Which types of space objects does this agency keep track of?

The agency keeps track of various space objects, including satellites, debris, rocket bodies, and other artificial objects orbiting Earth. They also monitor asteroids and other near-Earth objects that could potentially pose a threat to our planet.


How many different parts are there to a rocket?

A rocket typically consists of several main components, including the payload (the object being carried), the fuselage (body of the rocket), the propulsion system (engines), and the guidance system. Additionally, rockets may have various other parts such as fins, fuel tanks, and separation mechanisms.


What do a frame do for a rocket?

A frame in a rocket provides structural support and holds various components in place, such as the engines, fuel tanks, payload, and avionics. It helps maintain the rocket's shape and integrity during launch, flight, and landing. Additionally, the frame can also serve as a mounting point for fins, landing gear, and other external features.


What force acts on a space shuttle when it accelerates?

Presumably the most important force on an accelerating space shuttle is the force of the rocket engines (thrusters). Certainly other forces are present, including gravity and air friction.


What is the difference between a multistage rocket and a single stage rocket?

A single-stage rocket has all its propulsion and structure contained in a single unit, while a multistage rocket consists of two or more stages stacked on top of each other. In a multistage rocket, each stage is jettisoned when its fuel is exhausted, shedding weight and making the spacecraft lighter, enabling it to achieve higher speeds. This design allows multistage rockets to carry heavier payloads and go farther into space than single-stage rockets.

Is ammonia used in rocket engines?

Yes, ammonia has been used as a propellant in rocket engines. It is valued for its high energy content and can be used in both liquid-fueled and hybrid rocket engines. However, it is less common than other propellants like liquid hydrogen or kerosene.


Can rocket fuel be used for gas turbine engines?

There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.


What forces cause the movement of objects in space?

Gravity is the primary force that causes the movement of objects in space. Additionally, other factors such as momentum, thrust from engines, and interactions with other celestial bodies can also influence the movement of objects in space.

Why doesn't a rocket in space need to use its engines to keep it moving?

"an object in motion, shall remain in motion until acted upon by another force" no other forces in space


What is the difference between a mechanic and a machinist?

A mechanic works on motors, machines,engines. A Machinist uses lathes and other tools to make objects out of different types of metals.


Why is a rocket complicated?

where do you think the term "rocket-science" came from... because they are high precision instruments and go woosh and might exlpode Rocket engines employ the principle of Jet propulsion. The rocket engines powering rockets come in a great variety of different types. Most current rockets are chemically powered rockets (usually internal combustion engines, but some employ a decomposing mono-propellent) that emit a hot exhaust gas. A rocket engine can use gas propellants, Solid propellant, liquid propellant, or a hybrid mixture of both solid and liquid. Some rockets use heat or pressure that is supplied from a source other than the chemical reaction of propellant(s), such as steam rockets, solar thermal rockets, nuclear thermal rocket engines or simple pressurized rockets such as water rocket or cold gas thruster. With combustive propellants a chemical reaction is initiated between the fuel and the oxidizer in the combustion chamber, and the resultant hot gases accelerate out of a rocket engine nozzles (or nozzle's) at the rearward-facing end of the rocket. The acceleration of these gases through the engine exerts force ("thrust") on the combustion chamber and nozzle, propelling the vehicle (in accordance with Newton's Third Law). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket#Rocket_propellant
