Spacecraft

According to a study engineered by NASA (2011), orbital debris has reached a point where it has become hazardous to astronauts and space crafts travelling around the orbit. Even the smallest of these air pollutants can damage or completely destroy a spacecraft in the case of collision(s). The Kessler syndrome predicts that space junk collisions will become more frequent hence creating a series of effects that will eventually make the earth’s orbit crowded with orbital debris (Hall 11). A dense…

objectives regarding Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. The probe was made to withstand landing and collect as much information as possible. The design enabled the probe to brake while descending into Titan’s atmosphere followed by parachuting the remaining spacecraft equipped with instruments to the moon’s surface. Engineers were uncertain where the landing site would be and enabled the probe with different features making it capable of landing on rugged terrain, flat terrain, and in water. The…

Try not to float away! Space is pretty big, 435,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 KM or 46 billion light years away to be exact. Who knows what is out there. It also has zero gravity so you probably would not be stable at all. Who knows what can happen. Why does this matter? Because space should not privatized. It should not be privatized because multiple lives have been lost while on space missions, it should not be ran by undercover organization that no one knows and last space should not be used…

Is that really possible for us to travel to and live in another planet? I do appreciate the huge effort put by the tones of scientist who have been working so days and night to figure out the new possible place for human to live. But, I am really doubt the feasibility of this choice, which might also be our possible choice. Also, another well-known unknown, is there other lives on Mars? Is there aliens which might pose threaten on our life? Will they really welcome us to invade their home?We…

It might be possible for people to stay outside in a snowy day without winter clothes for a while but it is sure not possible for them to survive in the harsh atmosphere of space without the proper clothing and protection from the physical and chemical conditions of space even for a minute. Many engineers have done a lot of work for a very long process of time to make the space suits which can protect humans in space. space is a very hostile and strange place for humans but in order to explore…

rover. All Missions performed from NASA are costly, but all have very important reasons for those cost.The Juno spacecraft will for the first time peer below the dense cover of clouds to answer questions about the gas giant and the origins of our solar system. Juno's primary goal is to reveal the story of Jupiter's formation and evolution. Using long-proven technologies on a spinning spacecraft placed in an elliptical polar orbit, Juno will observe Jupiter's gravity and magnetic fields,…

1958 was big poofy dresses and curled up hair. Red lipstick and thick eyeliner. Men would wear dress pants. Dress shirts under their buttoned up coats and bow ties. Always dress shoes, never anything else. Fedoras as well. In 1958 they launched spacecrafts into space. They launched 28 in the entire year. Explorer 1 was the first one they launched and SCORE/ Project Score was the last. Elvis Presley was very popular durong 1958. He was most noticed in this year and 1957. In 1958, Boeing 707 was…

after the separation of the third stage of the Delta II launch vehicle, and ends when it is 45 days from entry into the martian atmosphere. The single event upsets for this phase include and range from a stray particle of energy passing through the spacecraft, to a solar flare which could destroy the whole spaceship and the more likely event that a small trajectory error can result in a big detour and or even missing the planet…

Editor in Chief USA Today Online Columnist and Editor, Rand Simberg Dear Editor: Re: “Challenger lesson still unlearned after 30 years– Running a space airline to orbit, the moon or even Mars isn't the right job for government.” January 26, 2016 USA Today Opinion Column. I wish to provide a different perspective from the military community with regard to a recent editorial about the role government has in the space industry. The author Rand Simberg, expressed his opinion that with…

opinion that the cost of “ Space Exploration” is far larger than any other cost in the United States. However, according to the data offered by New York Times, even though it seems that the cost of Space Exploration is large, the average cost of those spacecraft is not so large. Take the “Curiosity” as a example, although the total cost of “Curiosity” is 25 million dollars, when divided the total cost by the total population of America, the average cost of “Curiosity” is just 0.41 dollar each…
