On the right an image of the Sun shows a helium emissions, and there is an image on the left showing emissions from iron. One application for spaceflight is to take observation hindered or made more difficult by being on Earth's surface. Skylab included a massive crewed solar observatory that revolutionized solar science in the early 1970s using the Apollo-based space station in conjunction with crewed spaceflights to it. 13305: 1865:. Suborbital spaceflight over an intercontinental distance requires a vehicle velocity that is only a little lower than the velocity required to reach low Earth orbit. If rockets are used, the size of the rocket relative to the payload is similar to an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). Any intercontinental spaceflight has to surmount problems of heating during atmosphere re-entry that are nearly as large as those faced by orbital spaceflight. 11569: 11533: 11415: 13440: 13317: 12720: 12684: 12324: 12259: 5831: 11629: 13404: 13178: 12732: 12696: 12661: 12312: 12049: 3478: 13604: 12271: 11581: 11473: 13525: 13501: 13416: 13281: 13214: 13202: 13147: 12791: 12767: 12744: 12073: 12018: 4726: 13585: 12903: 12846: 13353: 13269: 13135: 13123: 13111: 13097: 13085: 12247: 11439: 12884: 12061: 12030: 3464: 404: 11689: 11379: 13257: 11653: 11545: 11451: 11427: 11241: 12827: 12815: 12803: 13478: 12283: 11677: 13549: 13365: 13238: 13226: 12393: 11665: 11557: 11485: 11229: 13293: 13845: 13833: 13466: 13454: 13428: 12649: 12620: 12525: 12513: 12494: 8676: 2320: 1546: 8688: 2457: 1778: 2047: 1880: 1567: 3794:

Berthing, by contrast, is when an incoming spacecraft is grappled by a robotic arm and its interface mechanism is placed close to the stationary interface mechanism. Then typically there is a capture process, coarse alignment and fine alignment, and then structural attachment.

Our space weather is a consequence of the behavior of the Sun, the nature of Earth's magnetic field, and our location in the Solar System." 11068: 2624:

1480:. Based on this theory, reentry vehicles present blunt shapes to the atmosphere for reentry. Blunt shapes mean that less than 1% of the kinetic energy ends up as heat reaching the vehicle, and the remainder heats up the atmosphere. 597:. Used upper stages or failed spacecraft, however, often lack the ability to deorbit themselves. This becomes a major issue when large numbers of uncontrollable spacecraft exist in frequently used orbits, increasing the risk of 1801:, in which case a suborbital flight will last only a few minutes, but it is also possible for an object with enough energy for an orbit to have a trajectory that intersects the Earth's atmosphere, sometimes after many hours. 2423:
