question of why the space challenger exploded?

Richard Feynman. However he was "guided" to the clues by Air Force General Kuytana, who obviously already had good suspicion of cause but did not want to risk his career, so he needed an outsider like Feynman.

Which do you think is a wiser method of exploration space missions with people on board or robotic space probes?

They both have their pros and cons. Robots can make mistakes, and it would take a very long time to develop a program that is smart enough. However, robots do not need oxygen, and they can be more efficient than humans if used correctly. Humans are more reliable, but they could be in danger if a situation arises (such as a leak in the space shuttle).

What problem did the flying shuttle cause?

The flying shuttle improved weaving speed, but it led to an imbalance in production with weavers unable to keep up with the pace, causing a bottleneck in the weaving process. This resulted in a higher demand for yarn, which led to the development of mechanized spinning technologies to increase yarn production.

How did the explosion of the challenger space ship happen?

The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle in 1986 was caused by the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters. The O-ring failure was due to unusually cold temperatures at the time of launch, which compromised the O-ring's ability to seal properly and ultimately led to the catastrophic explosion.

How does weightlessness occur in a space shuttle that is orbiting earth?

Weightlessness is a measure of how much resistance there is between an object and the local gravity. If you are standing on the ground, then there is 100% resistance between you and the pull of gravity. Your weight is equal to the pull of gravity on your mass. When you jump off a tall object, you are falling. You feel weightless because there is no resistance between you and the pull of gravity.

When you are in a shuttle orbiting the Earth, both you and the Shuttle are falling in such a way that you never hit the ground. This is called an orbit. You feel weightless because you are falling. You just never hit the bottom like you would on Earth.
