The is the layer where satellites orbit.?

Exosphere


Is a space shuttle flown in the exosphere?

Since the exosphere has no specific end, and it is almost into orbit, then yes. When a space shuttle reaches orbital velocity, it is going to fly past the exosphere. A space shuttle has never attained escape velocity that I know of. It is certainly capable, though. Also, a space shuttle can be flown in the exosphere without ever reaching orbit in some conditions. (i.e. if they launch at JFK in Florida and land at Edwards Air Base in California, because the earth moves counterclockwise. They could only be up there for a very short time, however.)


What space stations are in orbit?

Some notable space stations currently in orbit include the International Space Station (ISS), Tiangong Space Station (China), and Mir-2 (Russia). These space stations are used for scientific research, international cooperation, and testing technologies for future space missions.


Is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the earth?

Satellites and the space shuttle orbit in the thermosphere, a layer of the Earth's atmosphere located between the mesosphere and exosphere. Temperatures in the thermosphere can reach up to 2,500°C due to the absorption of solar radiation.


In which layer you find satellites and space shuttles?

Satellites and space shuttles are found in the exosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere extends from an altitude of about 600 km (373 miles) upwards, and is where most man-made satellites orbit the Earth. Space shuttles operate both within and beyond the exosphere during their missions.

Why does space stations have no moons?

Space stations are too small and do not have gravitational pull to draw in something that large to orbit it.

What is in the international space station?

above the msosphere and below the exosphere sumwhere around there Its orbit is in the thermosphere which is approximately at a altitude of 300km. it is above the mesosphere and below the exosphere.

Do satellites orbit the exosphere?

Satellites do not specifically orbit the exosphere; rather, they orbit the Earth at various altitudes, typically within the thermosphere and lower regions of space. The exosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere, extending from about 600 kilometers (373 miles) to 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) above the Earth's surface. Some satellites, especially those in high orbits, may be located at the lower boundary of the exosphere or overlap into it, but they are primarily considered to be in orbit around the Earth, not within the exosphere itself.


What does the exosphere do for earth?

Nothing. It has been recorded that gases are kept in a layer before trailing off into space, and this area was dubbed the exosphere. Some satellites orbit here.

Which atmospheric layer is where space shuttles orbit?

The atmosphere is divided in to five layers. These are Troposhere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere.

How many space stations are currently in orbit?

As of now, there are multiple space stations in orbit. The International Space Station (ISS) is the most well-known and currently operational, with astronauts living and working onboard. Additionally, China has its own space station, Tiangong, which is also in orbit.
