What was the name of the first rocket the US sent up into space?
The first rocket the US sent up into space was the Jupiter C launch vehicle and its payload was Explorer 1 the first American Satellite.
What is the most powerful rocket engine ever made?
Saturn V remains the largest and most powerful launch vehicle ever brought to operational status from a height, weight and payload standpoint.
How can rockets be re-used?
Rockets can be reused by landing the first stage back on Earth intact after delivering its payload into orbit. This allows for refurbishment and re-flight of the rocket, reducing costs associated with building a new rocket for each launch. Companies like SpaceX have successfully demonstrated this technology with their Falcon 9 rocket.
How do the parts of a rocket fall off as rockets go?
In the first few minutes of launch, big hunks of frost fall off. Later, when the rocket is near the top of the atmosphere, the large first stage of the rocket motor detaches by its explosive mounting bolts blowing themselves to bits. Later, the intermediate stage detaches in a similar manner.
Which is the first rocket of India?
The first rocket of India was named Nike Apache, which was launched on November 21, 1963. It was a sounding rocket that was launched from Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thumba, Kerala.
What was the first animal in a rocket?
The first animal in a rocket was a fruit fly. On February 20, 1947, a V-2 rocket launched from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico carrying a payload of fruit flies. The flies survived the flight and became the first living creatures to journey into space.
What was the name of the first rocket the US sent up into space?
The first rocket the US sent up into space was the Jupiter C launch vehicle and its payload was Explorer 1 the first American Satellite.
How do multi stage rockets get payload off Earth?
The first stage ignites the rocket and propels it toward the atmosphere. After, the second stage would start up and follow the same course out to space. When the rocket is almost out of the atmosphere, the third stage would start up and take the rocket to where it needs to go, like the moon.
When was the space rocket invented?
The A4-V2 rocket, the first rocket ever to reach space back in 1944, was developed by the Nazi government around 1938 and 1939. Sputnik Rocket, the first rocket to launch a payload into orbit back in 1957, was developed by the Soviet Union in the mid 1950s. Vostok 8K72K, the first rocket used to launch a person into space back in 1961, was developed shortly after the sputnik rocket. In 2012 the world will end

What was the first rocket launched at the moon?
The first rocket was a Russian R-7 Semyorka (which was a modified inter continental ballistic missile), known to the West as SS-6 Sapwood and to the Soviet Union as GRAU index 8K71. It was used to carry Luna 1 the first probe (spacecraft) to reach the vicinity of the moon. There may have been other rockets that were launched "at" the moon but this was the first whose payload actually reached the moon.

What was the first rocket use for?
The first rockets were used to create colorful and breathtaking displays in the sky,visible by large numbers of people.They were developed in China several Centuries ago, and are still in use. We call them "fireworks".
Does a rocket really take 99 percent of its energy to move the first foot off the launch pad?
I don't think so. With plain, simple Physics, that doesn't add up. Let's look at it this way: It's convenient to talk about 'work' here, which is the same as energy. Work can be measured as (force) multiplied by (distance). The main booster engines of the rocket's first stage ignite, throttle up to full thrust, and stay at full thrust for as long as the first stage continues to burn. Regardless of how the weight of the first stage dwindles as its fuel is drained, the rocket thrust is constant, or pretty near. So the 'work' done by the main rocket motors ... the energy they deliver ... (force) x (distance) ... is about the same for every foot the vehicle rises, at least for a while. So it can't be99% in the first foot. =============================================== Here's another way to look at it: The energy delivered by the rocket motors accomplishes two main things: 1). Lifting the payload to orbital altitude. (potential energy) 2). Giving the payload enough tangential speed to stay in orbit. (kinetic energy) If it were true that 99% of the energy is produced in the first foot, then by that time the payload would have almost enough speed to stay in orbit. It doesn't. So the statement can't be true. You're welcome.
