Which NASA rocket caught fire?

The Apollo 1 spacecraft caught fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, resulting in the deaths of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. The fire was caused by an electrical fault and ignited the pure oxygen environment inside the spacecraft.


How would the parachute fall on the moon?

Due to the Moon's lower gravity (about one-sixth that of Earth's), a parachute would need to be much larger to slow down a spacecraft effectively. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the Moon means that traditional parachutes would not work, so alternative methods like retro-rockets or airbags are used for landing spacecraft.


Why are rockets launched from Florida?

There are several main reasons that Cape Canaveral was chosen for NASA's main launch center when it was created in 1958, but the biggest reason is the most obvious; Location, Location, Location. Most people don't realize it, but Kennedy Space Center is only part of a much larger complex. Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (Patrick AFB), across the Merritt Island Causeway from KSC, was there before NASA was created, was in a remote location (then) and provided the military security required to conduct classified missions and work. As a result, when NASA was created, it was a prime spot and was chosen for NASA's launch facilities. Additionally, besides its remote location, by virtue of being next to the ocean, it provides all launch vehicles with a safety factor not available with launch locations (e.g., Vandenberg AFB) deeper inside the United States. All launches have a downrange trajectory over the Atlantic Ocean (usually East, but occasionally North up the East Coast of the U.S. if required) so that in the event of an accident or the need to intentionally destroy a launch vehicle, any collateral ground damage will be minimal.


Do rockets work better in space or in air?

Rockets work better in space than in air. In space, rockets don't have to overcome the resistance caused by air, allowing them to achieve higher speeds and more efficient propulsion. In contrast, in the Earth's atmosphere, rockets have to fight against air resistance which hinders their performance.


Why is Robert H Goddard considered the father of modern rocketry?

Robert H. Goddard is considered the father of modern rocketry because he was the first to successfully launch a liquid-fueled rocket in 1926. His work laid the foundation for future advancements in rocket technology, and his designs and research greatly influenced the development of modern rockets used for space exploration.

How do rockets without fire fly while they are in space?

An object in motion will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction unless some force acts on it. So there is no need to continuously fire rockets in space. That is only needed if the spacecraft needs to change speed or direction. When spacecraft is on orbit, gravity constantly pulls it toward the object it is orbiting, but it is moving fast enough that, in simple terms, it will constantly miss.

Do model rockets and real rockets work the same?

Yes, both work by action/reaction. Model rockets are just much smaller, thus have much less fuel, so can't go near as high or as far.
