INTRODUCTION The United States (U.S.) space program began in a period of history when numerous nations were at war with each other. During this period, one of the biggest enemies of the U.S. was Germany. The Germans seemed to have rocketry just about mastered. Their V-1 and V-2 rockets, designed by Werner von Braun, rained terror across Europe. The U.S. was well aware of this and took actions to seize the German rocket technology. In late 1945 as WWII was winding down, the U.S.…

Edward M. Goolish is an astrobiologist and the Deputy Director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, which is a position that he has held for many years ever since 2006. He has served N.A.I. (NASA Astrobiology Institute) or about six years, and he has been the Assistant director for research from February 1, 2013 to August 11, 2014.

The present project is intended to examine space travel and the effects to the general population, the environment, and the astronauts working and living in space. The following report will provide a background and history of space travel, human and environmental effects of space travel, occupational hazards, a literature review, and a proposed study design to further knowledge in occupational hazards of working and living in space. The information collected, reviewed, and analyzed will provide…

navigation system made up of at least 24 satellites. The U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) originally put the satellites into space for military use, yet they were made accessible for civilian use in the 1980s. It is comprised of satellites, ground stations, and receivers. These satellites can tell the exact location where someone is situated. GPS works in any climate conditions, anyplace on the planet, with no subscription fees or setup charges HOW GPS…

Sending a manned space mission to Mars sounds pretty cool, right, and we all have questions like "Is there life on Mars?" I personally think we should give Mars a visit because think about the secrets we could uncover that could be astonishing and so helpful. We could go to see if we can find information about earth or even have success living there would possibly give us time to explore longer and collect more. Imagine living up there in a sustained area waiting for whatever comes next. Now…

The immeasurable space surrounding the Coruscant-Metello trade route was just as busy as it usually was. All things considered, no irregularities usually appeared on the route, yet the regular inhabitants tasked with exploring barely bat an eye, regardless of a few ships coming from the distant core worlds. Presently, peculiar for a brief time, the deep chasm of space gave way for the hull of a small republic transporter just above the expansive orbit of the planet; jumping out of hyperspace for…

The Martian, by Andy Weir, is a novel that is extremely comical and surprisingly, scientifically accurate. The Martian chronicles the tales of Mark Watney, a NASA astronaut who was left stranded on Mars after his crew presumed he was dead. Mark Watney uses his engineering and botany skills as a means of surviving on the barren planet that is Mars. In Watney’s stay on Mars, he must determine how to make more food, how to make more water, and ultimately, how to got off of Mars. The Martian obtains…

Abstract The NASA Challenger STS 51-L accident is an archetypal example of a disaster with no clear scapegoat. While it is easy to simply blame the management for disregarding engineers’ warnings about the safety of the mission, this analysis of the Challenger Disaster is erroneous because it fails to consider other factors such as a flawed communication system. In order to comprehensively analyze the ethical violations that led to the Challenger accident, we must consider the scenario…
