The rocket body itself simply falls back down from space, either burning up on reentry, splashing into the ocean and sinking to the bottom, or impacting on the ground like a meteor.
If the payload carried by the rocket needs to get back down, it either simply follows a ballistic trajectory and fall back down independent of the rocket (e.g. ICBM warhead, sounding rocket instrument package), or must deorbit by firing retrorockets. Recovery of these payloads (if desired) is another issue.
Some satellites are simply deorbited so that they will reenter the atmosphere, burnup, and be destroyed so that they do not provide a source of dangerous space junk (or in some cases for security reasons if the satellite served a classified function so that pieces cannot be recovered and analyzed).

How does rocket goes up?
A rocket goes up by creating thrust through the combustion of rocket fuel in its engines. This thrust propels the rocket upwards against Earth's gravity, allowing it to overcome the force pulling it down and ascend into space. Once in space, the rocket continues on its trajectory due to its inertia.
Is a space shuttle more like a rocket or a plane?
its really both, it goes up like a rocket and comes down like a plane
During a rocket launch whioch is greater thrust of the rocket engine or weight of the rocket?
During a rocket launch, the thrust of the rocket engine is greater than the weight of the rocket. This is necessary for the rocket to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and lift off into space. The thrust generated pushes the rocket upwards while gravity pulls it down.
What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
What part of the rocket reaches space?
The payload, which is the actual payload, is the part of the rocket that reaches space.
How space rocket in space can be slowed down?
a rocket can be slowed down by firing trusters in the opposite direction however the slower the rocket moves forward the faster it will fall
Why doesn't a rocket in space need to use an engine to keep moving in space?
Because there is no friction in space to slow the rocket down. Once the rocket is at its cruising speed, the engine can be switched off. Of course, that means that you have to use a different engine (pointing forwards) to slow down and stop the rocket since friction won't do it for you.

they take there rocket back

How do rocket explore space?
a rocket powers the space station into orbit
What was the name of the rocket which propelled them into the space?
In 1969, the first rocket went to the moon. The name of the rocket that propelled them into space was the Saturn V rocket.
Are forces acted on a rocket balanced or unbalanced?
Forces acting on a rocket are unbalanced. The thrust from the rocket engines propels the rocket upward, overcoming the force of gravity pulling it down. This imbalance in forces allows the rocket to lift off and ascend into space.
How do Space Aids in space Exploration?
a rocket powers the space station into orbit
Who is rocket?
a rocket is how people get into and get stuff into space
If a astronaut went to space and their rocket broke down what will they do to survive?
It would depend on the circumstances and the damage done.
How do you tie up spaceship in space?
Well usually gravity holds it down such as orbit, or it just stays in space. In space there are not any forces acting then it will not move if the rocket is not travelling.
