Space Shuttle

The typical igniter is a very thin piece of wire with a blob of pyrogen on the centre.

Rockets can be launched from just about anywhere. But if the objective is to put something into orbit, or send it further out from earth, then the closer to the equator the launch is, the better. Equatorial launches "add" the "speed" of the earth's rotation to the equation, and this allows less fuel for the same payload, or more payload for the same fuel as would be used farther toward the poles. In the United States, NASA launches its rockets from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

A shuttle is not in play when:

1. It strikes the net and remains attached there or suspended on top.

2. It strikes the net or post and starts to fall towards the surface of the court

on the striker's side of the net.

3. It hits the surface of the court.

4. When a 'fault' or 'let' has occured.

She travelled on the space shuttle Endeavour.

The maximum acceleration that was experienced during normal shuttle liftoff was about 3g. During reentry, astronauts experienced approximately 1.5g.

None, the space shuttle had not been designed until after we quit going to the moon.

Challenger was destroyed during takeoff on STS-51-L. (January 28, 1986)

The five shuttles that were launched into orbit were Columbia, Challenger, Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavour. They are also known by their Orbital Vehicle Designations. Challenger was OV-099, Columbia was OV-102, Discovery is OV-103, Atlantis is OV-104, and Endeavour is OV-105.

There was a fifth shuttle called Enterprise (OV-101), which was never launched, nor was flight-ready. It was used for aerodynamics testing early in the program.

You can see You can see Atlantis at the Kennedy Space Visitor Complex in Florida; Discovery is at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia; Enterprise is housed at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum in New York; and Endeavour makes her home at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, California.

Challenger was destroyed on January 28 during liftoff, along with her crew, and Columbia was destroyed during reentry on February 1, 2003, along with her crew.

Sputnik 1, launched at 4 October 1957.

Temperatures can be very high endangering the spacecraft and the astronauts. Therefore, temperatures needed to be constantly monitored.

When a space shuttle reenters the atmosphere, it experiences extreme heat due to friction with air molecules, reaching temperatures of up to 3,000°F (1,650°C). The shuttle's thermal protection system, including heat-resistant tiles, protects it from incineration. As it descends, it slows down significantly, deploying parachutes to aid in landing. The entire process requires precise control to ensure a safe landing.

Yes, 2 shuttles were destroyed and there were other minor incidents as well.

A space shuttle is constructed from a variety of materials designed to withstand the harsh conditions of space travel. Key materials include aluminum alloys for the airframe, reinforced carbon-carbon for the leading edges of the wings, and high-temperature ceramic tiles for thermal protection during re-entry. Additionally, composite materials are used for some structural components to reduce weight. These materials together ensure the shuttle's structural integrity, thermal protection, and overall performance during missions.

Akatsuki, and Juno

I'm not sure there was a first person, but I think the first flight to have a slinky in space was Space Shuttle flight 51-D launched in 1985 with a crew of David Griggs, Charles Walker, Karol J. Bobko, Donald E. Williams, Rhea Seddon & Jeffrey Hoffman. It was a slinky toy called a slinky mouse

its really both, it goes up like a rocket and comes down like a plane

Is the question about the space shuttle, or the game of shuttle-cock? More information is needed.

The Saturn V used in the Apollo missions.

"space shuttle" usually is not capitalized unless you're talking about "The Space Shuttle". Endeavour should always be capitalized because it is the name of the orbiter, and names should always be capitalized.

Spacecraft get red hot from friction with the atmosphere. At normal speeds this friction would not be of consequence but spacecraft enter at about 17, 000 miles per hour which causes heat to buildup from the friction of air faster than it can be dissipated. The fastest fighter aircraft only go about 2000 miles per hour and they use special alloys to withstand the heat.

Empty weight 78,000 kg

The Solid Rocket Booster drops off after it has been used completely, to reduce unneeded weight, and so it may be used again.
