Which type of spacecraft is best suited to explore planets that have different conditions from those on earth?
There isn't one answer. According to current NASA (and other organization's) thinking, the ideal space craft would be an incredibly light, fast moving craft with a separate section designed to actually touch down on extraterrestrial surfaces. Since the craft wouldn't have to deal with the wide variety of potential surfaces, it would be cheaper and more versatile. However, the landing craft would have to be altered to fit the conditions of the surface.
What was the name of the flip down front boats that were used in World War 2?
LCVPs (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) also known as 'Higgins Boats'
What is the velocity of soyuz tm10 when landing on the earth?
According to the following NASA article http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/structure/elements/soyuz/landing.html The speed at landing is less than 4 feet per second, due to rockets on the bottom of the craft that fire in the final second before touch down. The chute slows it to 24 feet per second. The seats are also fitted specifically to the occupant's bodies and have shock absorbers to ease the landing.

How do you land a plane in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004?
engage flaps, lower landing gear, cut throttle and gently touch down.
How do you end the flight simulator Caribbean Landing mission?
you just follow the ground and tower instructions and then approach to runway 09 at heading 100 and touch down? lol
What was the eagle to do with space?
"Eagle" was the name of the lunar landing module of the Apollo 11 space mission, the first manned mission to the moon. On July 20, 1969 it set down in the Sea of Tranquility on the moons surface, carrying US astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, making them the first humans to reach the moon. Upon landing, Neil Armstrong sent the famous message back to NASA control, "Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed."
What is lunar module?
Lunar module is the landing craft design to transport astronaut from Moon's orbit down to surface and return astronaut back to orbit. Lunar module is the key part in Apollo project led by NASA.
What is the flight path of a landing aircraft in the direction of the runway on center line called?
It's called 'flaring to a landing,' where the nose of the aircraft is brought up, raising angle of attack, lowering airspeed, until the main gear gently touch down on the runway. When speaking exclusively of that portion of the landing path, an aircraft is said to be 'flaring' or 'in the flair.'
