What is a launch of a spacecraft?
A spacecraft launch refers to the process of sending a spacecraft into space from Earth. It involves the ignition of the rocket engines to propel the spacecraft out of Earth's atmosphere and into its designated orbit. Launches can be conducted by government space agencies or private companies.
Can a Apollo spacecraft go to space?
The did launch them into space many times.
What spacecraft that carry instrument that travel into outer space?
a space craft
How does Thermal protection systems work?
The thermal protection system provides a shield from aerodynamic heating in the outer space. The system works through a series of materials that are equipped in the spacecraft that should withstand extreme temperature conditions from the launch and in outer space.
What is a reusable spacecraft called?
A reusable spacecraft is typically called a space shuttle or a reusable launch vehicle. These spacecraft are designed to be launched into space multiple times, reducing the cost of space missions.
What is the difference between a spaceship and a rocket?
A spaceship is a vehicle designed for travel in outer space, often equipped to carry humans or cargo, while a rocket is a propulsion system that provides the thrust needed to launch a spacecraft into space. Rockets can be used independently or as part of a spacecraft, serving as the means of escape from Earth's gravity. Essentially, the rocket is the engine, and the spaceship is the vehicle that often incorporates the rocket for space travel.
Did you think about the amount of fuel needed to send a spacecraft to other planets?
Yes, I've already thought about that. A huge amount of fuel is necessary only when the spacecraft is crossing the atmosphere. Once in outer space, no fuel is needed.
How long does it take to get outer space?
It takes about 8-9 minutes for a spacecraft to reach outer space after launch. This is known as the Kármán line, which marks the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space at an altitude of 100 km (62 miles).
What is the name of spacecraft gone into outer space?
voyager1and2
The speed need to launch a spacecraftto outerspace?
The speed needed to launch a spacecraft into outer space depends on various factors such as the size of the spacecraft, the distance it needs to travel, and the gravitational pull of the Earth. Typically, spacecraft need to reach a speed of around 25,000 miles per hour (40,234 kilometers per hour) to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and enter into orbit or travel to other planets.
Why are rocket engines used to launch a spacecraft?
To give the space craft a boost
The definition of launch vehicle best fits what science term?
The definition of a launch vehicle best fits the science term "rocket." Rockets are vehicles that are designed to propel spacecraft into outer space by expelling exhaust gases at high speeds.
