| The movement of a manned spacecraft in free flight is carried out so that its longitudinal axis is always directed along the Earth’s radius. Is the spaceship spinning? Which natural body moves in the same way?
The spacecraft rotates around its own axis with a period equal to the period of revolution of the spacecraft around the Earth. A similar situation takes place in the Earth-Moon system.
