International Space Station

The International Space Station is a large satellite that orbits our Earth. From about two-hundred twenty miles above the Earth, this structure is a home to many astronauts. This station orbits the globe every ninety minutes at a speed of seventeen thousand five hundred mph. The ISS is one of the brightest objects in space and could outshine Venus. It is possible to see the large satellite from Earth without a telescope. This space structure is not only a home, but also a science lab that many countries worked together to build. The building of the International Space Station was by a team of many countries. These countries included the United States, Japan, Canada, Russia, and those from Europe. As a group, first starting from Russia in the year of 1998, they launched each part of the ISS separately. Each piece made a satellite about the size of a football field, and it revolves around our Earth. Over one hundred parts were launched out of our planet. Accordingly about two years later in 2000, the first crew boarded the station. Consequently, after the ISS was completed, many astronauts have continued to live in the structure. The first crew to inhabit the International Space Station was a party of three members.This crew composed of Space Station commander Bill…

Ever since 624 B.C., humans have always dreamed of space and all of its wonders. Thales was a Greek philosopher that theorized that the Earth was just disk floating in a dark ocean. Today humans are calling this dark ocean the universe. Ever since this discovery there are now astronomers, astrophysicist, and astronauts working towards mankind’s greatest achievement: The International Space Station (ISS). IT began as just an idea in the Industrial Revolution later being grown to a huge project.…

become about sixty years later. Space debris has been a very popular subject over the last couple of decades. To be more specific, orbital debris is what this paper will mostly look at because that is mostly man-made objects that we have propelled into space and left there for years. These objects such as retired satellites and rockets orbit around in the low earth orbit. Since no country or nation has really attempted to take their old technologies out of orbit, there has been an increased…

planet. Using the minimum reserved resource from the Mars station, Mark found a way to make fresh water and grow the potato. Despite all the problem and challenges, he was able to establish communication with Earth by using the Pathfinder. While the rescue plan is developing and executing by NASA, Mark accidentally blew up the pressure chamber, which is his potato farm. At the same time, the rocket that carried the rescue supply was also failed to launch. Against all the misfortunes and…

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, better known as NASA, has been around for fifty-eight years now! NASA is a United States government agency that is responsible for air and space travel. It has accomplished several different things pertaining to air and space travel. The biggest accomplishes are: human space flight, first human landing on the Moon, they also have humans living on the ISS (International Space Station), They have sent space probes to every single one of the planets in…

The NASA website has archives of all missions ever performed by them. I chose some of the current missions such as Juno: mission to Jupiter, The International Space Station, And Curiosity mars 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…

What We Need is Another Space Race Between the years of 1968 and 1972, there were nine Apollo missions to the Moon, and twelve men set foot on its surface. Humans haven’t been back to Earth’s only natural satellite in 44 years. Think of the advances in technology that have happened between then and now. NASA doesn’t even have their own spacecraft these days, if they send someone to the International Space Station, the astronauts have to hitch a ride on a Russian craft. The Saturn V rocket…

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…

achieving new levels of discovery. NASA spends an exorbitant amount of money each year on space exploration, but the possible benefits outweigh the government…

impacted by different space relationships? o Figure out what space relationships we are impacted by and what would happen here on Earth if that did not exist? • How are humans impacted through space exploration? o Have the students research how space exploration has impacted their lives. For example, they can look at various experiments performed on the International Space Station and where their results are used today. They could then create their own experiment to be performed on the ISS…
