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.

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 type of force launches a rocket?

What is a rocket faring?

It is a protective shell covering the payload during launch. It is generally jettisoned in flight.
