No.
Orbital Velocity is the velocity required by a body to achieve a circular orbit around its primary.
Escape velocity is the minimum velocity needed to escape a gravitational field

What speed does a rocket have to reach to get into space?
(Escape velocity) at least 7 miles ber second. Close-Orbital velocity is about 5 miles per second.
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit in space is?
The velocity of rocket must reach 16x than the gravitational force of Earth to establish an orbit in space.
Why must a spacecraft reach escape velocity to be able to go to space?
A rocket needs to travel at 7 miles-per-second or about 25,000-miles-per-hour to leave the pull of earth's gravitational force, and reach outer space. This speed is known as escape velocity.
Where did the first rocket in space go?
The first rocket to reach "space" was a German V-2 (the A4 rocket weapon) launched during World War II. According to test records, the first rocket to reach "space" was likely the fourth test launch on October 3, 1942.
Stages of a rocket going into space?
The stages of a rocket going into space: The first stage of a rocket is used to acquire the acceleration of a rocket. When the fuel of the first stage is exhausted ,it detaches from the rockets and drops off. The velocity at this stage becomes the initial velocity of the second stage .Now the second stage is ignited ,the rocket gains acceleration and it's velocity foes on increasing . The removal of the surplus mass contained in the first stage helps in attaining the higher velocity .When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted ,it too detached from the rocket .Finally at the third stage , the rocket starts off with the required velocity.

The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit in space is?
The velocity of rocket must reach 16x than the gravitational force of Earth to establish an orbit in space.
Max speed of the American rocket that takes the shuttle into space?
All payloads that goes into space have to be accelerated to 14,500 miles per hour to achieve orbital orbital velocity.
What must be done to put a rocket into space outside of an orbit of the earth?
It has to reach escape velocity which on Earth is 11.2 Km per second
What is the velocity a rocket needs to reeach to orbit in space called?
Escape velocity.
What is the difference distance wise between low orbital spaceflight and sub orbital spaceflight?
Sub-orbital space flight reaches space while low orbital spaceflight attain sufficient velocity to go to space.
If stand on equator of Mars and fire a rocket from there which planet shall the rocket hit the quickest?
The simple answer is that unless the rocket achieves escape velocity, the planet it hits would be Mars. Due to the rotation of the planets, if it did reach escape velocity, it would depend on the position of the planets and the path into space it took.
What does the engine do on a space rocket?
Provide thrust ... which changes velocity.
Why must a spacecraft reach escape velocity to be able to go to space?
A rocket needs to travel at 7 miles-per-second or about 25,000-miles-per-hour to leave the pull of earth's gravitational force, and reach outer space. This speed is known as escape velocity.
What is needed to launch anything into space?
Energy enough to accelerate the object to an orbital velocity.
When did professor Joseph godard invent the first rocket to reach space?
Goddard did not create a rocket that went into space. He created the first liquid fuel rocket which was which lead to space rockets and for this is known as the father of modern rocketry. The first rocket to reach space was the V2 rocket made by the Germans during World War 2 as a weapon to deliver bombs.
