The Space Shuttle Challenger was named after the H.M.S. Challenger, a 19th Century British Naval ship that was later converted into a marine research vessel. The Challenger Expedition was a major contributor to modern Oceanography.

A space shuttle reentering Earth's atmosphere travels at speeds around 17,500 miles per hour. This high speed generates intense heat due to friction with the air, causing the iconic glowing plasma trail behind the shuttle.

The United States developed the first reusable space vehicle, the Space Shuttle, in the 1980s. It was a revolutionary spacecraft that could carry astronauts and cargo into space and return to Earth to be used again for future missions.

Mae Jemison worked as a NASA astronaut and was the first African American woman to travel into space. She flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.

If you take newton's second law this sounds very easy.

"An object in motion stays in motion until an outside force acts upon it"

Since ther are now outside forces in a vacuum besides the space shuttle's engines, once you get the ship going, it keeps going until you slow it down yourself.

Since there are no air molecules to push against, you cannon use turbines or blades, you have to throw material you have away from you to change direction or speed, this is generally compressed gas or ignited rocket fuel, but in sketchy moments, an astronaut has been known to throw tools away so it pushes them to where they need to be.

There are many objects in space that are no longer used. For example, there are all kinds of machinery left on the Moon by astronauts. In addition there are a great number of artificial satellites still orbiting the Earth that are no longer operational.

Yes, water does take up space. It has mass and volume, which means it occupies a certain amount of space depending on the quantity of water present.

Discovery

Discovery was launched two years before the Challenger blew up.

The replacement was "Endeavour"

A space shuttle travels at an average speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) while in orbit around the Earth. This high speed is essential to balance the force of gravity and maintain a stable orbit.

The first space shuttle, known as the Space Shuttle Columbia, was designed by NASA in collaboration with various contractors including North American Rockwell and Boeing. Robert Crippen and John Young were the pilots of the first mission, STS-1, which launched on April 12, 1981.

The first human-made spacecraft, Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. It was the world's first artificial satellite to be put into orbit around Earth, marking the beginning of the space age.

It should, it's air tight. An Aircraft carrier floats and it's hugh. Any rocket scientists out there?

The space shuttle weighed approximately 165,000 pounds (74,800 kg) empty and 240,000 pounds (109,000 kg) when fully fueled for launch.

Many inventions have been made due to space travel, including memory foam, cordless tools, and satellite television. The need for lightweight, durable materials and innovative technologies to withstand the challenges of space has led to advancements in various industries on Earth.

It depends on where the space suit is being worn to. The space suits that have been made in the past have taken millions of dollars to build. Even closer to an exact answer, probably about 3 million.

During the launch of Columbia sixteen days before the disaster, a 2 1/2 pound and 20 inch piece of foam from the external fuel tank fell and hit the orbiter on the leading edge of the left wing. It caused a hole in the carbon-carbon protective tiles designed to prevent re-entry heat damaging the shuttle. Falling foam is not an unusual occurrence during launches. However, this piece was larger and struck the orbiter exactly at one of the critical points which heat the most during entry interface with the atmosphere. There was concern at the time from video footage of the launch that the orbiter had been struck, but Commander Rick Husband was assured by officials that it posed no danger.

There have been over 100 space flights since the Challenger tragedy in 1986, including missions to the International Space Station, commercial flights, and scientific research missions. These missions have marked significant advancements in space exploration and technology.

The Challenger Space Shuttle exploded 73 seconds after launch on January 28, 1986, killing all 7 brave astronauts on board, including Christa McAuliffe, who was chosen from 11,000 applicants to be the first teacher in space.

Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavor

Discovery has not exploded and is still in active service. The shuttle Challenger disintegrated on January 28 1986, and Colombia on February 1 2003.

The American space shuttles were named: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.

The type of rocket that launced Apollo 11 into space is the same type of rocket that was used for all Apollo launchings. The Saturn V (five) multistage rocket was used.
