Robotics has, for the vast majority of my life, been a topic of strong personal interest. Being welcomed onto the Ryerson Rams Robotics (R3) team has been a very special opportunity for me. As a member of the science team, I have had the chance to apply the knowledge I have gained during even the early stages of my undergraduate career to solve the problems associated with the science tasks of the University Rover Challenge (URC). Ultimately, the URC science task is to determine the capacity for…

and mathematics, subjects he had previously struggled with in school. He enrolled at the Berlin Institute of Technology, where he would go on to earn a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering. As a student, he joined the German Society for Space Travel, and worked with Oberth on liquid-fuelled rocket tests. Von Braun went on to attend the University of Berlin, where he attained his doctorate in physics in 1934. By that time, his group had successfully launched…

trip Jim friend Ken can’t go with them because Ken health problem and Jim wasn’t happy about it. Apollo 13 the moon adventure trip start from Cape Kennedy in April 11, 1970. When they got into space, the machines and oxygen tank was broke down so that they can’t go to the moon and they need to turn around. If they don’t turn around, they will die in the space because they don’t have enough water, power and oxygen. Jim didn’t like the decision for turn around because they are so close to moon and…

watch an American citizen take their first steps on Mars. "NASA aims to extend human presence deeper into the solar system and to the surface of Mars," states a well-educated member of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA's Journey to Mars: Pioneering Next Steps in Space Exploration" [4]). However, would colonizing The Red Planet be a threat to America's economy and to the lives of brave astronauts? With no prior experience on Mars, there is no possible way to predict what…

In the book “The life of super earth”, Dimitar Sasselov, one of the expert astronomer discusses some of the major findings on investigations of the universe. Much of the research relates to investigations in the laboratory relating to synthetic biology and how it can lead to better understanding of alien life in other planets outside the solar system. The most interesting idea is Sasselov’s claim that super-earths have better chances of harboring life than earth-sized planets. Personally, I have…

worried about absolute and total destruction of the human race by space war? No? Well you should. Currently the United States has in effect a bill that bans cooperation between NASA and the CNSA (Chinese National Space Association). It is the legacy of a conservative lawmaker by the name of Frank Wolf (Fernholz 15). His bill cuts off any funding for work with China, recently the CNSA requested help from NASA for a new joint space station, however due this bill known as the Wolf amendment NASA…

in its attempt to send a man beyond our home on planet Earth. Man had never ventured out into our solar system up until the Apollo program took flight in the late 1960’s and most would argue that this would not have been possible without John F. Kennedy and his bold statement in 1962 stating that “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…” (JFK's 'Moon Speech Still Resonates 50 Years…

『Prologue: Beginning of the End』 In the year of December 2045, A new planet discovered by NASA and JAXA; the planet was so dark, even a single light can't espy and reflected so they decided to enter the unknown planet to discover any life on it. Five days later, Team ϴ-Wings from NASA and Team Σ-Tsubasa form JAXA didn't return from the unknown planet, some said that there were some dimensional breakdown phenomenon during time to time, causing them to travel into a parallel universe, others said…

A drone is any unmanned aircraft that one can program or they can be autonomous. These robots often use GPS technology to be more accurate when preforming a task. Additionally, in most states an individual must receive a certificate of authorization from the FAA before using drones for any purpose other than recreational. The Federal Government uses drones to make citizens lives safer and easier by monitoring wild fires, supporting law enforcement, and training the military. However, the demand…

As technology advances through the 21st century, the world of aerospace is becoming increasingly important. There are many reasons why this region has such significance to our society, with one of them being that aerospace power is essential in protecting our national security. To start, I would like to clear up two definitions: National Security and Aerospace Power. National Security is agreed upon, to some extent, as “ the protection of a nation from attack or other danger by holding…
