Who puts junk in space?

Space launches, to get astronauts into space, or to place satellites in Earth orbit, cause unintentional debris as rocket stages are jettisoned and explosive bolts fire. The debris generated travels at huge speeds and remains in orbit for many years. Satellites come to the end of their life, when batteries fail, or electronics wear out and are left in their orbits to naturally decay and fall back to Earth. Finally,the worst form of space junk is the deliberate disintegration of a target satellites by the testing of new space weapons. These weapons are used to show off the technological abilities of nations and as a sign of strength. We are making a prison for ourselves since there are millions of pieces of junk in space and when the Shuttle hit a fleck of paint in space it very nearly blew a hole in the cockpit glass.


What happens once the space shuttle goes to space?

When a shuttle reaches outer space it can turn off its thrusters because the law of inertia states that an object in motion can stay at motion until a force acts upon it. And it can just fly without wasting gas/fuel.


What is the difference between space satellite and space shuttle?

A space satellite is an object launched into orbit around Earth or another celestial body for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, or scientific research. A space shuttle, on the other hand, is a type of spacecraft used for carrying astronauts and cargo to and from space, typically for missions to and from a space station or to deploy satellites. The space shuttle is reusable, while satellites are typically not designed to return to Earth.

Why satellite important to us?

Satellites fly high in the sky, so they can see large areas of Earth at one time. Satellites also have a clear view of space. That's because they fly above Earth's clouds and air. Before satellites, TV signals didn't go very far. TV signals only travel in straight lines. So they would go off into space instead of following Earth's curve. Sometimes they would be blocked by mountains or tall buildings. Phone calls to faraway places were also a problem. It costs a lot and it is hard to set up telephone wires over long distances or underwater. With satellites, TV signals and phone calls can be sent up to a satellite. The satellite can then send them back down to different spots on Earth.

Why dont objects in the solar system fly off into space?

They are bound to the sun in closed orbits by mutual gravitational attraction. Those that had too much kinetic energy to be captured and gravitationally bound to the sun, weren't, and they're gone.
