How do space shuttle maneuver in space?

Answer 1

dozens of small thruster rocket engines located in the nose and tail. plus two big orbital manuevering engines in the tail.
Using inertia , they use small bursts of rockets and "coast" until they reach position, then reverse thrust to stop the movement.

Answer 2

There are several outlets on the shuttle for gas (I believe it is benzine). When the gas is released, it pushes that part of the shuttle back. Take a look at the nose of the shuttle sometime - you will see the nozzles near the nose and I believe there are some near the tail as well.

Answer 3

Maneuvering thrusters located at the rear and nose of the shuttle allow it to operate fully on all three axis of rotation.

Answer 4

The space shuttle has some gas vents at strategic places. So when the astronauts eject some gas from one of those vents it pushes the shutlle in the opposite direction.

ie: if the vent at the left of the nose ejects some gas, the nose will go toward the right, but the rear part stays in place.

Answer 5

Teeny rockets mounted so as to control the rotation about the 3 major axes. Their firing is controlled by computer to get the Shuttle aligned just the way it should be for whatever purpose.

Answer 6

maneuvering jets at strategic point around the shuttle (noes, tail) A small burst can raise or lower the nose, swing it around, whatever you need it to do

Answer 7

With the OMS (Orbital Maneuvering System), which is small rocket engines, not the big main engines.

Answer 8

RCS - Rocket Control System (?). Small rocket thrusters at the nose, tail, and wings to provide pitch, roll, and yaw, thrust, and retrothrust.

Answer 9

For a mini demo, put a pencil on your desk and push it at one end. It's a similar concept.

Answer 10

WITH RETRO-ROCKETS ---SMALL THRUSTERS THAT CHANGE THE ORIENTATION OF THE SHUTTLE
