because there moons. D to the uh
None were.
Rockets were first used to help people in the form of transportation. The first manned rocket flight took place in 1961 when Yuri Gagarin orbited Earth in the Vostok 1 spacecraft. Since then, rockets have been used to carry astronauts and supplies to and from space stations like the International Space Station (ISS), facilitating human presence in space exploration and research. Rockets have also played a crucial role in launching satellites for communication, weather monitoring, and scientific research, benefiting people worldwide.
The first artificial satellite launched by Russia (then the Soviet Union) was called Sputnik 1. It was launched on October 4, 1957, and marked the beginning of the space age, as well as the start of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Sputnik 1 transmitted radio signals back to Earth and orbited the planet for about three months before re-entering the atmosphere.
"Sputnik 1" refers to the first artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. This historic event marked the beginning of the space age and the U.S.-Soviet space race, as it successfully orbited the Earth, sending radio signals back to the ground. Sputnik 1's launch had significant political and technological implications, leading to advancements in space exploration and prompting increased focus on science and technology education in the United States.
Apollo was the name of all the lunar missions. The various craft that went were numbered. 6 missions went to the moon and landed on it, which were Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. Each lunar mission spacecraft consisted of two parts, a command module and a lunar module. The command module got people to the moon and orbited around it and got them back to Earth. The lunar module was the part that actually landed on the moon. The 6 lunar modules that landed on the moon were: Eagle Intrepid Antares Falcon Orion Challenger
because it just is ok?
The definition of a "satellite" is anything that orbits a larger body. Moons are satellites (natural satellites), and Neptune has 13 known moons.
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites
Not exactly. The Voyager 2 space probe did a flyby of Neptune, but since it never actually orbited the planet, it can't be considered a satellite. Neptune does not have a solid surface, so nothing could ever land on it.
The solar system has one central object, the sun, which is orbited by a large number of smaller objects, the planets, comets, etc. Jupiter is also orbited by a large number of objects, its satellites, which are much smaller than it.Because Jupiter has about 67 moons.
Never happened.
name of all artifical satellites in the solor system
No. There are no artificial satellites orbiting Mercury, Uranus, or Neptune. Mercury has had artificial satellites in the past that were deliberately deorbited when their missions ended. The space probe Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune, but since it never orbited them, it cannot be considered a satellite. Similarly, New Horizons flew by Pluto, which is no longer considered a planet. The one space probe orbiting Saturn, named Cassini, will be deorbited in September 2017.
In real life, 6
Around 4-5 billion years.
mars is orbited by two small what-used-to-be asteroids called Phobos and Deimos
Neptune would orbit at 111,920,000 miles if the orbit was 96% closer to the Sun.
