Why is it dangerous for a spacecraft to collide with asteriods in space?
If a spaceship collided with a large asteroid (at high speed) in space, it would literally be like colliding with an atomic bomb, and the space ship would be obliterated. This would be due to absorbing a high amount of kinetic energy in both the spacecraft and the asteroid. Potentially if a spacecraft joined an orbit with an asteroid, it could match the speed of the object and might even be able to land on it. Fortunately, even in the "Asteroid Belt", the asteroids are very far apart, so the chances of colliding with a large asteroid would be low, and they should be able to be tracked and avoided. The other risk is a micrometeoroid, a much smaller particle... essentially "space dust" that is harder to detect, and could hit a spacecraft like a speeding bullet.
What did the spacecraft do?
The Clementine spacecraft did missions to test sensors and spacecraft components under extended exposure to the space environment. It also made scientific observations of the moon and the asteroid that is near Earth.

What 2 ways can gravity be dangerous?
Gravity can be dangerous when a person falls from a height, leading to injuries or fatalities. Gravity can also be dangerous in outer space by causing objects to collide with each other, posing a threat to spacecraft and satellites.
What happens if a space shuttle hits an asteroid?
If a space shuttle were to collide with an asteroid, it would likely experience significant damage or destruction. The force and speed of the impact would depend on the size and composition of the asteroid. The outcome could range from damaging the outer layers of the shuttle to completely shattering it, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the crew aboard.
Is an asteroid a burnt out star?
No. An asteroid is just a large chunk of rock. Stars are not rock, but balls of burning gas. Asteroids are formed when planets/moons/larger asteroids collide and parts of the object go flying off into space.
Does space junk interact with asteroids?
This would happen, space junk could collide with asteroids, but most space junk is close to the earth, away from the main asteroid belt. It would be more likely to collide with meteroids and other bits of space junk.
Are satellites dangerous?
Satellites themselves are not dangerous. They are placed in orbit around Earth to provide various services like communication, weather monitoring, and navigation. However, if a satellite were to malfunction or collide with another object in space, it could potentially create debris that poses a hazard to other satellites and spacecraft.
What space craft studied mercury?
No, spacecraft till now has made it to mercury as it wasn't allowed and was dangerous to life.
Why do asteroids have asteroid craters in them?
They have crater's in them because they collide with other, smaller asteroids or space debris on it's orbit and, because it was the bigger one of the two, comes away in tact with a scar (the crater).
What spaceship was launched in 1972?
Apollo 17 was launched, from the Kennedy Space Center
