What is needed to launch anything into space?
Energy enough to accelerate the object to an orbital velocity.
What would happen if Russia and the US had a nuclear war?
Well, nuclear war. Both countries would likely be destroyed by missile and nuclear weapons. They do host the world's first and second largest nuclear arsenals (to many people's surprises, Russia is ahead of the US. In fact, theres is almost twice the size of Americas). I doubt a soldier would even touch either countries land.
What is the importance of Mutual Assured Destruction?
It ensures (hopefully) that both nations are too frightened to launch their nuclear munitions.
Why did the US want the Soviet Union to remove it's nuclear weapons from Cuba?
Because the nuclear weapons were missiles that could be deployed to the United States. And they were getting ready to launch them. this is lies
How did Mutually Assured Destruction help stop a nuclear war?
Mutually Assured Destruction made sure that both the United States and Russia were too scared to launch their nuclear munitions at one another (no matter how much they'd like to).
What is a nuclear missile made of?
A standard chemical rocket, same as used to launch satellites, with a nuclear warhead in its nose cone, instead of a satellite. Simple isn't it?
Is there a rocket named Atlas?
Yes, it was originally designed in the 1950s as an ICBM that carried a W-49 thermonuclear warhead with a yield of 1.44 megatons. Later the warhead was upgraded to a W-38 thermonuclear warhead with a yield of 3.75 megatons. As an ICBM it became obsolete in the 1960s with the deployment of the Minuteman. NASA used the Atlas in Project Mercury for orbital flights and in Project Gemini to launch the Agena docking vehicles. Atlas in various improved versions continues to be used for launching both civilian and military satellites.
Who has authority to launch UK nuclear weapons?
Any decision by the UK to go to war, or to launch nuclear weapons, would have to be made by Parliament.
What is the launch path of a sateillte called?
The launch path of a satellite is called its trajectory. This trajectory is the path that the satellite follows from launch until it reaches its final orbital destination in space.
Who invented the nuclear missile?
This is two separate inventions: the nuclear bomb/warhead and the vertical launch long range rocket. They were separately invented at different times by different people, then mated together to make SRBM, IRBM, SLBM, and ICBM. Robert Goddard & Werner von Braun both independently invented different vertical launch long range rockets. Leo Szilard invented the fission bomb, Stan Ulam and Edward Teller invented the fusion bomb.
What is needed to launch anything into space?
Energy enough to accelerate the object to an orbital velocity.
When will Iran launch a nuclear attack?
Unable to determine.
Can north Korea launch a nuclear missile from a submarine?
No
How far can a nuclear bomb travel?
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
Was nuclear bombs found in cuba during Vietnam?
At no time have nuclear weapons been in Cuba. In the 1963 Cuban missile crisis the USSR and Cuba had built IRBM launch facilities, IRBM storage facilities, and warhead storage facilities. Some IRBM's had been shipped to Cuba, but no warheads. The Soviet ships carrying warheads were stopped by the US Naval quarantine, then turned around.
What is the US worried that agitated Russian nuclear scientists might do?
intentionally launch nuclear weapons against it.
Why are nuclear weapons a good thing?
Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
