Space Shuttle

Yes, each space shuttle has a unique serial number painted on the vehicle for identification purposes. This number is typically located on the nose or tail of the shuttle and is used to track the individual shuttle throughout its missions.

The Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986, due to the failure of an o-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters. The explosion resulted in the deaths of all seven crew members on board. The disaster led to a temporary suspension of the Space Shuttle program and extensive redesign and safety improvements.

The cost of the Space Shuttle heat shield tiles varied depending on factors such as the type of tile, quantity needed, and manufacturing processes. Overall, the heat shield system for the Space Shuttle program was estimated to have cost several hundred million dollars.

If your talking about the turn table thing, it usually costs about 120-150$.

Satellites don't provide power for space shuttles. The shuttle could receive power from the international space station, but besides that, the shuttle wouldn't take any power from any satellites.

Mark Shuttleworth trained at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia, before he went to space as a spaceflight participant on the Soyuz TM-34 mission to the International Space Station in 2002.

Mark Shuttleworth went to space as a space tourist in 2002, becoming the second self-funded space tourist and the first African in space. He paid for a trip to the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Shuttleworth's trip was part of an agreement between the Russian Space Agency and the company he co-founded, Canonical Ltd., which produces the Ubuntu operating system.

The Space Shuttle that exploded in 1986 was the Challenger. The tragic accident occurred shortly after liftoff on January 28th, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members aboard.

The amount of thrust needed to launch a rocket varies depending on the size, weight, and destination of the rocket. On average, rockets require anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of pounds of thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and achieve orbital velocity. For example, the Saturn V rocket used during the Apollo missions had a maximum thrust of 7.6 million pounds.

Space Shuttle Enterprise did not fly in space, it was only a mock-up used for aerodynamics and gliding tests.

Yuri Gagarin was inspired to become a cosmonaut by his interest in aviation and space exploration. He was also motivated by the Soviet Union's goals of advancing space technology and being the first nation to send a human into space. Additionally, Gagarin's strong desire to push the boundaries of human achievement and explore the unknown played a key role in his decision to pursue a career as a cosmonaut.

The first spacewalk was conducted from the Voskhod 2 spacecraft by cosmonaut Alexei Leonov in 1965.

Immediately after the Space Shuttle Program is retired, the International Space Station will rely upon the Russian Soyuz rockets to resupply and re-man the space station. In order to get its astronauts into space, NASA will have to buy seats on the Russian rockets.

Neil Armstrong did not launch in a space shutlle but rather a rocket. The rocket he and fellow crew members of the Apollo 11 mission used to go to the moon was called the Saturn V rocket and was launch from the Kennedy Spce Centre.

To lift a space vehicle into orbit requires massive thrust. The best way to achieve break-out of earths gravity is a lift-off vehicle with a number of engines and a huge fuel tank. As soon as stage 1 has burned its fuel and done its job it is jettisoned, you don't need it, into the ocean it goes. Stage2 is fired to take you high into space and onto a course for your destination. Once that is achieved stage 2 is also jettisoned. Your remaining rocket is hardly needed,there is nothing to slow your progress in the vacuum of space. It will only be fired to alter course, manouvre, or bring you home. You just do not have the power to lift that vehicle off the ground, into orbit, and onto its destination in its entirety, so we do it in sections

Space shuttles do produce pollution, mainly in the form of carbon dioxide and water vapor from the burning of rocket fuel. However, the environmental impact is relatively small compared to other forms of transportation due to the limited number of shuttle launches. The space shuttle program has been retired, with advancements in propulsion technology aiming to reduce pollution further in future missions.

The power needed by the space shuttle when traveling through space varies depending on the phase of the mission. During launch, the main engines produce about 37 million horsepower. Once in space, the shuttle relies on solar panels or fuel cells for power to run its systems and perform maneuvers.

The internationally accepted boundary for space is 100 km (Approximately 62.1 miles) above sea level. This boundary is called the Kármán line. The boundary is named after Theodore von Kármán, who calculated in the 1950s that at an altitude above 100km, a vehicle would have to fly faster than orbital velocity to have sufficient aerodynamic lift to support itself. Once the space shuttle travels above 62 miles, it is considered to be in space.

In space, there is no medium like air to carry sound waves, so there is no way for sound to travel from the spacecraft to an observer's ears. Therefore, a spacecraft moving through space would not generate any sound that we could hear.

The weight of a rocket decreases during takeoff because it is burning fuel, which reduces the amount of mass that the rocket has to lift against gravity. As fuel is used up, the overall weight of the rocket decreases, making it easier to achieve lift-off.

On May 5 1961 Mercury 3 took Alan Shepard to space making it America's first manned space flight

Yuri Gagarin hardly ever left the earth. On April 12, 1961, he was launched from Tyuratam in the USSR,

reached a peak altitude of about 203 miles above the surface, made almost (but not quite) one complete

orbit of the earth, and landed 1hour 48minutes later.

October 4, 1957 was the exact date of the Sputnik launch.

The cost of building a space shuttle varies but on average, it is estimated to be around $1.7 billion per shuttle. This includes design, construction, testing, and mission operations costs.
