If you plot the distance that a space shuttle in orbit travels on the graph and it travels at a speed of 17580 miles per hour what is the slope of the graph?
17580
How many syllables are in the word shuttle?
The word shuttle has two syllables. (Shut-tle)
What is the scientific notation for the space shuttle?
The velocity of a space shuttle is 8 x 10^3 meters/seconds. Does that help?
How many miles can the space shuttle travel per hour?
It depends on the altitude of the orbit it is in. When the shuttle visits the ISS it is travelling at approximately 17,000 MPH. Incidentally the shuttle is due to make its last flight later this year (2010)
Why do the cargo bay doors have to be opened when the shuttle is in orbit?
To allow cooling of the Shuttle: The interior side of the two cargo bay doors are covered with radiators. Those radiators are connected to the overall cooling system of the Shuttle. These radiators have to be exposed to space (i.e. the doors have to be opened) to reject their heat and avoid overheating of the Shuttle subsystems. This is why the cargo bay doors are opened as soon as the Shuttle reaches its orbit, and are closed only shortly before re-entry.
What is a good pro shuttle time?
A good time in the professional shuttle in the NFL Combine is about 4.2 seconds. The distance is over and back over a distance of 20 yards.
What was the first space shuttle ever built?
The first space shuttle ever built was the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was constructed as a prototype and test vehicle and never flew into space. Enterprise was used for approach and landing tests before the operational shuttle flights began with Columbia.
Which measurement best represents the distance of the orbiting space shuttle from Earth?
300 Kilometers
When was the space shuttle 'Discovery' made?
The space shuttle Discovery was made in the 1970s, with its construction starting in 1979. It was the third of the five space shuttles built by NASA as part of the Space Shuttle Program. Discovery had its first flight in 1984.
How much time will it take space shuttle to reach the nearest star from?
A space shuttle traveling at its maximum speed of about 17,600 miles per hour would take over 73,000 years to reach the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) located about 4.24 light years away from Earth. This journey is far beyond the capabilities of current space travel technology.
What is the total round trip distance traveled by space shuttle to the International Space Station?
yard
How far is the shuttle from earth when in orbit?
The average distance of a space shuttle in low Earth orbit is about 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the Earth's surface.
What materials did Goddard use to make the space shuttle?
Robert Goddard did not work on the space shuttle program. The space shuttle was developed by NASA and a team of engineers. It was mainly constructed using aluminum alloys for the airframe, thermal protection tiles for re-entry heating, and various other materials for different components based on their specific functions.
Compare to the distance to the moon how far away is the space shuttle when in space from the earth?
The distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) on average. When in space, the space shuttle typically orbits Earth at an altitude between 200 to 400 miles (320 to 640 kilometers), so it is much closer to Earth compared to the Moon.
When was the first space shuttles built?
Enterprise was the first shuttle built, although it was not constructed to enter space but as a test vehicle. Construction began in 1974, and Enterprise was completed in 1976. The first completely space-worthy shuttle, Columbia, was constructed between 1975 and 1979.Actually, The first space shuttle/rocket was built/discovered in the 1300s by the Chinese. But they ended up using them as Chinese Fireworks instead. That idea was taken, tweaked a little and created the rockets/space shuttles that we have today. The Chinese made gunpowder on accident, but it came into use with these new Fireworks.
Where does the crawler transporter go during a space shuttle launch?
The crawler transporter takes the space shuttle from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad, which is usually a distance of about 3 to 4 miles. It moves very slowly to ensure a smooth and controlled journey for the shuttle. Once the shuttle is at the launch pad, the crawler transporter moves to a safe distance away from the launch site.
Is a space shuttle completely reusable?
No, the Space Shuttle was not completely reusable. The orbiter and solid rocket boosters were reusable, but the external fuel tank was not. Each mission required a new external tank to be constructed.
