caption_attribution_description: English: The Soyuz TMA-5 spacecraft blasts off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan October 14, 2004, carrying astronaut Leroy Chiao, Expedition 10 commander and NASA International Space Station (ISS) science officer, cosmonaut Salizhan S. Sharipov, Russia's Federal Space Agency flight engineer and Soyuz commander, and Russian Space Forces cosmonaut Yuri Shargin to the ISS. The crew will dock to the Station on October 16, and Chiao and Sharipov will replace the current Station crewmembers, cosmonaut Gennady I. Padalka, Expedition 9 commander, and astronaut Edward M. (Mike) Fincke, NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer, who will return to Earth October 24 with Shargin. Français&#160;: Lancement de la fusée Soyouz TMA-5. Cosmodrome de Baïkonour, Kazakhstan, le 14 octobre 2004. Ce lancement a été réalisé dans le cadre d'une relève d'équipage au sein de la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS). Українська: Союз ТМА-5 злітає з космодрома Байконур в Казахстані, 14 жовтня 2004 року. На борту астронавт Лерой Чиао, командир 10-ої експедиції до МКС і NASA International Space Station (ISS) science officer, космонавт Саліжан Шаріпов та Юрій Шаргін. 16 жовтня екіпаж пристикується до МКС. Чиао та Шаріпов замінять попередню команду, cosmonaut Gennady I. Padalka, Expedition 9 commander, and astronaut Edward M. (Mike) Fincke, NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer, who will return to Earth October 24 with Shargin.
context_page_description: Jet force is the exhaust from some machine, esp. aircraft, propelling the object itself in the opposite direction as per Newton's Third Law. An understanding of jet force is intrinsic to the launching of drones, satellites, rockets, airplanes and other airborne machines.
  Jet force begins with some propulsion system; in the case of a rocket, this is usually some system that kicks out combustible gases from the bottom. This repulsion system pushes out these gas molecules in the direction opposite the intended motion so rapidly that the opposite force, acting 180° away from the direction the gas molecules are moving, pushes the rocket up. A common wrong assumption is that the rocket elevates by pushing off the ground. If this were the case, the rocket would be unable to continue moving upwards after the aircraft is no longer close to the ground. Rather, the opposite force by the expelled gases is the reason for movement.

This repulsion system pushes out these gas molecules in the direction opposite the intended motion so rapidly that the opposite force, acting 180° away from the direction the gas molecules are moving, (as such, in the intended direction of movement) pushes the rocket up.

If this were the case, the rocket would be unable to continue moving upwards after the aircraft is no longer close to the ground.
