Yes, but it has to be travelling at the MOON'S orbital velocity, which is quite a bit more than that needed for low earth or even geosynchronous orbit.
The faster one goes, the higher the orbit.

The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit around earth is called?
Orbital velocity, or Close orbital velocity.
What speed does a rocket have to reach to get into space?
(Escape velocity) at least 7 miles ber second. Close-Orbital velocity is about 5 miles per second.
Is orbital velocity the velocity a rocket must reach to fly off into space?
No.Orbital Velocity is the velocity required by a body to achieve a circular orbit around its primary.Escape velocity is the minimum velocity needed to escape a gravitational field
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit in space is?
The velocity of rocket must reach 16x than the gravitational force of Earth to establish an orbit in space.
What may happen to a rocket which rises from the earth never attains escape velocity?
A rocket that doesn't reach "escape velocity" will be overcome by gravity and will be pulled back down to Earth. Also, rockets which go into orbit have not reached escape velocity. Escape velocity is what is needed to completely leave earth's gravity well.

When does a landing rocket reach terminal velocity?
It may unless it has an attached parachute
If a rocket left Pluto traveling 1000 mph how long would it take to reach the Sun?
450 years.
What is the difference between escape velocity and orbital velocity?
Escape velocity is the velocity that an object needs in order to reach infinite distance, wherein the force will equal to zero. Orbital velocity is the velocity of an object so it can stay in orbit.

If stand on equator of Mars and fire a rocket from there which planet shall the rocket hit the quickest?
The simple answer is that unless the rocket achieves escape velocity, the planet it hits would be Mars. Due to the rotation of the planets, if it did reach escape velocity, it would depend on the position of the planets and the path into space it took.
What must be done to put a rocket into space outside of an orbit of the earth?
It has to reach escape velocity which on Earth is 11.2 Km per second
Why the space rockets are generally launched from the west to east?
Since, the earth revolves from west to east so when the rocket is launched from west to east the relative velocity of rocket becomes velocity of rocket + velocity of earth. Thus, velocity of rocket increases which helps ti to rise without much consumption of fuel.
What is takeoff velocity of rocket?
Exactly the same way it takes off from the earth. Gravity on the moon is so relativistically low that the propulsion required to reach an escape velocity is very very low compared to the earth.
