Why are weather conditions important for the landing and take off of the space shuttle when it is in high winds and cold conditions in space?

Weather Conditions and the Space Shuttle Although speeds are different, it has similar requirements to an airplane, when landing. And these conditions need to be right , otherwise the SS could not be controlled to be aligned longitudinally with the runway and wings level with the ground. Remember the difference in density between the space (where the SS orbits at high speeds) and the earth.

Keep in mind that there is no wind in space as there is no air. The cold weather that helped to cause the Challenger explosion related to the solid rocket boosters which are jettisoned before reaching space. Also, the orbiter approaches the landing strip much as a glider does, not using its engines, and so wind, visibility and the landing strip surface are extremely important.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
