... results in pulling the spacecraft back into a circuit of the Earth. At the lowest orbital altitudes, there are some very thin traces of atmosphere which will eventually cause a satellite's orbit to drop lower. Beyond this low orbit regime, a satellite can remain in orbit forever.

... will continue as long as all external forces are balanced. Try this: hold a ball in your hand with your arm outstretched. Why doesn't the ball fall? It doesn't ... feet per second (and ignore the drag of the Earth's atmosphere), the ball would orbit the Earth continually on a circular path. And if the speed is increased, the path ... ball to speed up and slow down as it proceeds around the orbit, but it will continue along the orbital path indefinitely. Now if the spacecraft is flying out into the solar ...
... to orbit and to maintain a space orbit. There is a range of speeds at which the different satellites travel. Because of the laws of physics, the faster we travel the higher up in space we are. So if we want to put a satellite in a different orbit, we make sure that it has different speeds and orientation from those of the other satellites.

Answer ...
Yes. The centrifugal force matches gravity at that particular speed and altitude. In other words, you are being pulled in both directions equally so you don't feel anything.

... will depend on how much thrust our rocket has at that point. And the more fuel we lose, the lighter we are, and the faster we go. In order to stay in space and ...
When you go swimming you are putting your body in a different environment than the normal air. So, in order to function effectively in water you have to learn a new system of ... —you use your hands and feet to kick and move, eventually learning to swim. In weightlessness, it's the same idea. It's a different environment that requires you to ... moving around. One very effective method is to use lots of hand or footholds to stay in one place. It's also very useful to use a wall or chair to push ...
If an astronaut had false teeth, the upper denture would probably stay in okay since it is mostly held in place by suction. The lower would probably float around and be fairly annoying. Astronauts today usually have implants placed if they are missing teeth. These stay in like regular teeth and do ...
... nearly 6,000 satellites in orbit. Around ten countries have launched satellites, but often a country will have a satellite launched on someone else's rocket. There are about 20 countries with satellites in orbit.
