Is the ICBM a rocket or missile?
An intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, is a long-range (greater than 5,500 km or 3,500 miles) ballistic missile typically designed for nuclear weapons delivery, that is, delivering one or more nuclear warheads.Source: Wikipedia.
What does a missiles look like?
I got this from:http://www.missilethreat.com/repository/imgLib/icbm%20comparison%20chart%20small%20labeled%20%20%20mda.jpg
Full form of ICBM?
ICBM = InterContinental Ballistic Missile
What are the five countries with highest number of ICBM's?
which countries have the most ICBM's
How was the sputnik launched?
Sputnik 1, 2 and 3 were all launched by the Sputnik rocket, a derivative of the R-7 Semyorka ICBM (NATO reporting name: SS-6 Sapwood).
What is a ICBM launch key?
An ICBM launch key is a physical or electronic device used to authorize the launch of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). It is typically part of a two-person control system where both individuals must input their keys to initiate the launch process, ensuring that it cannot be activated by a single person.
How Sputnik was sent outside the Earth?
It was launched into orbit by a soviet rocket called the R-7 Semyorka. This was originally designed to carry nuclear warheads, it was the first ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile).
What are ICBM's and what do they do?
ICBM stands for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and is a way of delivering warheads to countries on different continents.
Is there a rocket named Atlas?
Yes, it was originally designed in the 1950s as an ICBM that carried a W-49 thermonuclear warhead with a yield of 1.44 megatons. Later the warhead was upgraded to a W-38 thermonuclear warhead with a yield of 3.75 megatons. As an ICBM it became obsolete in the 1960s with the deployment of the Minuteman. NASA used the Atlas in Project Mercury for orbital flights and in Project Gemini to launch the Agena docking vehicles. Atlas in various improved versions continues to be used for launching both civilian and military satellites.
What are the 3 ways that the US could deliver a nuclear warhead?
Strategic bomber, submarine ICBM, ground ICBM
What countries have ICBM?
USA, Russia, England, France, China and India have Inter Continental Balistic Missiles (ICBM)
How fast do ICBMs fly?
The velocity of an ICBM depends on many things, including the type of missile, the target's distance from the launch site, and where the rocket is in it's flight profile. For your question, I will use the LGM-30G Minuteman 3 ICBM, the currently fielded American ICBM. The only available statistic that I can find relation to it's speed is the maximum speed, 15,000 mph. I assume that this is the absolute maximum speed attained by the missile, most likely at the peak of the vehicle's flight just after final stage separation.
