The V2 rocket, considered the forerunner of all space capable rockets, only had a payload capacity of 2,200 pounds. The Saturn 5 rocket that sent men to the moon had a payload capacity of 260,000 lbs.
To send up satellites into space to spy on other countries
The first gunpowder-powered rockets were developed in Song China, by the 13th century.
The US and the USSR benefited from captured German rocket technology and rocket scientists, which they used for both space exploration and ballistic missile arsenals.
There is an example of the Germans using the first air launched guided missile in WW2. The Katushia rocket and the Nebelwerfewr were missile systems of sorts. The V1 & V2 Rockets were missiles, the V2 went into sub-space in flight.
the cold war was caused by the soviet union and the USA both having nuclear technology, and that they were both developing rockets that could reach each other, carrying the nukes the main consequences of this was everyone ws scared that they would start world war 3 and a nuclear holocaust the tension between countrys wasnt helped by the "space race" -which was simply, the race to be the first to put a man in space/on the moon ect
Soon after World War 2 rockets were used to carry nuclear warheads. In the space program they are used to carry many kinds of objects into space. But, they are still used to carry nuclear warheads too.
The single-stage rocket can get the payload off earth, but not into space, because there is not enough fuel, and the weight eventually becomes too great. So at some point, the rocket will fall back down to earth. For this reason, most single-stage rockets are missiles.
No there were many rockets launched into space before the Apollo program.The first rockets that went into space were German made V2 rockets from the Second World War.
It's not, very much, except in the sense that both of them have a booster stage that doesn't go into orbit and a payload section that does.
Single-stage rockets can't make it into space, so many of them come back down to earth when they reach a certain height. This is why most single stage rockets carry missiles, so when they fall down again, they cause massive damage to their target.
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
yes rockets take animals to space
no, rockets carry equipment for people in space
Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.
A payload bay is where cargo is stored, like on a space mission to the ISS.
The Shuttle can also carry a 65,000 payload.
rockets move with the control
