How does gravity affect the launch of spacecraft from earth?

Gravity affects the launch of spacecraft from Earth by pulling the spacecraft back towards Earth. The spacecraft must overcome this gravitational force through its propulsion system to successfully launch and enter into orbit. A balance between the force of gravity and the propulsion system is required for a successful launch.


How long does it take to leave earth?

The time it takes to leave Earth depends on the speed and trajectory of the spacecraft. For example, it took the Apollo missions about 3 days to travel from Earth to the Moon. Spacecraft traveling to other planets like Mars can take several months to reach their destination.


How do astronauts leave the moon?

The astronauts will have to use the lunar module , to return from the moon, they join up with the command module. '''''INCORRECT''''' ---- The space craft is difted back by the gravitational pull of the earth.


If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?

The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.


A spacecraft orbits Earth at a constant speed.The forces actinbg on it must be?

There is only one force acting on an orbiting spacecraft ... the force of gravity.It's NOT correct to say that a constant speed in a curved path indicates balanced forces.That's true only when the constant speed is in a straight line. If the direction is changing,there must be net forces on the moving object, even if its speed is constant.

What is speed that a spacecraft must reach to orbit the Earth is what?

The speed that a spacecraft must reach to leave Earth forever is 25,000 miles per hour. This is called "escape velocity", and this is the initial velocity required to leave the Earth behind completely. However, the concept of "escape velocity" is fundamentally flawed, being based on the concept of a shell being fired from a giant cannon. A rocket with enough fuel may leave the Earth behind at any speed desired. The required velocity to attain orbit depends on the altitude of the orbit; curiously, lower orbits require more speed, while higher orbits require less speed - but more fuel to get there! At the altitude of the ISS, an object must be going at about 18,000 MPH to be in a circular orbit.

What do you call a spacecraft that is controlled from earth?

A spacecraft that is controlled from Earth is typically referred to as a teleoperated spacecraft. This means that it is being controlled by operators on Earth rather than operating autonomously.


Why must spacecraft reach escape velocity to be able to go to space?

a slower speed will not overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth. It would fall back to Earth.


How did the Apollo 11 leave space?

After completing its mission on the moon, Apollo 11 utilized its propulsion system to leave lunar orbit and return to Earth. The spacecraft's engines fired to break free from the moon's gravitational pull and begin the journey back home. The spacecraft then carefully calculated its trajectory to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and safely splash down in the ocean.


What spacecraft landed on Neptune?

No spacecraft from Earth has ever landed on Neptune.


What does a space plane do?

A spaceplane is a vehicle that can fly and glide like an aircraft in Earth's atmosphere and maneuver like a spacecraft in outer space. To do so, spaceplanes must incorporate features of both aircraft and spacecraft.
