There is no "space atmosphere".
What is the first layer of atmosphere an astronaut passes through when the reentry from space?
It's the exosphere,
How might friction affect an object from outer space entering your atmosphere?
Friction slows objects down, changing kinetic energy into thermal energy. Usually an object from outer space will be travelling very, very fast as it enters the atmosphere and the friction (from the air resistance) will slow it down a lot. This energy is converted to heat, which is why objects can burn up in the atmosphere.
What is the last layer of the atmosphere prior to entering space called?

What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?

What are 2 reasons for sending telescopes into space?
Telescopes in space are able to view objects clearly without having to look through a thick layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This enables them to capture better pictures and observe dimmer and more distant objects.
Why are cartels rare?
cartels are formed by the impact of falling object from space. since most of the objects disintegrate into fragments on or before entering the earths atmosphere it do not make any noticeable impact. hence cartels are rare.

What are the disadvantages of sending a space probe to space?
its because it uses huge amount of fuel to go into outer space and more even entering into earth's atmosphere
Is it true that the clearest images of objects in deep space are produced by a telescope in space?
Yes, telescopes in space, like the Hubble Space Telescope, produce the clearest images because images from ground-based telescopes get distorted when the light passes through the atmosphere.
