A rocket is an engine that burns fuel and moves forward by pushing exhaust backward. Rockets operate by burning fuel in a tube.When the fuel burns,the hot gases produced are allowed to escape in one direction only.This causes a force to push in the opposite direction. Rockets do not need the presence of air.Any oxygen they need is in the fuel mixture that they burn. Rockets can be used to place satellites in orbit.The rocket provides the power for the satellite to get into space.Once the satellite is far enough away from earth,the rocket falls off.The satellite then circles around earth on its own. In 1957,the Soviet Union used a rocket to put the first spacecraft into orbit around earth.It was called Sputnik I.One year later,the United States sent a spacecraft named Explorer I into space.These events marked the start of the space age.Since then,powerful rockets have placed heavier satellites into orbit.They have carried astronauts to the moon. Rockets have launched space probes to fly near the other planets.Powerful computers help these spacecraft to stay on course. 9833.
