What else can I help you with?
When did the international space station go into orbit?
It began to be assembled in orbit in 1998.
How long does it take a rocket to go to space?
The space shuttle went from sea level to orbit in about 8 minutes
Why doesnt a rocket go on moving up and up what happens to it into orbit?
A rocket doesn't continue moving upward indefinitely because it eventually reaches the point where the forces of gravity and atmospheric drag significantly decrease, allowing it to achieve orbit. Once it reaches a certain altitude and speed, the rocket's engines shut off, and it enters a stable orbit due to its horizontal velocity counteracting the pull of gravity. In orbit, the rocket continuously falls towards Earth but has enough sideways speed to keep missing it, creating a balance between gravitational pull and inertia.
How fast does an average rocket ship go?
An average rocket ship can travel at speeds of around 17,000 to 25,000 miles per hour in low Earth orbit. However, speeds can vary depending on the specific mission and destination of the rocket.
How do satelites orbit the earth?
Satellites get up in to space by being launched in a rocket. Once at the altitude necessary for their mission, they separate from the rocket and then orbit the earth.Different kinds of satellites orbit at different heights above the earth. Weather satellites, GPS satellites, and communications satellites all perform different tasks.
Why does the rocket have to go sideways?
The rocket needs to go sideways to reach orbit. By moving sideways fast enough, the rocket can overcome the force of gravity pulling it back towards Earth. This sideways velocity allows the rocket to enter a stable orbit around Earth.
Is the earths orbit or the sun bigger?
If the Sun were larger than Earth's orbit, we'd be inside it. Are we inside it? There you go.
Can scientist who want to put a satellite into a polar orbit take advantage of earths rotation to give the rocket a boost?
The closer to the equator one builds launch facilities, the lower the thrust required to boost a rocket into orbit. If you stand in the center of a merry-go-round, you feel much less centripetal force than you feel on the edge, when it is spinning at the same rate.
What is earths orbit time to go around the sun?
One Year; 365.24 days.
What remains do the earths orbit go through?
The earth's orbit passes through the orbits of cometary debris which manifest themselves as meteorite showers.
What does a orbiter in a space rocket do?
it lets you orbit around space and go back to earth safely
When did the international space station go into orbit?
It began to be assembled in orbit in 1998.
How long does it take a rocket to go to space?
The space shuttle went from sea level to orbit in about 8 minutes
If all the people on the Earth jumped at the same time would the earth be thown out of its orbit?
No, the earths orbit is so great that the moon would would half to go at 100,000 mps to alter the orbit of the earth.
Why is mars not visible when in between the sun and the earth?
the orbit of mars is outside that of the earth's orbit so it can't go between earth and the sun
How do you get to the other end of the team rocket warehouse?
Go to the man outside and he will ask you if you want to go inside. Click yes and you will be in.
Got stuck in poptropica how to get back into space you already ussed flying saucer?
Get a rocket. Go to the shop and ask the alien to let you build a new rocket. Then go outside and click on the pad.
