Orbital Launch Systems

Orbital launch systems are methods or vehicles used to send objects, like satellites or spacecraft, from Earth into space orbit. They typically involve a rocket that provides the necessary force to overcome Earth's gravity and atmospheric drag. These systems range from large, powerful rockets capable of carrying heavy payloads to smaller launchers for lightweight objects. Advances in launch systems aim to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and enable more frequent and reliable access to space. Overall, they are essential infrastructure for space exploration, communications, and scientific research.
