Can a long pole/s be strapped to a rocket without interfering with the aerodynamics of the rocket? How would a very long thin pole .5 km or longer be transported to orbit?



Can a satellite utilize gravity gradient stabiliazation and passive stabilization together?






launch artificial-satellite payload aerodynamics

          A 500m pole would have a very significant effect on the rocket aerodynamics because it will disturb the airflow above the rocket; increasing the drag. Especially once supersonic.



          The drag would be monstrous, and it would need to survive the strong forces of Max Q, and the high Gs of launch.



          This leaves us with a somewhat inextricable problem, and out good old friend: the tyranny of the rocket equation:



          • To survive Max G/Q it need to be reinforced => It need to be made heavier => It need a bigger rocket.

          OR



          • To survive Max G/Q it need to be launched more slowly => It need a bigger rocket

          However; a foldable/telescopic 500m pole should be plausible.

            The ISS solar array masts are launched collapsed in canisters, and run through a deployer mechanism to erect them as a long straight object. I see no technical reason why a much longer mast couldn't use this system.

                              A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain.
