Space Exploration
Across
- 2. A space probe designed to land softly on an astronomical body
- 5. A small natural or artifical object that orbits a larger astronomical body
- 7. A large artificial satellite used as a long-term base for manned operations in space
- 10. Any rocket launch that does not gain enough speed to enter orbit
- 11. An unmanned space vehicle that follows a oneway path from Earth for the purpose of exploring space or another celestial object
- 12. A manned Earth satellite designed to be a permanent human habitat and laboratory in space
- 13. A telescope that uses only lenses and refraction to gather light
- 14. A telescope that detects objects in space that emit radio waves
Down
- 1. A vehicle used for traveling in space
- 3. An optical instrument designed to make distant objects appear nearer, containing an arrangement of lenses, or of curved mirrors and lenses, by which rays of light are collected and focused and the resulting image magnified
- 4. Currently the only permanently manned space station
- 6. A telescope that uses mirrors and reflection to gather light
- 8. The first space station, which was like an orbital workshop
- 9. An artifical object powered by a reaction engine that produces and expels hot gases to create the reaction force
- 13. A type of space probe that is mobile, robotic vehicle delivered by a lander and is designed to explore a planet's surface by remote control from Earth
