Shuttle and Station Sushil Shrestha Early study of Space Shuttle began before Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 when President Nixon formed the space task group. The group evaluated the feasible study of reusable space vehicle. During the earlier period, there was a debate on optimal design of vehicle that balanced the capability, development and operational cost. Once the problem was solved, President Nixon formally announced the development of space shuttle in 1972. The inception of space shuttle…

Space exploration has been apart of United States history since the early 1960’s, and has over time created multiple technological innovations that have impacted society beneficially. These extraordinary innovations include advancements such as virtual reality allowing students to explore the surface of Mars, or our solar system in it’s entirety, and medical advancements that will allow the human life to live longer than ever before. The list of beneficial achievements continues to grow everyday…

As astronauts and researchers push beyond their previous limits, they encounter greater perils and expenditures; the mounting challenges are a major concern for future endeavors into space. Keeping proper maintenance and performing repairs becomes more arduous as people advance further in space (Spotts). Unexpected hindrances can often threaten the life of the humans who are stranded out of reach of assistance. Deducing solutions to impediments located light years away becomes nearly impossible…

Since the glory days of the American space program are long past, the role of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration should pivot — from space exploration to space regulation. In particular, private companies — not NASA — should undertake the exploration of space and NASA should oversee these ventures, much as another federal agency, the FAA, oversees private aviation. Private space companies would go through rigorous tests and monitoring period and at a certain point be 'cleared '…

about flight. There are four Exploration Missions taking place. One being DLRE (Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment), MER (Mars Exploration Rover- Opportunity), Mars Odyssey, and MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter). There are two International Space Station Missions taking place, ISS-RapidScat and OPALS (Optical Payload for Lasercomm Science). There is one Aeronautic Mission, which is Dawn. There are four Technology Missions, which are DRS (Disturbance…

1) (a)The part of The Martian i found really interesting was the ‘poop scene’.Mark was on mars with a limited supply of food and water so he has to think fast on how to survive on mars till NASA saves him. Luckily he studied botany and was good at it. Mark thought of using dirt from mars and getting his own waste to fertilize the dirt so he can grow plants, using tarps to cover the mechanical equipment, and using a machine to generate water using fire and filling the room with oxygen and water…

Individuals have been aboard the station since the first time it ventured into space. Since the ISS has been orbiting Earth for so long, NASA is bound to add more stations in hopes of getting more bodies into the barren area of space. The long term test that has been taking place is the effect space flight has on the human body. With lack of gravity Everything…

CHAPTER THREE Klingon 1. Inception of Klingon Klingon is a language made up for popular science fiction television series called Star Trek. It tells the adventures of a spaceship Enterprise and characters on this vehicle. This language was designed for a particular alien race Klingons. During watching the show, we may encounter many alien races like The Romulans, the Ferengi or The Klingons. We can see that they speak in their own language when talking among themselves. It makes watching…

In this exploration the trajectory of a spacecraft from Earth to Mars will be calculated. The aim is to determine the geometrical shape of the trajectory and what type of curve it is. Finding the interplanetary trajectory for a spacecraft is a real life problem, especially the one between Mars and Earth. It is currently solved by sophisticated computers but I am interested in learning how it is done. To do this Newton’s law of Gravitation has to be taken into account. It states that any two…

well past its planned expiration. Sol [a Martian day, 24 hours, 39 minutes] after sol went by, with the lone astronaut traveling in and out of the Hab [the habitat that Mark lived in on Mars] almost daily. Airlock 1 was closest to the rover charging station, so the astronaut preferred it to the other two” (Weir 154 ). Since Mark is left behind. AL102, which is a sheet located in the airlock number 1, is being used more than expected. AL102 is designed for thirty-one sols while Mark has been…
