Parts of a rocket
Medium
A rocket is built in stages. Each stage burns its fuel, then drops away to make the rocket lighter.
- The nose cone, or fairing, protects the satellite inside.
- Boosters give extra push at the start.
- The nozzle shapes the hot gas into a fast jet.

How a rocket reaches space
Tricky
Liftoff, the boosters drop away, then the nose cone opens and the satellite is set free.
- Dropping empty stages makes the rocket lighter, so it can go faster.
- The whole trip to orbit takes about 20 minutes for PSLV.

Parts of a satellite
Medium
Most satellites have a body, solar panels for power and an antenna to talk to Earth.
- Gold-coloured foil keeps the satellite from getting too hot or too cold.
- Satellites can work in space for 10 years or more.

Parts of a spacesuit
Medium
A spacesuit is like a tiny spacecraft you wear. It gives air, keeps you warm and protects you.
- The backpack carries air to breathe and water to keep cool.
- Gloves have warm fingertips so hands do not get cold.

Where does space begin?
Medium
Space begins about 100 kilometres above our heads. Satellites and space stations fly much higher.
- That 100 km line is called the Kármán line.
- This picture is not to scale: the Moon is far, far further away!
