Space Shuttle

No, rocket fuel is liquid Hydrogen and liquid Oxygen, both of which are abundant and just require energy to extract from water and/or the atmosphere.

The fuel that provides the energy might be limited however ;)

The first shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which completed its maiden flight on April 12, 1981. This marked the beginning of NASA's Space Shuttle program, which aimed to provide a reusable spacecraft for space missions.

There's no answer to this question; theoretically a craft could travel a centimeter per century and still reach Venus ... eventually.

The cost of individual boosters varies depending on the vaccine and location. Generally, vaccines like the flu shot or tetanus booster can range from $20 to $100. Prices may also be covered by insurance or offered for free at certain health clinics.

If a shuttle runs out of fuel in space, it would be unable to perform maneuvers or adjustments to its orbit. It would likely become stranded in its current orbit until a rescue mission can be mounted. The crew would need to conserve resources and await assistance from a further mission.

As of now, there are no active space shuttles in operation. The Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011 with the final flight of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Today, spacecraft like SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner are used to transport astronauts to the International Space Station.

The friction created by the atmosphere of the Earth and the belly of the shuttle would create so much plasma that the metal would melt off and the shuttle would explode.

Yes, he was the first human in space. Only, his spacecraft was called Vostok, not Vostka.

A space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft designed to transport astronauts and cargo to and from space, capable of conducting various missions before returning to Earth. A space station is a large, habitable structure in space that remains in orbit for extended periods, serving as a research lab and living quarters for astronauts. In contrast, a space shuttle has a specific lifespan and is not intended for long-term habitation, while a space station is designed to accommodate crew members for extended durations.

The International Space Station is used as a science laboratory for conducting experiments in microgravity, as well as for testing technologies for long-duration space missions. It also serves as a platform for international cooperation in space exploration and a living space for astronauts to conduct research and maintain the station.

No, in addition to landing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttles also landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California. This alternate landing site was used when weather conditions in Florida were unfavorable for landing.

Even though free fall causes objects on the International Space Station to appear to be weightless, there actually is gravity. Gravity gets weaker as you move away from the Earth, although it still exists. The change in gravity can be calculated with the equation: 1/(Radius^2). The Earth is about 4000 miles in radius, so in the equation, 4000 miles would be R=1. At 4000 miles in altitude, the distance to the center of the Earth would be 8000 miles so it would use R=2 (twice the radius of the Earth). At the space station's altitude of 200 miles, the equation would use R=1.05. 1/(1.05^2) equals about .91, so gravity on the space station is about 91% of the gravity on the Earth.

The first space rocket to hit the moon was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2, which impacted the moon on September 14, 1959. It was part of the Luna program aimed at studying the moon's properties and environment.

Yes, the Space Shuttle was designed to be reusable, with the orbiter being the only part that was meant to return to Earth and be reused for multiple missions. The solid rocket boosters and external fuel tank were not reusable.

Space is infinite and ever-expanding. There is no clear boundary or end to space, as it continues to expand in all directions. The observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter, but beyond that lies even more uncharted territory.

No, Orrin Hatch did not ride in the space shuttle. He is a former U.S. Senator from Utah who did not participate in any space missions.

The Canadarm, also known as the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System, was a robotic arm developed by the Canadian Space Agency and used on NASA's space shuttles. It was used for various tasks, including deploying and retrieving payloads and assisting astronauts during spacewalks.

A space shuttle is not designed with the capability to travel beyond Earth's orbit due to limitations in propulsion and fuel capacity. Additionally, the primary purpose of a space shuttle is to transport astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station and other low Earth orbit destinations, rather than deep space exploration.

In order to achieve the velocity required to attain low earth orbit the space shuttle is accelerated to approx 17,500 mph by the solid fuel rocket boosters.

The space shuttle is designed to go up into orbit and return to earth and therefore does not ever escape from Earth's gravity.

To answer the question and to make sure everyone understands, let's go back to basics. No matter where in the universe there is always gravity:

F = G ((m1*m2)/r^2)

F: is the gravitational force felt.

G: is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2: are the masses of the two objects

r: the distance between the two objects.

We can see with this equation that the further away from the Earth you get (r gets bigger) the weaker the force of gravity will be (F gets closer and closer to zero but never reaches it).

This may sound weird but the space shuttle stays in orbit because of gravity. iif you let go of an object, the object will fall straight down. However if you through it the object with a certain force, the object will fall further away and if we could give it enough force to reach a speed of 8 m/s then the object would constantly continue to fall around the Earth.

take a look at the image on this page and you should understand:

The space shuttle used a combination of solid rocket boosters and liquid fuel. The solid rocket boosters were powered by a mixture of powdered aluminum and ammonium perchlorate, while the main engines used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel.

When a shuttle takes off, clouds of steam are produced due to the rapid condensation of water vapor in the surrounding air caused by the intense heat generated by the rocket engines. As the hot exhaust gases come into contact with the cooler air, water vapor in the air condenses into droplets, forming the visible clouds of steam.

The Space Shuttle throttled up to 104 percent to provide more power during critical phases of the ascent, like passing through Max-Q ("maximum dynamic pressure") and reaching orbit. This extra thrust helped overcome atmospheric drag and gravitational forces, ensuring the shuttle safely reached space.

NASA has plans to launch 5 space Huttles in 2010, after that they will rely only on the Russian Soyuz rocket. Here is a list of the future mission (Please note that date are subject to chage).

STS-130; Febuary 4th

STS-131; March 18th

STS-132; May 14th

STS-134; July 29th

STS-133; September 16th

5 different space shuttles have been launched on 129 missions.
