What was the name of the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter?
It's Pioneer 10, launched in March 1972. Pioneer 10 first explored the asteroid belt, then moved on to Jupiter. After that, it explored other outer planets and eventually went outside of the solar system, thus becoming the first spacecraft to flay past Pluto.
Time for viking spacecraft to reach Jupiter?
The Viking Space Probes did not go to Jupiter. They were used to explore Mars.
What was the name of the first civilian spacecraft?
SpaceShipOne. It won the Ansari X prize for being the first to go sub-orbital.
What is the name of first spacecraft?
"The first rocket was the Sputnik...." Here we go again... NO It Wasn't! The first Spacecraft with a human to go into space was the Russian Satellite called 'Vostok', or 'Vostok 3KA'. 'Sputink', is the Russian word for 'Satellite', it was NOT the Name of the spacecraft. imagine if every Russian called 'Apollo 18' ... 'Satilite' with a heavy russian accent... DRrr Not. It Also was not the first spacecraft! the Russians launched a bunch of Dogs and crap up there first... there were many spacecrafts that went up before 'Vostok'.
What equipment would you need to go to Jupiter?
To go to Jupiter, you would need a spacecraft capable of withstanding the extreme radiation and atmospheric pressure of the planet, as well as the long duration of the journey. This spacecraft would require advanced life support systems, radiation shielding, propulsion systems, communication equipment, and scientific instruments to study Jupiter and its moons.
Which planet did the pioneer space probe go to?
The Pioneer probes, specifically Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11, were launched to explore Jupiter and Saturn. Pioneer 10 became the first spacecraft to travel through the asteroid belt and make a successful encounter with Jupiter, while Pioneer 11 flew by Jupiter and Saturn.
How long will it take to go the planet Jupiter?
That would totally depend on how fast you were going. The Galileo spacecraft took six years to get to Jupiter going thousands of miles per hour.
What planet did GALILEO spacecraft go out to study?
Jupiter. And its moons Europa and Io. Also inspected asteroids Gaspra, Ida, and Dactyl
What planet did the voyager first go to?
Jupiter was first.
Have any space missions visted Jupiter?
Jupiter has been visited by 8 different probes:Pioneer 10 - 1973Pioneer 10 was the first spacecraft to ever pass through the asteroid belt, and the first to visit Jupiter up close. It made a flyby of Jupiter in December, 1973, passing 130,354 km away from the planet. During this encounter, the spacecraft took measurements of the planet's magnetosphere, radiation belts, magnetic field, and captured the first ever up close images of Jupiter and its moons. Pioneer 10 also used Jupiter's gravity to increase its velocity. Pioneer 10 then sped on a direction that will take it out of the Solar System.Pioneer 11 - 1974Pioneer 11 followed its partner past Jupiter in 1974. But it got much closer, passing only 43,000 km above the surface of Jupiter. It then went on to become the first spacecraft to visit Saturn. Just like Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11 captured images of Jupiter and its moons, and made measurements of the planet's magnetic field, magnetosphere, atmosphere. It also sent home the most dramatic images of Jupiter's Great Red Spot ever seen.Voyager 1 - 1979Just a few years after the Pioneer spacecraft had sped past Jupiter, NASA's Voyager spacecraft came through the system and took even more detailed images and scientific data. Voyager 1 tracked the wind speeds in Jupiter's atmosphere, and observed lightning for the first time, crackling in the cloud tops. It also captured detailed photographs of Jupiter's largest moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.Voyager 2 - 1979The first step in its grand tour of the Solar System, Voyage 2 also visited Jupiter in 1979. It used the planet's gravity to give it a slingshot maneuver that allowed it to visit Saturn, Uranus and Neptune after Jupiter. Voyager 2 got within 722,000 km of the surface of Jupiter, and sent back stunning images of the entire planet.Ulysses - 1991NASA's Ulysses spacecraft's main purpose was to learn about the polar regions of the Sun, but no rocket engines are powerful enough to get a spacecraft above the Solar System's Ecliptic Plane. In order to complete its mission, Ulysses used the gravity of Jupiter to fling itself into a trajectory that took it above the plane of the ecliptic.Galileo - 1995Galileo was the first (and last) spacecraft to ever go into orbit around Jupiter. It was launched in 1989, but needed to make a few planetary flybys to get enough velocity to meet up with Jupiter in 1995. In addition to Galileo's amazing images and data, the spacecraft also carried a tiny probe that we dropped into Jupiter's atmosphere to sample the characteristics on the way down. The probe only lasted 58 minutes, reaching a depth of 200 km before it was destroyed. Galileo was deliberately crashed into Jupiter in 2003 to prevent it accidently contaminating one of Jupiter's moons.Cassini - 2000Although its final destination was Saturn, NASA's Cassini spacecraft made a flyby of Jupiter to get a much needed gravity boost. While it was there, Cassini captured some of the most beautiful images of Jupiter and its moons ever seen.New Horizons - 2007The most recent spacecraft to fly past Jupiter was NASA's New Horizons, which visited in 2007. Already the fastest spacecraft ever launched, New Horizons increased its velocity even more from the Jupiter flyby, and will reach Pluto in 2015. During its Jupiter flyby, it captured extremely detailed images of Jupiter and its moons.
Name of the first rocket which took man to the moon?
The rocket itself was the Saturn V. If you're referring to the first spacecraft to ORBIT the moon, that would be Apollo 8. The first spacecraft to LAND on the moon was Apollo 11's lander 'Eagle'.
What would you need to go to Jupiter?
you would need a space suit and supplies also a lot of space food and the most important a spacecraft.
