What else can I help you with?
By how much can the ion propulsion system increase the speed of the Dawn spacecraft?
100 times?
When a balloon is filled with air and suddenly released it will fly around the room as the air escapes If compared to a space transportation the air is most similer to what subsystem of spacecraft?
The air in the balloon is most similar to the propulsion system of a spacecraft, which provides the thrust needed to move the spacecraft through space. Just as the air escaping the balloon propels it around the room, the propulsion system of a spacecraft releases propellant to generate thrust and propel the spacecraft through space.
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.

Who invented voyager 1 and 2?
Voyager 1 and 2 were developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory team, led by project scientist Ed Stone and project manager John Casani. The spacecraft were launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets of our solar system and continue on an interstellar mission.
Is it feasible for a spacecraft to have a mass driven propulsion system such as an object being forced between two separately pressurized atmospheres within the craft?
no
How spacecraft moving in space?
It use propulsion system. Propulsion, like Jet engine but the rocket or space craft would store oxygen to combusted with fuel. Some advance spacecraft would use ion thruster by electrically heated up a gas to extremely high temperature and resulted to very fast stream of gas ejected on the back side of the spacecraft.
What do all rockets have in common?
All rockets have a propulsion system that allows them to move in space by expelling a high-speed jet of gas in the opposite direction from the desired direction of movement. They also have a control system to steer the rocket and keep it on its intended path. Additionally, they typically contain a payload, such as a satellite or spacecraft, that is transported into space.
What are the main parts of a rocket ship?
A rocket ship typically consists of three main parts: the payload, the propulsion system, and the structure. The payload is the cargo or spacecraft intended for delivery, such as satellites or crewed modules. The propulsion system includes engines and fuel, which provide the thrust needed to launch and maneuver the rocket. The structure encompasses the frame and materials that support the rocket's various components and withstand the forces experienced during launch and flight.
What are the parts of a rocket and what do they do?
A rocket typically consists of a payload, propulsion system, guidance system, and structure. The payload is the object that the rocket is intended to carry; the propulsion system provides the necessary thrust to lift the rocket off the ground and propel it into space; the guidance system controls the rocket's trajectory and ensures it reaches its intended destination; and the structure holds all the components together and provides stability during flight.

What is the lunar module engine?
The lunar module engine was a rocket engine used to land and take off from the moon during NASA's Apollo missions. It was called the Descent Propulsion System (DPS) for landing, and the Ascent Propulsion System (APS) for taking off from the lunar surface. These engines were crucial for the success of the moon landings.
