How does a planets gravity change the path of a space probe?
A planet's gravity affects the trajectory of a space probe by pulling it towards the planet, causing the probe to alter its course. The probe's speed and direction can be influenced by the planet's gravity, leading to changes in its orbit or flight path. Scientists must account for the planet's gravitational pull when planning the probe's trajectory to ensure it reaches its intended destination.
How did Gravity Assist help the voyager space probe navigate the solar system?
By the gravity pull
What carries a space probe in space?
As space probe is carried into space using rockets and afterward can maneuver using thrusters, sometimes gaining speed using the gravity of a planet. Once a space probe has been set on the right trajectory it does not have to do much; there is no air resistance to slow it down and gravity from the sun and planets is already taken into account.
Why do engineers designing satellite and space probes need to understand gravity?
For the design of the probe an understanding of gravity is not required. However, to get the probe into space and into a stable orbit round a chosen body an understanding of gravity is required. Thus it is the launch vehicle design where an understanding of gravity is needed.
How does gravity help planes fly?
Then they don't go into space
What is the weight of a space probe on the surface of Mars?
The weight of a space probe on the surface of Mars would be less than on Earth due to Mars having lower gravity. Mars has about 38% of Earth's gravity, so a space probe that weighs 1000 lbs on Earth would only weigh about 380 lbs on the surface of Mars.
How does a space probe leave earth's gravity and travel to outer space and what does it pass through?
A space probe leaves Earth's gravity by achieving enough speed through a rocket launch to counteract the pull of gravity. As it travels through the atmosphere, it passes through different layers of air before reaching outer space where it encounters vacuum conditions.
What is space probe?
Space probe is a station.
A space probe may be carried by a rocket into outer space what keep the probe moving after the rocket no longer pushes it?
Once the rocket stops pushing the probe, it continues moving due to its inertia. In the vacuum of space, without any air resistance to slow it down, the probe will keep moving at a constant velocity until acted upon by another force, such as gravity from a celestial body or a thruster on the probe itself.

What would be the weight of a space probe on the surface of Jupiter?
The weight of a space probe on the surface of Jupiter would be significantly greater than its weight on Earth due to Jupiter's strong gravitational pull. Jupiter's gravity is about 24.79 m/s², which is roughly 2.5 times that of Earth's gravity. Therefore, to calculate the weight of the probe on Jupiter, you would multiply its mass by Jupiter's gravitational acceleration. For example, a 1,000 kg probe would weigh approximately 24,790 newtons on Jupiter.
