Question

Describe how an artificial satellite using two stage rocket is launched in an orbit around the Earth.

Answer 1

1. Launching of a satellite in an orbit around the Earth cannot take place by use of single stage rocket. It requires minimum two stage rocket.

2. With the help of first stage of rocket, satellite can be taken to a desired height above the surface of the Earth. 

3. Then the launcher is rotated in horizontal direction i.e.. through 900 using remote control and the first stage of the rocket is detached. 

4. With the help of second stage of rocket, a specific horizontal velocity (v_h) is given to satellite so that it can revolve in a circular path around the Earth. 

5. The satellite follows different paths depending upon the horizontal velocity provided to it.
