What is the reference point for altitude?

Mean sea level (MSL) which is the average level of the sea. Determinig "sea level" is a very complex measurement. All other altitude measurements in aviation, in one way or another, are referenced from the mean sea level.


What is the unmannned spacecraft launched in 2011 called?

The unmanned spacecraft launched in 2011 is called the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), which includes the Curiosity rover. It was designed to explore the surface of Mars and assess its habitability by analyzing soil and rock samples. Curiosity has provided significant insights into the planet's geology and potential for past life.


What is the spacecraft called that NASA launched unmanned 2011 5 august?

The spacecraft launched by NASA on August 5, 2011, is called the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), which carries the rover named Curiosity. Its primary mission is to explore the Martian surface and analyze its geology and climate to assess past and present habitability. Curiosity successfully landed on Mars on August 6, 2012, and has been conducting scientific research ever since.


What altitudes have the lowest air pressure?

Ignoring the variations in moving air masses, atmospheric pressure decreases steadily with altitude. A higher altitude will always have a lower air pressure, becoming virtually zero (less than 1 kPa) at around 33 kilometers of altitude, or 108,000 feet above MSL. There are still enough molecules in the thermosphere to cause atmospheric drag on satellites in Low Earth Orbit, up to about 500 km (310 miles).
