After lifting to a vertical position the orbiter atlantis is moved toward the solid rocket booster and external tank below for mating.
What happens to rocket after launching satellite.
Finally all ground support and access equipment is removed and the orbiter is ready to be mated to the external tank and solid rocket boosters in the cavernous vehicle assembly building vab.
Also these rockets travel eastward so if anything goes wrong during their ascent the debris would essentially fall into an ocean s waters far away from densely populated areas.

Ignore the frictional force due to air resistance.
When launching stuff into earth orbit like satellites for example often the last stage will perform the burn to achieve stable orbit and will then be jettisoned.
But the rocket had enough room to carry the 88 doves as well as 15 additional.
Normally the rocket breaks off after the satellite has enough speed and or is in orbit.
A rocket has been fired upwards to launch a satellite in its orbit.
The rocket is normally planned to fall into an ocean to avoid civilian casualties.
The next generation vehicles after the falcon architecture will be designed for full reusability.
Most of the time it burns up in the atmosphere as it reenters.
Name the two forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad.
For multiple stage rockets usually the first stage crashes into the ocean the second stage burns up in reentry and if there are 3 or more stages then stage 3 and so on would eithe.
I don t expect the falcon 9 to have a reusable upper stage just because the with a kerosene based system the specific impulse isn t really high enough to do that and a lot of the missions we do for commercial satellite deployment are.
Launching a rocket from the east coast gives an additional boost to the rocket due to the rotational speed of earth.
A pegasus rocket carrying eight groundbreaking weather satellites is launched into space from a plane in florida.
