In space there is no friction, so once the space craft gets moving it will stay in motion until it runs into something. The lack or resistance (friction) means it doesn't have to keep pushing to continue moving. It only needs enough fuel to get it up to speed then it will continue on by itself.
What else can I help you with?
Is a space probe a manned or unmanned spacecraft?
Unmanned - Space probes are a form of robotic spacecraft.
What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
Why do engineers designing satellite and space probes need to understand gravity?
For the design of the probe an understanding of gravity is not required. However, to get the probe into space and into a stable orbit round a chosen body an understanding of gravity is required. Thus it is the launch vehicle design where an understanding of gravity is needed.
Why is the space probe unmanned?
Space probes are commonly unmanned because they can endure the harsh conditions of space without risking human lives. Without the need to support human life, more space can be dedicated to scientific instruments and fuel, allowing for longer missions. Unmanned probes are also more cost-effective and can be designed to withstand high levels of radiation and extreme temperatures.
How long will a space shuttles fuel last?
The fuel supply of a space shuttle typically lasts for about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. During this time, the shuttle uses up the liquid hydrogen fuel and liquid oxygen fuel to power its main engines for the initial ascent phase before they are jettisoned.
What space probe discovered Saturn?
Saturn is clearly visible in the night sky. It was well known to ancient people, and didn't need a space probe to discover it.
Is a space probe a manned or unmanned spacecraft?
Unmanned - Space probes are a form of robotic spacecraft.
Why is sending a space probe less expensive than sending people into space?
There are several reasons. A probe does not need life support systems, which are complex and expensive. Also, a probe can be smaller since no one has to fit inside it. Furthermore, a probe has the advantage of being able to travel farther away from Earth and spend longer amounts of time in space.
What can you match Ford Probe fuel pump with?
No need to match it to any other pump. Just purchase a fuel pump for your Ford Probe and it will fit and work. You for sure do not want to install a used fuel pump. Way to much work to change it out.
Why are space rovers so small?
The larger and heavier something is, the harder it is to get into space. The more weight you put into a spacecraft, the more fuel you need. And on top of that, you need additional fuel to get that fuel into space, so the need for fuel increases exponentially with the weight of the spacecraft.
What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
Will you need fuel on a trip to space?
Of course.
What is a job that involes math?
A probe person, or someone who fixes machines in the space industries, will take some math. They might need to add up the mass of the probe, or machine.
Can a space probe have an engine?
Yes, and many do depending on what they are for. If the probe is just being placed in earth orbit and is intended to stay if that orbit without moving then it needs no engine and won't have one. The Hubble Space Telescope is a good example. If the probe is intended to change its orbit around the earth, or if it is intended to leave earth orbit and go elswehere in the solar system, then it will need engines for that purpose and will have them.
How does the space shuttle carry enough fuel for a mission?
The space shuttle uses liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel. Generally a sufficient quantity of fuel is carried but if need be re-fuelling can be done in space.
Why are rockets important?
Rockets are needed to lift payloads into space, whether it's to launch a satellite into an orbit around earth or to send a probe out into our solar system and beyond. A lot of speed is required to be able to escape the gravity of the earth. This is provided by the rocket and the huge amount of fuel.
How much space does a Betta need?
bettas need little space to live. they do not like big spaces.
