The launch vehicle upper stage usually stays in orbit. Because it's big and relatively light once all its propellant is gone its orbit will decay more quickly than the satellite, so it won't stay up as long. The Space Shuttle gets the external tank almost to orbit, then dumps it off and trims its orbit with the Orbital Maneuvering System.

It slowly decreases as the fuel is burned up until engines are turned off. Its weight will decrease as it climbs out of the gravitational field of Earth, but the only mass decrease will be due to used up fuel.

A short circuit in the oxygen tank of the service module caused a spark that lead to a explosion.

Normally, the rocket breaks off after the satellite has enough speed and/or is in orbit. The rocket is normally planned to fall into an ocean to avoid civilian casualties.

Why is there a body section on a rocket?

The main use of a body section of a rocket is most likely to store fuel. As you can see in rocket launches it detaches after the boosters are used up and only the main capsule remains. This is seen in starlit launches where the main satellite detaches and the body falls back to earth along with the detached boosters.

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 is satellite sent into space?

All satellites today get into orbit by riding on a rocket or by riding in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle. Several countries and businesses have rocket launch capabilities, and satellites as large as several tons make it safely into orbit on a regular basis. For most satellite launches, the scheduled launch rocket is aimed straight up at first. This gets the rocket through the thickest part of the atmosphere most quickly and best minimizes fuel consumption.
