Space Shuttle

The International Space Station travels at an average speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour) in low Earth orbit. This fast speed allows it to orbit the Earth roughly every 90 minutes.

If you meant 'Where does outer space end?' then the answer is that the universe is infinite, and that there is no attainable 'edge of the universe'. If you meant 'when will outer space end', that's a completely different question.

The speed of reentry combined with air friction creates a massive amount of heat at the point of entry.

Heat shielding allows the craft to survive the high temperatures intact, but even a small defect in shielding can be catastrophic.

During reentry, the space shuttle experiences deceleration forces of around 3 g's. This means that the astronauts onboard would feel a force three times stronger than the force of gravity pulling them towards the Earth.

Sound needs a volume to travel in. Space happens to be a vacuum, so said volume is not there. Sound cannot travel in space because of this.

If sound cannot travel through space, it is not going to reach Earth.

So, no.

The first space shuttle to fly in space was named Columbia. It completed its maiden flight on April 12, 1981.

The shuttle is traveling at a tremendous speed. In order to come out of orbit, the shuttle must slow down. When flipped backwards, the shuttle fires it's engines to slow down and enter the atmosphere. The shuttle begins to be slowed down by the atmosphere as it flips to a forward position for a proper landing.

It can go a little faster than 18,000 miles per hour. So slow compared to what the universe can throw at it.

No fatalities have ever occurred on a shuttle prior to launch.

3 astronauts did die on January 27, 1967 during a test for the Apollo/Saturn-204 launch, also known as AS-204. Command Pilot Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Edward H. White, and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee died when fire broke out inside the capsule.

AS-204 was later officially renamed Apollo 1.

Spacecraft like rockets, space shuttles, and satellites are vehicles that can fly in space. They are designed to operate in the vacuum of space and travel to different celestial bodies like the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

From the perspective of the spaceship, it moved away from Earth. However, according to Newton's third law of motion, the Earth also moved away from the spaceship in the opposite direction. This is due to the equal and opposite reaction experienced when thrust is applied for the spaceship to leave Earth's atmosphere.

A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide knowledge of the subject matter. A consultant usually works for a consultancy firm or is self-employed, and engages with multiple and changing clients. Thus, clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and may purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired. It is generally accepted good corporate governance to hire consultants as a check to the Principal-Agent problem.

'Consultant' is also the term used to denote the most senior medical position in the United Kingdom, Australia andIreland (e.g., a consultant surgeon).

Kalpana Chawla was the Indo-American woman astronaut on board the space shuttle Atlantis. She was the first woman of Indian descent to go to space and tragically lost her life during the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003.

No. Operation in rain is not commonly a requirement of spacecraft. Even if it were, the high speeds of spacecraft would cause any rain to fly off the windows. The space shuttle, for instance, is still going just over 400 miles per hour when its wheels touch down when returning to earth.

Christa McAuliffe, a teacher from New Hampshire, was one of the seven crew members tragically killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986. She was selected to be the first civilian teacher in space as part of NASA's Teacher in Space Project.

The festival of the fruits is the largest festival that can be seen from space. It celebrates the curvature of the banana.

It is held once every 50 years and the next festival is in 2012

Endouver has a max cargo capacity of 55,250 pounds in its 60 by 15 ft cargo bay. This is representative of all US Space Shuttle orbiters.

Different orbiters have slightly different capacities, as some are heavier than others. External Tank types can also have an impact; some tanks are lighter than others. Lighter tanks can lift more weight.

The orange object on the space shuttle is the external fuel tank. It contains the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen that are needed to fuel the shuttle's main engines during launch. Once the fuel is consumed, the tank is jettisoned and burns up in the atmosphere.

Typically, the atmosphere in spacecraft is kept close to what it is at sea level on earth, so no compression/decompression is required. Many spacesuit designs use a lower pressure, and spacewalkers "pre-breathe" 100% oxygen for several hours when preparing for spacewalks in order to prevent issues such as "the bends".

The main ingredient of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters by weight is Ammonium Perchlorate, at 69.6% of the solid fuel composition. Ammonium perchrlorate serves as the oxidizer in the shuttle SRBs. The next ingredient at 16% is aluminum, which is the primary fuel in the boosters. The remaining percentage is composed of binders and catalyst substances.

The glass on a shuttle is typically reinforced to withstand pressure differences of up to 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) during launch and re-entry. This strength is necessary to protect astronauts and equipment from the extreme conditions of space travel.

Because the Earth rotates at a greater speed closer to the equator, and Florida is close to the equator. This greater rotational speed makes it so that launch vehicles can use less thrust to obtain the velocity required to reach orbit.

And apart from that, it is near the Atlantic ocean so there is a little probability that launch junks such as rocket booster empty containers can cause damage to people on the ground once they are detached.

The first space shuttle to launch into space was Columbia on April 12, 1981. It was the inaugural mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program and marked the beginning of a new era in space exploration.
