Space Shuttle

Yes, the robotic arm on the space shuttle is considered a robot because it is a mechanical device that can be programmed to manipulate objects in its environment autonomously.

The first Indian rocket launched in space was the Rohini-75, which was launched on August 10, 1979. It marked India's entry into space technology and was a significant milestone for the country's space program.

The speed of a spaceship in outer space can vary depending on the design and propulsion system. Some spacecraft can reach speeds of over 25,000 mph (40,000 km/h) to escape Earth's gravity and travel to other planets, while others can reach even higher speeds for interstellar travel.

The International Space Station is constantly circling the earth. It is in a state of freefall, meaning that it is literally "Falling" around the earth. Since the station falls at an angle relative to the ground, it will stay on a constant circular path around the earth, until some other force alters its path.

Tiles can be made from various materials such as ceramic, porcelain, glass, stone, or metal. The choice of material depends on factors like durability, aesthetics, and budget.

Yuri Ivanovich Malenchenko is a Russian cosmonaut. Malenchenko became the first person to marry in space, on 10 August 2003, when he married Ekaterina Dmitrieva, who was in Texas, while he was 240 miles over New Zealand, on the International Space Station.

No. Yuri Gagarin never flew in the Space Shuttle at all. He was a Soviet Cosmonaut and was the first man in space. The craft he flew was a Vostok Capsule, the Soviet one-man craft that was used for their first two space flights. The Space Shuttle is an American space craft and didn't fly until 1981, just over 20 years after Gagarin's flight and 13 years after his death during a training flight in 1968. The Soviets did eventually build their own version of the Shuttle, calling it the Buran. It flew only once, unmanned, in 1988, just before the collapse of the USSR. It was seriously damaged in 2002 when the hanger it was stored in collapsed during reconstruction.

Since their is no air friction and less gravity in space, the spacecrafts do not keep on using their engines through out their whole trip. They reach their desired speed and then they shut off ther engines, but the space craft will still keep going at the same speed since their is no air friction. There us enough oxygen for the astronauts to breath for the whole trip.

The Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) drop off the space shuttle to reduce weight and allow the shuttle to continue its journey using its main engines. Once the SRBs have burned out their fuel, they are jettisoned to prevent excess weight and drag during ascent.

The Space Shuttle Challenger was destroyed in flight during the STS-51-L mission in 1986. The shuttle broke apart 73 seconds after liftoff, resulting in the tragic loss of all seven crew members aboard.

She has a degree in chemical engineering and medicatoin studies

first one ever launched was Spunik by the Russians

A total of 355 individuals have flown in the space shuttle program, which operated from 1981 to 2011. This number includes astronauts, scientists, and civilians who participated in various missions during the program's duration.

Human have landed on the Moon, not a planet. It was NASA's Apollo missions which successfully landed humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. No human has landed on any other planet besides Earth's Moon.

Columbia didn't explode at lift off. I think you're mistaking it for Challenger, which exploded early in it's flight. Columbia broke apart as it was re-entering the atmosphere. there was a piece of foam that broke off early in the flight (within the first 90 seconds I believe they said) and it doomed the shuttle. the Year it xpolded was 2003 it exploded at lift off 7 people died the Year it xpolded was 2003 it exploded at lift off 7 people died

There is no gravity in a space shuttle, unless its on the ground.

The technology of "Gravity Coils" which generate artificial gravity has not been developed. Inducing a feeling of gravity like the old scifi movies "big wheel" space stations only works for very large structures

None. They all go from Cape Canaveral, which is quite a way away.

Light travels much faster than sound. When a cannon fires, the light travels to your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see the flash before the sound waves reach your ears. This creates a delay between what you see and what you hear.

There are currently no space shuttles in operation, as the Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011. However, various spacecraft like the SpaceX Dragon and NASA's Orion are conducting missions to the International Space Station.

As far as we know Andy Thomas - the Australian astronaut - is still alive and kicking.

Some benefits of a space shuttle compared to earlier spacecraft include the ability to be reused for multiple missions, the capability to bring back larger payloads to Earth, and the ability to deploy and retrieve satellites in orbit. Additionally, the space shuttle allowed for longer duration missions in space.

The cost for a shuttle mission can vary significantly depending on the specific requirements and complexities of the mission. On average, the cost of a space shuttle mission was estimated to be around $450 million. However, with the retirement of the space shuttle program, new commercial solutions for space transportation have emerged, offering a wider range of pricing options.

Once in space, space shuttle orbiters use their Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) to turn the vehicle. OMS consists of several small rocket engines are used individually or in combination to turn the vehicle where needed. This works because of Newtons third law (every action has a equal and opposite reaction).

Those directions are called pitch (nose up, nose down), roll (wingtip up, wingtip down), and yaw (nose left, nose right)
