Apollo Lunar Module

Apollo 11 was the space flight that landed the first humans on the moon. Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first astronauts involved. Mr Armstrong was the first to step onto the MOON the 21st of July at 2:56 UTC. They collected 21.5 kg of lunar material to take back to earth. There was also another astronaut called Michael Collins who piloted the command spacecraft by himself until Armstrong and Aldrin returned a day later to go back to earth. These were the first astronauts to…

of spaceflight Apollo 13 was left stranded with no power, no oxygen, and no way to return--205,000 miles from home. Immediately, Houston sprang into a frenzy of action. It was clear that entirely new solutions needed to be rapidly found, tested, and executed if the astronauts were to survive. The most pressing problem was power. The command module was running on backup power, but it only had fifteen minutes left. Houston directed the astronauts to make their way into the lunar module,…

I think solar energy would be the most effective energy for the United States to develop. The energy cost has dropped because the technology improved. Although some still argue that solar energy is costly, it is beneficial to the environment because it is efficient, it will not give off harmful gases, and it is easily accessible. Solar energy is powered by sunlight, which converts it into solar heating and electricity. There are two types of solar heating systems, active and passive power;…

sun, called Sol, is a star constantly extruding 4 x 10 to the power of 23, which is 4 with twenty three zeroes following it, which has that energy being converted to a usable source of electricity with the use of photovoltaic cells/modules, also called solar cells/modules. One spaceship, called the ISS, uses decades old solar cells which convert 14% of the sun’s energy into electricity which shows its (the Sun’s light) strength, but the main question spaceship builders want to know is “Where is…

in 1905. Photoelectric effect state that when photons or sunlight strikes to a metal surface flow of electrons will take place. Later photoelectric effect became the basic principle for the technology of photovoltaic power generation. The first PV module was manufactured by Bell laboratories in 1954. Some 5000 years ago, firstly wind power was used to navigate ships in the Nile. The Europeans used it to pump water and grind grains in 1700s and 1800s.The first windmill which generated electricity…

Sasha Gonzalez Ms.Kehler Chemistry Block 3 15 May 2015 Solar Power As of the end of the past century, and now the beginning of the current century, the primary energy sources being used have been harmful to our environment, and are nonrenewable. These energy sources are not going to be on earth forever, so it would be beneficial to mankind to find a new primary source of energy to replace the old ones. Solar power is one of the most abundant energy sources we have on Earth, and each year it is…

Apollo 13 is an exciting movie and a true story. I read the book before watch movie. The story was so much challenging for the three astronauts and they survived their life from death. Astronaut Neil Armstrong is fist man on the moon and his foot down to moon at July 20, 1969. Buzz Aldrin was second astronauts who go with Neil. They flew with Apollo 11. When they landed on moon, people watched Neil and Buzz on the television. People are excited about men who was on the moon and five year old…

venus, and also to the moon. The three most famous missions were Apollo 11, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13. There was a reason that Apollo 13 was memorable. They did not land on the moon or discover new beings, but it is remembered because a huge accident that caused all in America to lean forward in their seats and pray for a miracle that the mission would be saved and three special men would come home safely. In April 1970 the Apollo 13 mission, with Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise, was…

The Apollo Program, led by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), had one goal: to land humans on the moon. “In 1961, President John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to land astronauts on the moon by the end of the decade. NASA met that challenge with the Apollo Program” (What Was the Apollo Program?). The program started with its first attempted flight in 1967, had its first successful flight in 1968, and ended with a moon landing in 1972. Missions 7 to 10 did not land…

intrigued by it. So I was excited to learn more about the Apollo missions with this assignment. The Apollo programs initiated much of our country’s scientific exploration in space, more specifically the Moon. Beginning in 1967 with Apollo 1, which was unfortunately lost to fire during testing, the Apollo missions sought to physically explore what was only observable up until then. Scientists were motivated by their curiosity of what…
