• Rockets use the theory of Isaac Newton which is the third law of motion.
• That is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction

Shuttles

SHUTTLES

• Shuttles also use the theory of action and reaction.
• Space shuttles carry their own oxygen, now that there is no oxygen in space.
• The purpose of this shuttle is not only to transport humans but satellites too.
• Shuttles were used to take up materials to built the international space center.
• Shuttles also worked as labs. Astronauts did their expirement in the shuttle.

Probes

PROBES

• It will orbit or land on other planets.
• Takes pictures and videos of planetary bodies.
• It's purpose to explore space, take pictures and collect data.
• It is also used as a camera for astronauts in outer space.

Rovers

ROVERS

• A rover is vehicle designed to move around other planetary bodies.
• It is used to explore the land and to take pictures of its geography.
• Rovers can be made to transport humans along the moon or in other celestial bodies.
• This vehicle is made to find information and it can even collect dust and rocks.
• Sojourner is the name of the fist rover that succefuly landed on another planet.

Space telescopes

SPACE TELESCOPES

• Space telescopes are used to look very closely at the planets and its orbits.
• The world most famous telescope is the Hubbles telescope.
• Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to use a telescope.
• Galileo had his first solid prove that the solar system was a heliocentric solar system by looking at jupiters moons.
