Space Shuttle

The Mir space station weighed approximately 130 tons.

Its maiden flight was on 4 April 1983 and it flew nine more missions from 1983 - 1985. Its tenth mission, on 28 January 1986, resulted in it disintegrating 73 seconds after it launched and killing all seven astronauts onboard.

The last space shuttle launch took place on July 8, 2011, with the space shuttle Atlantis flying the final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program, STS-135. Since then, NASA has relied on other vehicles, such as SpaceX's Crew Dragon, for crewed missions to space.

The outer layer of a rocket is typically made of lightweight materials such as aluminum or composite materials like carbon fiber. These materials are chosen for their strength and ability to withstand the extreme conditions of space travel. Additionally, heat-resistant materials are often used on the parts of the rocket that will experience high temperatures during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

The space shuttle tiles were bonded to the shuttle's skin using a unique adhesive called "Columbus Polymer." This adhesive was specifically developed to withstand the extreme temperatures of space reentry and provide thermal protection to the shuttle.

First, the Moon is about 240,000 miles from Earth. Second, the Shuttle couldn't go there on a bet. If you are talking about an average speed of 12,000 miles an hour, then obviously the answer is 20 hours to go 240,000.

The two main types of rockets are liquid fuel rockets, which use liquid propellants like liquid oxygen and kerosene, and solid fuel rockets, which use a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer. Liquid fuel rockets offer more control and efficiency, while solid fuel rockets are simpler in design and more reliable.

Space shuttles are primarily made of aluminum alloys, which are lightweight and have good strength-to-weight ratio. They also use titanium and stainless steel in certain components for their durability and resistance to high temperatures. Additionally, some parts may be coated with thermal protection systems like insulating tiles made of materials such as silica fibers or reinforced carbon-carbon.

Space shuttle Challenger exploded on the 28th of January 1986.

The International Space Station was not finished at a specific point in time. Construction of the ISS began in 1998 and has been ongoing, with modules continuously being added and replaced to expand and maintain the station.

Taking off for space is a thrilling and intense experience. You will feel the powerful force of the rocket engines propelling you upwards, the acceleration pushing you back into your seat, and the increasing pressure on your body as you leave Earth's atmosphere. It is a mix of excitement, adrenaline, and awe as you leave the planet behind and head into the vast unknown of space.

The first satellite in space was the Russian Sputnik, launched in 1957.

One main function is to manuver the shutles gas tanks so the shuttle could stay in space flying. The other function is to add more fenger-5 fuel to make the shuttle's materials work slowly which is important. There is your answer my young student.

The First Orbiting Space Station was Salyut 1. The first crew was unable to dock, but the second crew stayed for 23 days, but died from exposer to the vacuum of space while undocking. The world's first space station was de-orbited 175 days after launch.

The purpose of going into space is to explore and discover new worlds, conduct scientific research, advance technology, and potentially establish human colonies on other planets. Additionally, studying space helps us better understand our own planet and the universe.

The name of the space shuttle was Challenger.

Many rockets (Including the Space Shuttle) have cryogenic rocket engines. These are rocket engines that very cold liquid propellants. The most common cryogenic engines use Liquid Oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer and Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) as fuel. Rockets require the fuel and oxidizer to feed into the engines at a very high mass flow rate in order to generate the necessary thrust. The solution is to store oxygen and hydrogen in liquid form, where they are more dense (meaning that they will be fed into the engine at a higher mass flow rate). Because oxygen and hydrogen are gaseous at room temperature, they must be cooled to very low temperatures in order to take on a liquid state. Oxygen must be cooled to -183 degrees C (-297 degrees F) and Hydrogen must be cooled to -253 degrees C (-423 degrees F).

Hubbles top speed is 8,530 nano/m per sec which allows it to travel it the same hemisphere there astronauts put it on.

The amount of food needed for survival varies based on factors like age, weight, activity level, and metabolism. On average, men need about 2,500-3,000 calories per day to maintain their weight. For three men over a year, that could amount to approximately 2.7-3.2 million calories collectively.

One possible hypothesis could be that there is a tree branch or other object scraping against the window due to wind or animals moving around outside. Another hypothesis could be that small animals, such as birds or squirrels, are climbing on the window or nearby structures, causing the scratching sound.

Robert Goddard, known as the father of modern rocketry, is not related to Mary Katherine Goddard. Mary Katherine Goddard was a printer and publisher who printed the first official copies of the Declaration of Independence.

Spacecrafts are launched into space using rocket propulsion systems. Rockets generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and propel the spacecraft into orbit. Once in orbit, spacecrafts can travel further into space with the help of additional propulsion systems like thrusters or ion engines.

The first manned spaceflight, made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, lasted about 108 minutes from launch to landing.

Mae Jemison received the Gamma Sigma Gamma Achievement Award in 1988. The award was given to her in recognition of her accomplishments as an astronaut, scientist, and role model for young women.
