Sounding rockets are suborbital rockets used to conduct scientific experiments in space for a short duration, typically reaching altitudes of 50-1500 km. They differ from other probes like satellites or space probes by their short flight duration and limited range, making them ideal for studying phenomena in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Sounding rockets can provide quick access to space and collect data in real-time before parachuting back to Earth for retrieval and analysis.
What else can I help you with?
How did people study the upper atomosphere before there were airplanes and other sophisticated instruments?
Before airplanes and other sophisticated instruments, people studied the upper atmosphere using tools such as ground-based telescopes, weather balloons, rockets, and sounding rockets. These methods allowed scientists to observe and collect data on the upper atmosphere's composition, temperature, and pressure.
What is a space craft?
A spacecraft is a vehicle or device designed for travel or operation in outer space. It includes satellites, rockets, space shuttles, probes, and other vehicles used for exploring space, conducting research, or transporting cargo and personnel.
What probes flew past Jupiter and other planets?
Most famously, it was voyager 1 and 2 that explored these outer gas planets and have given us so much information. Other probes have been sent to these gas giants, but these are the the probes that visited all four gas giants between them.
Where do some rockets get their oxygen from?
Some rockets, such as liquid fuel rockets, carry liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer in a separate tank. The LOX is then mixed with the rocket's fuel and ignited to create thrust. Other rockets, like solid fuel rockets, have an oxidizer mixed into their solid fuel composition.
What makes the space shuttle different from other rockets?
Reusability.
Sounding the horn is not recommended because is my startle other?
Sounding the horn is not recommended because it may startle other drivers.

What are temperature probes?
They are small metal probes with a dial on one end. Stick the other end in food and it will read temperature.
Why have rockets?
You need rockets so you can travel to space and visit other planets. Without rockets we would know nothing about astronomy.
What does friction have to do with rockets?
Among other things, friction will tend to slow the rockets down.
How many times have space probes gone to earth?
Space probes leave Earth, they do not go toit.
Do cabbage and age rhyme?
No, Cabbage and Age do NOT rhyme, because the 'a' in 'cabbage' is short-sounding, and the 'a' in 'age' is long sounding. Therefore, they don't rhyme with each other because they have different sounding vowels.

Are any Pocket Rockets rated for highway driving?
Yes, Pocket Rockets are rated for highway driving. Pocket Rockets are legal in Canada and most other states. Check local your local laws for more information. Pocket Rockets and other motorcycle License required in most states.
Can an intercontinental ballistic missile reach escape velocity?
Yes. Probes have already be sent to the Moon, and other planets; this requires a velocity very near the escape velocity from Earth. Other probes are leaving the Solar System, so they achieved the much higher escape velocity required to escape the attraction from the Sun.
