What else can I help you with?
What is a reuseable vehicle that goes into orbit like a rocket and then glides back to earth like an airplane?
rocket
What is a reusable vehicel that goes into orbit like a rocket and then glides back to Earth like an airplane?
I would call that a Space Shuttle.
What is a glider airplane?
an airplane with no engine, it's carried up by a tow plane, released and glides back to earth
How do space ships get back without any fuel as they have used it up in space?
The Space Shuttle has enough residual fuel on board to fire it's main engines just long enoughto orient to the correct position and move out of orbit. From that point on, gravity takes over, and the shuttle glides all the way to the ground - one it leaves orbit, no engine power is used at all.
Whats shuttle run?
A trip from Earth to some orbit in space, and back to Earth.
Find out the forces keep a satillite in its orbit going around the earth?
the earth's gravitational pull is just strong enought to keep it in orbit, but not strong enought, at that distance, to pull it back to earth
How many times did Russian astronaut Yuri A. Gagarin orbit the earth?
Gagarin made one orbit of the earth in 108 minutes before coming back home.
How much do stair glides cost?
Stair glides can cost anywhere from $70 to 150 and are very useful for carrying heavy objects. This will save your back a lot of future trouble. Stair glides are thin and light weight for ease of use and compact storage.
Is it true that an object launched into space must circle the earth as the moon does?
Not true. An object can fall back to earth, orbit (circle) the earth, or- if moving fast enough, leave the orbit of the earth and go elsewhere. We have sent probes to other planets- they are not circling the earth.
What does a orbiter in a space rocket do?
it lets you orbit around space and go back to earth safely
How does a space shuttle leave space?
Easy the shuttle that is currently in orbit is going about 25,405 feet per second (17,322 statute miles per hour). In order to get back to Earth the shuttle will fire a In order to return to earth, the shuttle fires its Orbital Manuevering Engines (OMS) in the direction opposite to its orbit, also known as a "de-orbit burn" . It only slows down by about 200 m.p.h. in order to begin "falling" back to earth.
How do orbiting satellites stay up in orbit?
Satellites stay in orbit due to a balance between their forward motion, which keeps them moving forward, and the gravitational pull of the Earth, which pulls them inward. This balance creates a circular path around the Earth called an orbit. If a satellite were to lose its forward motion or if the gravitational pull were to increase, it would fall back to Earth.
