Space Shuttle

Usually, they fall back here under the influence of gravity (assuming they haven't gone much farther than the moon's orbit). If they are lucky enough to get outside the earth's "gravity well" they rely on one of Newton's laws, and need to rely on fuel to push them back (or a really tricky gravity assist from a handy gravitational body). To get them back safely, we have to consider: whether they got outside the atmosphere and will they need heat shielding for the friction, how much do we have to slow them down to land on ground without much damage (or in water if they are waterproof), where do we want it to land (can we recover it when it lands), and many other considerations depending on payload and expendability.

two to seven people can stay in a space shuttle at one time. so not over 8 people. I researched this so you know it is right. I am in middle school. just to let you know.

If something is in orbit it's orbital speed is independent of its mass. Be it a gram or a tonne, it's speed depends only on its orbit; if it had a different speed it would be in a different orbit ( or none at all).

Its maiden flight was on April 4, 1983. Challenger exploded during launch on its tenth mission to space, on January 26, 1986.

Space Shuttle Challenger, on January 28, 1986, tragically broke apart 73 seconds after liftoff, leading to the loss of all seven crew members.

The space shuttle experiences temperatures of around 2,500 to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,370 to 1,650 degrees Celsius) during reentry into Earth's atmosphere due to the friction of the air. This extreme heat is caused by the compression of air molecules in front of the shuttle. It requires special materials like the thermal protection tiles to shield the shuttle and its occupants from this intense heat.

Yes, advancements in space technology have led to the development of more advanced and cost-effective spacecraft that will likely replace the space shuttle. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing reusable spacecraft that are faster and more efficient than the space shuttle.

It fly's through the air using the fire to push down on the earth and propel it self forward

Fuel and oxidizer are first injected into a nozzle ( first a converging section, then the throat, and finally diverging section), and a thrust proportional to the mass flow rate, exit velocity, exit pressure, and ambient pressure is exerted on the rocket. The rocket will generally have a inertial navigation system on board to acquire position and attitude data. This data will be used as input in a correctional system to keep the rocket on track. Many rockets are used to transport cargo to space, while some are used to carry weapons in their payload space.

In 2001 Dennis Tito became the first "Space Tourist".

Space is not a physical object that "got there" – it is a fundamental part of the fabric of the universe. In the Big Bang theory, space and time began expanding from a singularity, creating the vast expanse we now observe. The expansion of space-time continues to this day.

The first American to perform a space walk was Ed White in June 1965. He flew in the Gemini IV mission along with James McDivitt. White began his space walk while the spacecraft was over the Indian Ocean. He continued his walk over the Pacific Ocean.

Astronaut White died in the Apollo 1 fire in 1967. This fire occurred during a training session at the launch pad.

Parts of the Space Shuttle are manufactured at many locations around the United States by NASA contractors and subcontractors. For an overview of how a Space Shuttle is manufactured, assembled and prepared for flight visit the related link below.

Thrusters are small engines (propulsive devices) used to move a spacecraft small amounts. They are used to adjust the position of a spacecraft to keep it in the same orbit or on the same path, and to keep it pointing in a desired direction. The can also be used to accelerate space probes slowly over long periods.

The maximum speed of a space shuttle during launch is approximately 17,500 miles per hour, achieved during the ascent to low Earth orbit. Once in orbit, the shuttle travels at an average speed of around 17,500 to 18,000 miles per hour in order to remain in orbit around the Earth.

The NASA space shuttle Challenger was named after HMS Challenger, a British Naval vessel used for research in the 1870s that sailed the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

The space shuttle uses its payload bay to carry and deploy satellites into space. Once the shuttle reaches the desired orbit, the robotic arm or astronauts inside the shuttle release the satellite into space.

The space shuttle uses a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel for its main engines during the ascent phase to reach orbit.

The SRBs are jettisoned from the shuttle system at 2 minutes and an altitude of about 146,000 feet (44.5 km).

Satelites in space are used for examining the solar system.There are cameras in the satelites.The satelites can take pictures and we can observe what is in the solar system.Space probes are used for the same thing.Nasa puts space probes onto some planets and see what is on it. I Hope this helps :) no, a satellite is controlled from the earth to signal the satellite in space

The Space Shuttle usually took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The Space Shuttle Atlantis, the last of the space shuttles to be retired, began its last voyage on July 8, 2011. Once it landed safely on July 21, 2011, the Space Shuttle program was officially retired.

Space shuttles are no longer operational. However, NASA has shifted its focus to the Artemis program, with plans to return humans to the moon by 2024 and eventually go to Mars. You can check NASA's website or social media for information on upcoming launches and missions.

The first liquid-fueled rocket was launched by American engineer Robert H. Goddard on March 16, 1926 in Auburn, Massachusetts.

Columbia & Challenger had approx 32,000 silica tiles glued to them and as Discovery, Atlantis & Endeavor were being built, high temp resistant cloth were used to lighten the weight of the vehicles and to make replacing the thermal protection of the shuttle much easier. The last 3 shuttles had 20,000 to 22,000 tiles on them, with each tile being hand shaped with a saw, then cured in an oven and then hand glued to the the shuttle.
