this is compulsory anyway due to physics.
- apexalpha 7y agoWhy? You could also just use a spring to push it out.
- DarmokJalad1701 7y agoAnd what happens to the rocket from the reaction force from the spring?
- ceejayoz 7y agoNothing, because you used a spring to launch the other satellite on the other side of the payload at the same time. Or, you just use thrusters, like the ones that launched from the Shuttle did.
- TrevorJ 7y agoNot really, the rocket and the payload would have the same momentum unless an additional force is applied between them.
