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.

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.

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.


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.
