Space Shuttle

She did not die!!!

Sunita Williams (born September 19, 1965) is a United States Naval officer and a NASA astronaut. She was assigned to the International Space Station as a member of Expedition 14 and then joined Expedition 15. She holds the record of the longest spaceflight (195 days) for female space travelers.

Jupiter is a gas giant with no solid surface, so no physical objects or structures have been found on Jupiter. However, the planet has been extensively studied by spacecraft and telescopes, leading to discoveries of its atmosphere, magnetosphere, and moons.

the space probe would helr us by first gathering information of mars so we can see what type of equipment will be needed.♥

hope this helps those who need it!

The space shuttle ride in Enchanted Kingdom utilizes the principles of mechanics and physics, specifically centripetal force and acceleration. The ride's movement creates a feeling of weightlessness and acceleration, mimicking the experience of space travel. Riders experience forces acting on their body as the shuttle moves along its circular path.

Liquid oxygen is typically cheaper than liquid hydrogen because oxygen is more readily available and easier to produce. Liquid hydrogen, on the other hand, requires more energy-intensive processes for production and storage, making it more expensive.

Space shuttles sometimes launch at night to take advantage of specific lighting conditions that reduce shadows and make it easier to monitor the rocket's ascent. Night launches also offer better visibility of the vehicle's flight path for tracking and safety purposes. Additionally, launching at night can help avoid conflicts with other air traffic or scheduled launches.

A space vehicle designed to orbit the Earth slowly should be put into a low orbit. Low Earth orbit allows for slower orbital speeds compared to higher orbits, making it more suitable for vehicles designed to move slowly. Additionally, low orbit provides easier access for communication, resupply, and potential crew rescue missions.

During re-entry, the space shuttle experiences increased atmospheric drag which slows it down, causing it to decelerate from supersonic speeds. This deceleration is what causes the shuttle to break the sound barrier on its return journey.

Sensors in the space shuttle can be repurposed for a factory worker by providing real-time detection of toxic chemicals in their work environment, enabling them to take immediate action to mitigate risks. This technology can help prevent exposure to harmful substances, safeguarding the health and well-being of the worker and ensuring a safer work environment.

First, if a mechanic in a jumbo jet in flight drops a tool, it will fall to the floor of the jet where he can easily pick it up. Nobody goes out of the aircraft while in flight to work on things. Even in the old B-36 bomber, in which the mechanic could work on the engines while in flight, he worked on them INSIDE the aircraft, not outside.

Second, when the International Space Station astronaut dropped her tool bag about a year ago, the toolbag continued to orbit the Earth. But the ISS isn't in a perfectly stable orbit; the Shuttle boosts it back up every year or so. Without this boost, the ISS will fall out of orbit and crash, as did the toolbag about 9 months after she dropped it.

We look for two things; high specific energy, and low mass. A heavy rocket can't fly, so the lighter the fuel, the better - but we also need to get a LOT of energy. Other less-important factors include our ability to handle the fuel safely, and the toxicity of the exhaust.

But "fuel" isn't enough; kerosene is an acceptable rocket fuel, but will not burn by itself. We also must supply an oxidizer. In a jet airplane in the air, we can use the oxygen in the air - but there is no air in space, and even if there were we couldn't capture enough of it. So, many rockets use liquid oxygen as the oxidizer.

Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31.

Liquid Nitrogen is used in a Space Shuttle to cool down the Space Shuttle Main Engine's (SSME) Main Combustion Chamber (MCC) because the temperatures experienced during lift exceed 3,315 degrees Celcius or 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit. If Liquid Nitrogen was not used the SSME would warp in shape and melt.

A solid fuel booster is like a huge firecracker. Teh Explosive is formed into a hollow cylinder open at one end. When it ignites, the interior surface of the cylinder burns. The gases that result rush out the open end, pushing the booster and anything attached in the other direction.

It technically doesn't fly. The shuttle's burn rocket fuel. The ignition of the rocket fuel makes it expand. The shuttle's rockets are a little bit like a glass shape, with one end open. In theory the explosion of the rocket fuel creates a force trying to push out in all directions at the same time. The force of the explosion going towards the bottom (closed part) of the glass pushes against that to try to move it out of the way. The part of the force going towards the open part of the glass doesn't push against anything attached to the shuttle so it doesn't affect whether the shuttle moves or not.

Let's pick some plausible numbers and work it out: Assume that you breathe 18 times per minute, you inhale 2 liters of air with each breath, and air is 18% oxygen. (18/minute) times (2 liters) times (18%) times (60 minutes/hour) times (24 hours/day) times (365 days/year) = 9,696 liters of pure oxygen, at standard atmospheric pressure. If you're not a metric person, picture this as roughly the size of 2,500 1-gallon milk-jugs. For extended space missions, it's unlikely that the total oxygen requirements for a crew of several people will all be carried aboard at launch. It'll be essential to re-cycle the used gasses on board the spacecraft.

What do you mean by spacecraft? Because if you are referring to unmanned probes that we have sent into space the farthest distance we have traveled is approximately 6.4 billion miles away from the sun with the Voyager spacecraft which was launched in 1977. To put that in perspective we are only about 93 million miles away. So that would be about 100x more distant. In fact the Voyager has already passed PLUTO and is now in the dust field that marks the edge of our galaxy called the heliosheath where the sun has very little effect anymore. In fact in the next decade the Voygager 1 could be completely out of our solar system and venturing into interstellar space.


Cheers!

Here's the deal about black holes: nothing that goes in can ever get out. So, if a space shuttle was sucked into a black hole, it would not be able to get out. The rarely happens because the people have screens and tools that help them find where the black holes are. Not even light can go through a black hole. Something no one knows is where black holes lead to.

There have been a total of 18 accidents resulting in fatalities during space missions. These accidents occurred on both crewed and uncrewed flights conducted by various space agencies around the world. Each accident serves as a reminder of the risks and challenges associated with space exploration.

In outer space, day and night may have little meaning, but keeping regular sleep and awake cycles is how the human body was designed. Submarines on Earth have the same issues as astronauts, so they divide their duties and shifts into portions not so dissimilar from yours and mine.

At the Shuttle's maximum speed of about 30,000 km/hr, it would take more than 16 years to reach Pluto. The "New Horizons" spacecraft was launched by NASA in 2006 and reached a new record velocity for spacecraft, more than 58,000 km/hr. It was further accelerated by a gravity assist from Jupiter in 2007. Even so, it will be June, 2015 before it reaches Pluto, a total mission time of 9 1/2 years.

The shortest manned space mission was the first Mercury suborbital flight by American astronaut Alan Shepard on May 5, 1961, which lasted 15 minutes and 22 seconds. The shortest unmanned space mission was Vanguard TV3, a US satellite mission that lasted less than 5 seconds before it exploded shortly after launch on December 6, 1957.

Liquid oxygen is used in space shuttles as an oxidizer for the spacecraft's fuel, typically liquid hydrogen. When mixed and ignited, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen create a powerful and efficient chemical reaction that generates the necessary thrust for the shuttle to break free of Earth's gravity and enter space. It is a highly efficient and reliable propellant choice for space missions.
