How can the landing speed of a space shuttle be calculated?
What about the atmospheric conditions?
Atmospheric conditions such as air density and wind can have a significant impact on the landing speed of a space shuttle. For example, if the air is thin, or if there is a strong headwind, the shuttle will need to maintain a higher speed to stay aloft. This can make the landing speed faster than if the conditions were more favorable.
