Spaceflight, flight beyond Earth’s atmosphere. This article deals with the basic concepts associated with the launch and return of unmanned and manned spacecraft and their travel, navigation, and rendezvous and docking in space. For the development of s
When n is larger than one, more possibilities open up. L, the orbital quantum number, can have any value up to n-1. When l equals one, the orbital is called a p orbital. P orbitals look kind of like dumbbells. For each l, m goes from positive to negative l in steps of one. S...
Through space exploration, scientists have made many discoveries that have impacted human life; it is responsible for improvements in telecommunications, meteorology, navigation, and many other things that today's society takes for granted. Why is Space Exploration Important? The importance of space ...

Just like boats, airplanes, or other forms of transporation there are going to be some spacecraft that are general purpose and others that are drastically optimized for a specific task. General Ship Types Artwork by R. A. Smith Yes, the line between general ship types and specialized ship ty...
can enter into temporary orbits of the earth and become a natural satellite for a span. apart from these, the earth has many man-made satellites that are placed in the orbit and are used for different applications in communications and information gathering. as the term itself states, an ...
Polar-orbiting satellites also pass over the planet's poles on each revolution, although their orbits are far less elliptical. The polar orbit remains fixed in space as Earth rotates inside the orbit. As a result, much of Earth passes under a satellite in a polar orbit. Because polar orbits...

Astronomers have defined an orbital region around astaras thehabitable zone, in which a planet could support liquid water on its surface and thus could possibly also support life. Earth orbits comfortably in the middle of theSun’shabitable zone. Because of their larger size, super-Earths may ...
