Difference between Rocket and Satellite

Rocket vs. Satellite

A rocket (from Italian rocchetto "bobbin") is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle that obtains thrust from a rocket engine. In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit.

Similarities between Rocket and Satellite

Rocket and Satellite have 27 things in common (in Unionpedia): Attitude control, China, Cold War, India, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Landing, Launch pad, Launch vehicle, Low Earth orbit, Military, Multistage rocket, NASA, Orbit, Orbital spaceflight, Propellant, Reusable launch system, Satellite, Satellite navigation, Sergei Korolev, Space Age, Space exploration, Space probe, Space station, Spacecraft, Spacecraft propulsion, Telemetry, United Kingdom.

Attitude control

Attitude control is controlling the orientation of an object with respect to an inertial frame of reference or another entity like the celestial sphere, certain fields, and nearby objects, etc.
