Could a space ship go underwater?

Spaceships are vacuum sealed, which means they must be 100\% airtight. This is already an essential feature of a submarine, which means that it could certainly survive in a liquid environment without leaking. However, it likely will not be able to go very far underwater.

Can a submarine survive in space?

It could withstand the vacuum of space just fine and contain the standard 14.7 psi internal pressure. Without cold water flowing around it, it would need some kind of massive radiator to exhaust heat from the reactor. Without water to convert into oxygen, it would need a new way to supply oxygen to the crew.

How much pressure can a space ship take?

The highest external pressure the rocket encounters during its flight is before takeoff, at sea level, at 1 bar (100 kPa). At max-Q, dynamic pressure is in the region of 30 kPa at an altitude of 10 km, where air pressure is ~25 kPa, so total pressure is 55 kPa.

Can Rockets work underwater?

More videos on YouTube The rocket engine can fire underwater because it makes its own oxygen. The precise mixture of chemicals means that a rocket engine will burn exactly the same anywhere, even in the vacuum of space.

Are submarines like spaceships?

Building submarines is second to space industry. This might look like a spacecraft, but it is actually the stern of a Blekinge-class submarine that is under construction. All this has been done with the goal of being able to build a vessel that in terms of complexity and function, is the equal of a spacecraft.

What would happen if there was a hole in a spaceship?

If a hole were made in the hull during the mission and opened the astronaut’s pressurized living space to the vacuum outside, the air would rush out and the pressure would drop inside the shuttle cabin. Little things like water droplets and crumbs and dust particles will go out with the air.

Could you launch a rocket from the ocean?

The sea-based launch system means the rockets can be fired from the optimal position on Earth’s surface, considerably increasing payload capacity and reducing launch costs compared to land-based systems.

Are submarines still built?

Since its completion in 1986, submarines at Barrow are constructed inside the Devonshire Dock Hall (DDH). Construction of the final Astute-class began in May 2018 and all seven Astute boats are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.

Would a spaceship be able to survive underwater?

But if your spaceship is built to enter the atmosphere, then it will always be able to survive underwater to at least some degree. Exactly how deep would need more detailed knowledge of the specs your hypothetical spaceship was built to, but no-one should be surprised at it being perfectly happy underwater.

How do submarines stay underwater so long?

The reason that a submarine can stay underwater so long is that it produces its own air from the water around it. It pulls the water in, splits it into Hydrogen and Oxygen with Electrolysis, and vents the Hydrogen back into the ocean.

What are the characteristics of a space ship that withstands water?

Maneuverability. Long answer: As we mentioned before, water is very dense. Spaceships generally operate in a vacuum, so water/air resistance is not a problem for them. Unfortunately, water is much more constrictive than air/vacuum conditions, so streamlining your spaceship becomes essential when it goes underwater.

Are there any ships in space without power freezing?

Yes, both of the clips there are ships without power freezing, but they are space ships with space insulation and the submarine is designed to combat the constant ambient ocean temperatures. Other than that, I would think the layers of metal would protect from most radiation for the duration that they are in space.
