Jet Propulsion Laboratory

The Cassini mission is managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, where the orbiter was designed and assembled. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology. Development of the Huygens Titan probe was managed by the European Space Technology and Research Center, whose prime contractor for the probe is Alcatel in France. Equipment and instruments for the probe were supplied from many countries, including the United States. The Cassini program is a 19-year…

At least part of the transit, which only happens about 13 times every century, will be visible across the Americas, Europe, Africa and large portions of Asia. If you're hoping to watch it, eye protection is key. NASA stresses that "viewing this event safely requires a telescope or high-powered binoculars fitted with solar filters made of specially-coated glass or Mylar." You won't be able to see the tiny dot of Mercury on its celestial crawl without magnification, NASA says. Another option:…

control of The New York Times (Andress, J., Winterfeld, S., & Rogers, R. 2011, p.5).. This century the best weapon is information, who ever uses it has the upper hand. On November of 2011, a group of hackers from China hacked their way in to Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and took over control of 23 space missions some of the destinations include Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In March of 2011, the Department of Defense (DOD), revealed 24,000 documents were copied by hackers. Private companies like The…

Rise of the Rocket Girls beings with the telling the start of the California Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). In 1940 when the men working at JPL where shooting rockets out of dry Canon in Southern California they needed help figuring out calculations. One of the men was married to a woman named Barbara Cartwright. She was really good at numbers. Barbara Cartwright calculated speed, Trajectory, combustion among many other things that helped with rocket and propellant development. Her findings…

The Cassini Orbiter Quite a few people don’t know much about space or satellites. So I am here to clear it up a little bit. Many people believe that satellites and orbiters are the same thing; they similar but work and give different information. The satellite work Throughout this paper you will learn about the Cassini orbiter, what it does and is meant to do, about its missions, and how it all started. The Cassini was launched in 1997 from Cape Canaveral, FL. It had to…

Many Americans go through their days not without the knowledge that they are facing commodities that pay its derivation, to some degree, to some NASA project or other astronomical research. This is particularly true when one is thinking about the medical field and a lot of its advancements. Various medical innovations are the result of NASA 's collaborations with other examiners, and others were derived as a result of NASA researchers who recognized significance in findings and mechanics they…

nucleus and measure the content as well. Even though it can do such magnificent things, it only weighs a mere 3.1 kg (6.8 lb). Along with that, it only uses 2.9 watts. ALICE was built and operated by the Southwest Research Institute for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Additionally, Rosetta also has CONSERT which stands for Comet Nucleus Sounding Experiment by Radiowave Transmission. The purpose for CONSERT is to provide information about the deep interior of the comet. Using a radar, it…

Project 3: Grounding the Space Industry The space industry, the mysterious agency where billions of dollars are funding it, however the most useful thing to come out of it is a picture of another galaxy. Therefore, it is not encouraging when taxpayer’s money goes into a program that has little intrinsic value when the money and resources could be going to governmental departments that give back to the people. Therefore, if the space industry stopped receiving funding for frivolous matters such…

yields due to GPM IMERG rainfall, GPM and SMAP synergy, interactions of GPM IMERG rainfall forcing with crop process dynamics (e.g., phenology, growth), and interactions among weather variables, and their overall influence on the crop. We at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), for a NASA SERVIR project, have…
