Ice accumulates on the (orange-brown) external fuel tank for the Space Shuttle because it contains very cold liquid hydrogen and oxygen (fuel for the shuttle engines). Although the tank has foam insulation, it needs to be lightweight and so it can only be partially effective in preventing condensation. Water condenses out of the air and freezes in some locations around the fuel tank.
What else can I help you with?
When was the latest space rocket launched?
The most recent space rocket launch was on [date], when [rocket name] successfully took off from [launch site].
What does the rocket takeoff from?
Your question is very broad. One of the things a rocket takes off from is called a launch pad. Launch pads are the place where rockets take off. But the things that cause it to take off are completely different. A rocket takes off or 'launches' from a concept called thrust. Thrust is when say I have a ten pound ball that I want to throw directly up in the air. I need to create 10 pounds of energy to launch it and then enough energy to actually get it to where I want to go. Those are the basic things that make a rocket launch.
What is the stuff that falls from rockets during launch?
Ice. Apollo-era rockets were powered by combinations of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. In preparation for launch these fuels are pumped into the rocket at high pressures. When the rocket is ignited the pressure inside these fuel tanks drops very rapidly. Any time a compressed gas is rapidly decompressed a cooling effect is observed. This cooling effect coupled with the already frigid temperatures of liquid hydrogen & liquid oxygen results in rapid condensation and freezing of water from the surrounding atmosphere onto the skin of the craft. The rocket, of course, vibrates considerably and is accelerating at an incredible pace at this point in the flight, and so the ice is knocked off.
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.
How do you get the rocket on ascension to launch?
You have to launch all the landers and it will refuel and then at the spot where you turn on the power theres a button click it. The rocket will take off. (if you have a ray gun you can shoot it down)

Why is it better to launch a rocket closer to the equator to the pole?
It isn't you need to launch it off my dick
What is the meaning of lifted off?
It means when a rocket leaves its launch pad. "Lift Off!"

What is the function for a rockets engine?
To launch the rocket off the ground and make it go fast.

What is the name of the rocket that exploded when it took off?
one rocket that exploded was the challenger shuttle
Where are rockets lanced from?
Rockets are typically launched from facilities called launch pads, which are situated at rocket launch sites or spaceports. These launch pads provide a stable platform for the rocket to lift off vertically into space. Launch pads are equipped with various support systems for fueling, communications, and safety measures.
What effect does the wind have on the way you launch the rocket?
The wind can affect the stability and trajectory of the rocket during launch. Strong winds can cause the rocket to veer off course or tilt in flight, potentially leading to a failed launch or unsafe landing. It is important to consider wind speed and direction before launching a rocket to ensure a successful and safe flight.
Why does a rocket take more fuel to launch off the moon than earth?
Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.
