When the probe is already on its way and we can neglect the station's gravitational attraction, it won't need any more propulsion and will continue to move as it started.
This is due to Newton's first law: any object will stay at rest or continue its movement at constant velocity when no unbalanced forces are acting on it.
Deep space, as you describe, virtually satisfies this conditions, as any gravitational influencing bodies are so far away, their gravitational pull is negligible. Also, in a very deep space, away from stars, dust and gases clouds, there wouldn't even be much frictional force.
What else can I help you with?
How does spacestation remain in space?
A space station stays in space through a combination of its orbital velocity, which counteracts the pull of gravity, and periodic boosts to maintain its trajectory. The station's speed ensures that it continually falls toward Earth but keeps missing it due to its forward motion. By carefully managing its velocity and course, the space station can stay in orbit for an extended period.
What clearance is required for a fire alarm pull station?
What are pull station clearence requirements
Is it possible that acceleration at an instant does not depends upon its velocity at that instant?
Acceleration never depends on the instantaneous velocity.Acceleration is the rate at which velocity is changing, and the direction of the change.A car leaving a STOP sign at a neighborhood intersection, and the Space Shuttle in theprocess of a delicate orbital maneuver to link up with the International Space Station,could very well have the same acceleration.
After running out of gas three people push their 700 kg car up a hill at an angle of 10o from the horizontal What force do they have to apply to maintain a constant velocity up the hill?
haha alot. they should save their energy and walk to the nearest gas station
If a train leaves a station at 0.0 marker traveling with a constant velocity of 36.0msWhat is the velocity a of the train in kmh?
To convert m/s into km/hr, you multiply by 18/5. So 36 m/s is 129.6 km/hr
What are the sister planets in Star Wars?
In the Star Wars mythos, there are two planets in the Corellian System named Talus and Tralus. They both orbit around the same barycenter, therefore they are "sister planets." There is a space station at the barycenter called Centerpoint Station, which played a major role in the Corellian Trilogy of books.
What instrument measures velocity?
In a car, a speedometer. At a weather station, an anemometer measures wind speed.
What type of work is done by an astronaut?
To get information from planets or fix something on or in the Space Station
How does the space station travels?
The International Space Station travels at orbital velocity which is 5 miles per second, or approximately 17,500 miles per hour.
What velocity does the space station travel at?
According to http://www.esa.int/esaHS/ESA7YL0VMOC_iss_0.html the International Space Station travels at 7.7-7.6 km/s which is equivalent to which is approximately 17,000 mph. J Menchaca
Who governs the antarctic station Casey?
Casey Station is under the administration of the Commonwealth Government of Australia. The Station Leader acts as the representative to administer the rules and regulations as required on station.
What is the value of orbital velocity?
The orbital velocity of an object depends on its distance from the center of mass it is orbiting. For example, the orbital velocity of the Moon around Earth is about 1 km/s, while the orbital velocity of the International Space Station (ISS) around Earth is about 8 km/s.
