How does a stellite get into space?
Currently any satellite must be launched on a rocket to reach space, though ideas for non-rocket launch exist.
How is a satellite placed in orbit and why it retains its position in space?
This can vary depending on the function of the satellite. In general, the satellite is launched by unmanned rockets or from the space shuttle payload bay at the correct altitude. After the satellite is released from the launch vehicle, the speed of a satellite is adjusted so that the rate at which it is being pulled back toward the earth is the same as the rate at which the earth is turning underneath it. So it is continually falling but not hitting the earth. This is what is also happening to the space shuttle when in earth orbit and the ISS. Satellites in geostationary orbit - where they appear to remain over a single point on the earth - must have a circular orbit for this to occur. That is why they are placed over the equator. Any other orbit is elliptical in shape. The problem that arises is that the earth is not perfectly round, even at the equator, and so the orbit of geostationary satellites must be adjusted every two weeks to compensate for this. The engines are remotely fired for the correct amount of time. When the fuel runs out, this can no longer be done. Orbital mechanics is a complex and detailed concept to understand. See some of the Web Links to the left.
How does the number of satellites of a planet affect the planet's mass?
There's no reason to expect that the number of a planet's satellites ... natural or artificial ... should have any effecton the planet's mass.Wait ... I take that back. If people on earth launch an artificial satellite having mass of 1,000 kilograms,then as long as that satellite remains in orbit, the mass of the earth is reduced by 1,000 kilograms. Butthe loss is reclaimed as soon as the artificial satellite leaves orbit, even if it's incinerated in the atmosphereupon re-entry.A natural satellite has no effect on a planet's mass, so long as it doesn't fall in on the planet.
What happens when artificial satellites fall back to earth?
A satellite in orbit around the Earth does not fall into the Earth because the force of Gravity between the satellite and Earth is exactly balanced by the centripetal reaction force of the satellite constantly changing direction. Think of driving in a car in a straight line. Now, think about turning right. You will be pulled towards the left. Well, actually, you are going in a straight line and the car is moving to the right. That causes you to drift towards the left. You encounter the door, and now you are going to the right as well. The door is pushing on you towards the right, and you are pushing towards the left against the door. The force pushing you towards the right is sort of like Gravity, while the force you are pushing on the door to the left is your centripetal reaction force. Since you are going in a constant speed circle, these two forces are balanced. Its the same type of thing as a satellite.
What are the Satellite or robots in Jupiter?
In 2016, the spinning, solar-powered Juno spacecraft will reach Jupiter and enter into a highly elliptical polar orbit that skims only 5000 kilometers above the planet's atmosphere. Building on the results of previous missions, Juno will provide new information to help us determine how, when and where this giant planet formed
How to launch satellite into orbit?
A satellite can be launched into orbit simply by launching it out of the Earth's atmosphere. To do so, the object will need to reach escape velocity, calculated by the formula v = sqrt(2GM/r), where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, and r is the distance from the center of the earth.
How long does it take the space shuttle to reach outer space from launch?
It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. How is that for speed? Once in space, the space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet! That fast rate of speed along with Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
How much time does it take for the space shuttle to reach orbit from launching?
depends where you launch from and where you go
How does a stellite get into space?

How long does it take a signal to reach a satellite in low Earth orbit?
From Earth to an orbiting satellite it takes approximately 200 to 299million M/S or slightly slower than the speed oflight. This varies on weather and atmospheric conditions. The signal is significantly faster, or closer to the speed of light (299792458 M/S), in the Vacuum of Outer Space.
What is a rocket faring?
It is a protective shell covering the payload during launch. It is generally jettisoned in flight. Several satellite launches have failed due to the fairing not separating from the rocket thus not allowing the rocket to reach orbit due to the increased weight and lower velocity generated by the engines with the added mass.
How long will it take a rocket to get into outer space from the earth surface?
The space shuttle takes 8 minutes to reach orbit.
What animal was the first to reach outer space?
There hasn't been any animals launched into outer space.The first animal to reach space is laika the dog, but that was in close earth orbit. Laika died during the mission but she is famous.
What was the name of the satellite that was the first satellite to orbit earth and the craft circled earth every 95 minutes at almost 2000 miles per hour until three months later it fell from the sky?
Sputnik was the first satellite to orbit the Earth. It was Russian and transmitted a radio signal. It is possible that a earlier satellite could be in orbit, without any communications this would be the same as a cannon shell etc. So long as an object can reach orbit it will constantly drop towards the planet and because the planet is round the object will rotate around being pulled by gravity
How many motors would a model rocket need to reach orbit?
The answer is more complex than your question implies. Mass to orbit, propellants, location of launch, and motor specifications would all be necessary to calculate motor quantities.
What launches spacecraft into space?
A large rocket, fueled by liquefied gases or solid propellant, is required to launch a satellite or spacecraft into space. The rocket's tremendous thrust accelerates the vehicle so that it can reach escape velocity (about 40,000 kph, or 25,000 mph). In a multi-stage design, the larger lower stages use up their fuel and then drop away, and the upper stages will further accelerate the smaller remaining mass. Only 3% to 10% of the vehicle's total launch weight will actually reach orbit. For interplanetary missions, a separate attached rocket will fire from a specific point in Earth orbit, carrying the probe away from Earth on a precise trajectory to its destination.
What was the date of the first space travel?
The first man made satellite to orbit the Earth was Sputnik 1, launched on 4th October 1957 by the Soviet Union Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet pilot, was the first man to reach orbit on 12th April 1961.
