Rockets reenter the atmosphere by entering at a controlled angle to minimize heat and stress on the vehicle. They typically use a combination of aerodynamic drag and retro-thrust to slow down, with heat shields protecting them from the intense heat generated by friction with the atmosphere. The trajectory is carefully calculated to ensure a safe descent, allowing the rocket or spacecraft to land at the desired location. Parachutes or other landing systems may also be deployed for a safe landing.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when a space shuttle reenter the atmosphere?
It heats up a lot and becomes vey hot.
Why don't NASA's Rockets burn up while falling back through earths atmosphere?
The rockets have heat cells on the rocket
Why do some rockets burn up in the atmosphere?
They go really fast
What are some of the jobs rockets have done in the past?
Rockets have sent unmanned spacecraft to mars and Jupiter. Satellites put in orbit by rockets beam back information about earth's atmosphere and weather.
Do rockets need fins in space?
No, rockets do not need fins in space because fins are used for stability and control in Earth's atmosphere, not in the vacuum of space. In space, rockets rely on thrusters for maneuvering and direction control.
Do satellite ever stop in space?
No, they do not stop until they reenter the earth's atmosphere.
How does a rocket reenter the earth atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere is just gas, just like an airplane can get through clouds, a rocket can get through the Earth's atmosphere.
What happens when a space shuttle reenter the atmosphere?
It heats up a lot and becomes vey hot.
Why is a shuttle look so much like an airplane?
It has to reenter the atmosphere and land like a plane.
Why are planes and rockets pointed in shape?
To have less air resistance (in the case of rockets, while they are still in the atmosphere).
Why rockets can resist extreme high temperature?
with strong outer shells,rockets can resist the atmosphere's extremely high temperature created by their rapid movement through the atmosphere
Why do rockets have a narrow top?
Rockets have a narrow top to reduce friction while trying to break through the atmosphere.
What are the ways that water vapor can reenter the atmosphere?
Water vapor can reenter the atmosphere through processes like evaporation from bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, as well as transpiration from plants. Additionally, water vapor can be released into the atmosphere through human activities like industrial processes and combustion of fossil fuels.
Are rockets in the mesosphere layer?
Yes, rockets pass through the mesosphere layer on their way to outer space. The mesosphere is the third layer of the Earth's atmosphere, located between the stratosphere and thermosphere. Rockets typically travel through the mesosphere within minutes before reaching the higher layers of the atmosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere can rockets orbit?
To have a more or less stable orbit, the rocket will have to orbit OUTSIDE of the atmosphere.
Why don't NASA's Rockets burn up while falling back through earths atmosphere?
The rockets have heat cells on the rocket
Why do some rockets burn up in the atmosphere?
They go really fast
