The G force on a Space Shuttle at takeoff is 3G. This lasts until the SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters) quit.
DUDE, your so wrong! Try 6 + More G forces... On a realistic average. Just ask NASA.
6+G would get the shuttle going way too fast too low, and it would rip apart with air flow pressure. first answer is right, if actually a slight over estimate. one of those Gs is actually 1G of lovely earthly gravity too. it barely accelerates at 2G. (just ask NASA) or anyone who's sustained 6Gs for two minutes.

What state does the Space Shuttle usually take off from?
The Space Shuttle usually took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Where did the space shuttle Challenger take off?
The space shuttle Challenger took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
What are the two forces acting when a space shuttles take off?
The two forces acting on a space shuttle during take off and throughout its ascent through the atmosphere are Thrust and Weight. Moreover, there is also a drag force in the direction of the weight, i.e., opposite to the motion of the space shuttle. Hope that's what you were looking for. :)
How does the space shuttle land and take off?
The space shuttle lands on a runway like an airplane, using its descent speed and special tiles on its underbelly to withstand the heat of reentry. To take off, the space shuttle is propelled by its main engines and solid rocket boosters, utilizing the force generated to break free from Earth's gravity and travel into space.
Where does the space shuttle take off from?
The Space Shuttle used to take off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. However, the Space Shuttle program ended in 2011. Rocket launches now take place from various locations around the world, depending on the spacecraft and mission.
