Space Shuttle

There is no air in space and because of that, the noise it makes can not transmit elsewhere.

The sound it makes is well noticeable inside the craft though. Sound moves through the materials the shuttle is built from and then it starts transmitting these sounds into the air on board, and this noise is very well audible.

I am sorry to say, but I can not explain the sound it actually makes.

maybe there is something on Nasa homepage regarding this.

The space shuttle is powered by three fuel cell power plants. The fuel cells are located under the payload bay area in the forward portion of the space shuttle's midfusalage. The three power cells operate independantly of each other, with each supplying it's own isolated 28-volt DC bus. The fuel cells are made up of a power section and an accessory section. In the power section, hydrogen and oxygen are transformed into electrical power, heat, and water. The accessory section controls and monitors the power section's performance. The water produced from the fuel cells is either used for crew consumption, used for cooling the shuttle's Freon-21 coolant loops, or is dumped overboard as waste water.

A reusable spacecraft is typically called a space shuttle or a reusable launch vehicle. These spacecraft are designed to be launched into space multiple times, reducing the cost of space missions.

It was called (oh and by the way the person who asked it should pis

off now)

James A. Lovell was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but he predominantly resided in the Chicago area during his career as a NASA astronaut. After retiring from NASA, he continued to live in the Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, Illinois.

It takes about 8-9 minutes for a spacecraft to reach outer space after launch. This is known as the Kármán line, which marks the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space at an altitude of 100 km (62 miles).

The weight of the International Space Station is essentially zero in space since weight is a measurement of the force of gravity acting on an object. It is constantly in freefall around Earth, so it experiences microgravity.

No Space Shuttles landed on the moon.

Apollo capsules with lunar landing module went to the moon. The Apollos stayed in lunar orbit while the landing modules descended to the moon and then returned to the Apollo capsule. The capsules then returned to earth.

Apollos 8 and 10 went into lunar orbit but returned without landing by design. The first Apollo mission to reach the moon, and land, was Apollo 11. Apollos 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 also landed on the moon and returned. Apollo 13 had an emergency, flew around the moon, and returned safely to earth.

The thermosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that reaches very high temperatures due to its proximity to the sun. Space shuttles are designed to withstand these extreme temperatures and navigate through the thermosphere safely as they travel to and from space. Other spacecraft may not have the necessary heat shields and thermal protection to handle the conditions in the thermosphere.

No, Gemini 8 did not land on the moon. It was a manned spaceflight in NASA's Gemini program that successfully completed docking with an unmanned Agena target vehicle in Earth orbit in 1966. The first moon landing was conducted by Apollo 11 in 1969.

Spacecraft float in space due to the lack of gravity pulling them down. They are in a state of continuous free fall around the Earth, causing them to orbit rather than fall back to the ground. This creates the sensation of floating for astronauts inside the spacecraft.

If a space launch is suddenly scrubbed, it likely means that there was a technical issue or operational concern that prevented the launch from proceeding safely. Scrubs are a standard part of space missions to prioritize safety and ensure all systems are functioning properly before attempting a launch.

The space shuttle program revolutionized the space program by providing a reusable spacecraft capable of carrying crew and cargo to space. It enabled the construction of the International Space Station and deployed satellites, telescopes, and other missions. The space shuttle also allowed for astronauts to conduct scientific research and experiments in space for extended durations.

There were a total of 12 missions in the Project Gemini program, which ran from 1961 to 1966 and aimed to develop the skills and technology necessary for the Apollo missions to land astronauts on the moon. Each Gemini mission tested different aspects of spaceflight, such as rendezvous and docking, spacewalking, and long-duration missions.

The Mercury-Atlas rocket booster was a launch vehicle used by NASA during the early years of the Space Race. It was a two-stage rocket that helped launch the first Americans into space as part of Project Mercury. The Mercury-Atlas booster was instrumental in achieving key milestones in the early days of human spaceflight, including the first American orbital flights.

When a space shuttle lands, the main forces acting on it are gravitational force, aerodynamic drag, and the thrust from any retro rockets or thrusters being used. Additionally, the landing gear and brakes may also generate frictional forces as they slow down the shuttle.

The first fruit flies intentionally sent into space were also accompanied by corn seeds aboard a U.S.-launched V2 rocket in 1947. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the effects of radiation exposure at high altitudes.

None. The Space shuttle has never come close to the Moon, let alone land on it.

The space shuttle has never been to the moon. The space shuttle program was primarily used for low Earth orbit missions, such as deploying satellites and conducting research on the International Space Station. NASA's Apollo program was responsible for sending astronauts to the moon.

The cost to send the space shuttle to the space station varied, but estimates range from around $450 million to $1.5 billion per mission. This includes the cost of fuel, maintenance, and operational expenses.

Payload is carried in the Space Shuttle's Payload Bay. The payload bay is situated behind the crew cabin, in the middle of the orbiter. It is 60 ft long and 15 ft wide. The payload bay has two large doors that open once the shuttle reaches orbit. On the inner side of these doors are radiators which help cool the shuttle. Inside the payload bay, there are latches to hold satellites, space station components, experiments, and other objects in place. The payload bay also holds the space shuttle's remote manipulating system (RMS), KU-band antenna, and several cameras and lights. The space shuttle is capable of carrying about 65,000 pounds of cargo in the payload bay.

Astronauts launch their space shuttles from various locations, including Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. Each space agency has its own designated launch site for launching space shuttles.

The space shuttle that exploded less than 2 minutes after liftoff on January 28, 1986, was the Space Shuttle Challenger. The tragic accident resulted in the loss of all seven crew members onboard, including teacher Christa McAuliffe.
