How do lunar landers stay on the moon?
because of the gravity
Did Michael Collins just stay in the rocket whilst Edwin Aldrin and Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon?
The rocket, called the 'command module', that was carrying the three astronauts to the moon was also carrying a 'lunar module' which was the craft that was to land on the moon. Once the command module was orbiting the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin entered the lunar module, separated it from the command module, and flew down to the moon while Collins piloted the command module around the moon. When it was time to leave the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin blasted off in the lunar module and flew to meet Collins in the command module where they hooked back up. Armstrong and Aldrin then left the lunar module and entered the command module. The lunar module was then jettisoned from the command module, to eventually crash into the moon, and the three made their way back to Earth in the command module.
How did lunar rover stay on the moon with out gravity?
The moon most certainly does have gravity. It is weaker than the gravity on Earth, but still very noticeable.
Did the Eagle stay in lunar orbit after it was jettisoned?
For a period of time it stayed in lunar orbit, however, that orbit eventually decayed and the ascent stage crashed onto the moon.
What did lunar missions discover about the moon?
They found that the moon is a hostile place to stay , with no water at all. But now they say there is water under the moons surface.
Why did the Apollo space craft command and service modules stay and orbit around he moon?
There was a remote chance that a lunar lander might not be able to take off from the surface. Staying in orbit ensured that at least one of the crew had a good chance of returning in the event of a disaster.
Was the moon landing real?
The moon landing was very real, for one simple reason 1. If you have a good enough telescope you can look at the moon and see on the surface Neil Armstrong's footprint, and since there is nothing to blow it away, it will stay there until a meteor smashes on it.
Do you have to wear sunglasses during a lunar eclipse?
No. During a lunar eclipse, you can safely stare directly at the moon continuously, for the entire several hours that the eclipse is in progress. And try to stay awake.
Where did nell Armstrong stay on the moon?
The astronauts walked and did the moon walk E.v.A then they returned to the lunar module after a while took of to join Michael Collins in the command module.
Why can't you stay in the moon for one week?
The moon has no air or water so people can not live on it or in it without taking an artificial environment with them. At present there are no artificial environments on or capable of going to and landing on the moon.
What do the Jewish calendars and Chinese calendars have in common?
They are both luni-solar calendars, based on the lunar months with leap-adjustments to stay in step with the solar year.
Why did the command and service modules stay in orbit around the moon?
The Lunar Module could not make the return trip to Earth and the CSM could not land on the moon. As such, the CSM stayed in orbit while the LM traveled to and from the lunar surface.
