A rocket turns in space by using its thrusters or reaction control system (RCS), which expels gas in the opposite direction to create a torque, allowing it to rotate. By firing specific thrusters on one side of the rocket, it can pivot around its center of mass. This maneuvering is based on Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The rocket’s orientation can also be adjusted using its main engines, depending on the desired direction of travel.
