What else can I help you with?
When did they used Rockets in World War 2?
To send up satellites into space to spy on other countries
Why were the first rockets built?
The first gunpowder-powered rockets were developed in Song China, by the 13th century.
After World War 2 what two countries benefited from the rockets?
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.
Did they use missiles in world war 2?
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.
What did landing on the moon have to do with the cold war?
In 1960 the "space race" began between the US and Soviets. Both worked to get to the moon first and in 1969 the US landed on the moon. The Soviets never have landed. The space race was just another outcome of the Cold War. The ability to launch a rocket has military advantages whether it has a payload for space or for military uses.
What changes in payload have rockets had from world war 2 to the space age?
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.
How is the space shuttle different from rockets?
The space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft that can launch like a rocket but can also land like an airplane. Rockets are typically one-time use vehicles that are not designed to return to Earth intact. Additionally, the space shuttle can carry astronauts and cargo to space, whereas rockets are mainly used for payload delivery.
How do single stage rockets get payload off Earth?
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.
How is the space shuttle like the Saturn V rockets?
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.
What of these characteristics of a missile differs from a rocket?
Missiles are guided, self-propelled weapons designed to deliver a payload to a specific target, while rockets are generally unguided vehicles used for propulsion or atmospheric research. Missiles usually carry warheads, while rockets are often used for space exploration or scientific research without the intention of delivering a payload.
What part of the rocket reaches space?
The payload, which is the actual payload, is the part of the rocket that reaches space.
What were multistage rockets used for?
Multistage rockets are used to reach higher speeds and altitudes by shedding weight as each stage burns out. They are commonly used in space exploration to launch satellites, spacecraft, and astronauts into orbit and beyond. The stages separate in sequence and the next stage ignites to take the payload further into space.
How does single stage rockets get payload back to earth?
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.
Will rockets work in space?
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
What do all rockets have in common?
All rockets have a propulsion system that allows them to move in space by expelling a high-speed jet of gas in the opposite direction from the desired direction of movement. They also have a control system to steer the rocket and keep it on its intended path. Additionally, they typically contain a payload, such as a satellite or spacecraft, that is transported into space.
Do rockets take animals to space?
yes rockets take animals to space
How does rockets aid in space exploration?
Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.
