There are various forces acting on them, but a few forces which significantly decide their motion are:
1. On moon: Gravitational force due to earth and sun
2. On spacecraft: Gravitational force due to earth, moon and sun
The force that causes a spacecraft to orbit the Moon is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, like the Moon and the spacecraft, which keeps the spacecraft in orbit around the Moon.
The spacecraft will be at a point known as the "Lagrange point," specifically L1, which lies between the Earth and the Moon. At this location, the gravitational forces from both the Earth and the Moon, along with the centrifugal force due to the spacecraft's orbit, balance each other out. This point is approximately 58,000 kilometers from the Moon and 326,000 kilometers from the Earth. Here, the spacecraft experiences a net gravitational force of zero, allowing it to maintain a stable position relative to both celestial bodies.
The Russian vehicle Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to land on the moon.
India's first moon mission sends the unmanned spacecraft is named Chandrayaan-1 to the moon.
The first spacecraft on the moon was called Eagle. After the Jules verne spacecraft.
a spacecraft is anything from satellites to shuttles.
The first spacecraft to land on the moon was called the Eagle, after the novel of Jules Verne called From the earth to the moon.
ahhh now.... When a spacecraft leaves earths atmoshere it does not leave earths gravitational pull! the moon itself is in earths gravitational pull. which is what stops the moon from floating away so as far as i can imagine if you put a space craft on the moon you have not left earths gravitational pull or the E.G.P
The circling of the spacecraft around the moon is called its lunar orbit.
Surveyor 1 was the first American spacecraft on the moon. It landed in 1966
The Gemini spacecraft carried two astronauts to the moon.
The name of the spacecraft that took Neil Armstrong. to the moon was Apollo 11
