Do rockets need fins in space?

No, rockets do not need fins in space because fins are used for stability and control in Earth's atmosphere, not in the vacuum of space. In space, rockets rely on thrusters for maneuvering and direction control.


Why do rockets need fins?

Rockets need fins to help stabilize and control their flight trajectory. Fins help provide directional stability by creating aerodynamic forces that keep the rocket pointing in the right direction. This is important for ensuring that the rocket can accurately reach its intended target.
