Natural satellite

During the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union had many technological advancements. The most notable of all was the creation of the first Earth satellite. The satellite named Sputnik I was launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957 and orbited the Earth for three months. At this moment the Soviet Union had officially started the Space Race and was currently in the lead. During this time the US citizens reacted differently. “From the 1950's, the United States and the Soviet Union…

Technology and science have progressed a lot ever since the U.S. decided to launch the first Earth satellite, or Sputnik. With the help of new devices and well prepared astronomers, we have been able to expand our knowledge in regards to space, starts, planets, and other unidentifiable objects that we are still studying. Yet, even with all the information that we have, we are not yet completely knowledgeable of what other things exist out there in space because there is another world out there…

Asteroids will provide the means to transform future human space exploration and operations into large scale activities. They will first provide a rich source of minerals and material for initial economic expansion and concurrently providing platforms for operations and manufacturing. Eventually, the human race could use asteroids as space vehicles to move itself across and possibly beyond the solar system effectively becoming mobile bases of operations and even space colonies. The only…

Introduction The space hotel is named Caelum, which is the Latin term for space, universe, and heaven. This name represents the future of luxurious travel, taking humans into outer space on an amazing vacation. Not only is this an amazing chance to travel into space and live there for a week or two, but it is also a once in a life time opportunity. Caelum lets the people who have already traveled to all seven continents get the full experience, and travel to a place “out of this world”. This…

purpose was to detect cosmic rays while in orbit; unfortunately the satellite failed to ignite on its fourth stage in its launch process and never made it to orbit. During the time of Explorer 2, the Soviets were also at work with Luna 2, this probe became the first to hit the moon but after 33.5 hours into flight the signals were dead. The US then created another satellite, the fourth satellite by America, and the first satellite to be solar-powered. They created the Vanguard 1, the first part…

defense system that used a nationwide interconnected computers (397). However, SAGE required a great deal of funding to be fully operational. The push for this extensive funding came in 1957, after the successful launch of the Soviet’s Sputnik 1 satellite. After the American public was shocked by what President Dwight D. Eisenhower described as the “Science gap”, the US government perceived an extreme need for missile defense programs such as SAGE, and further allocated funds to allow for…

of Low Earth Orbit Satellites – manmade systems deliberately placed in Earth’s orbit – undeniably benefit humankind, from enhancing scientific understanding, communications, and situational awareness to expanding commerce and development. Correspondingly, low-Earth orbit (LEO) represents the point of entry for the security, economic, and informational benefits humans derive from space because almost every manmade object traveling through this medium – communication satellites, manned vehicles,…
