Orbital

During the time of Isaac Newton, changes of how people perceived scientific theories of how the motion of Earth was described, and the math concepts previously known as fluxions and infinitesimal calculus became a major branch in the today’s math curriculum. Isaac Newton is known as one of the greatest mathematicians of the 17th century Scientific Revolution for his contribution to modern physics by writing one of the major journal entries for science today, Principia. Isaac was a peculiar…

shares the name alkaline because, when dissolved in water, they form basic solutions, or solutions with a pH value greater than 7. Transition metals are located in groups 3 - 12. These elements are specifically categorized for having an incomplete d orbital. Non-metals are found in groups 1, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. These elements are not metals and are usually not very good conductors. Nonmetals includes the noble and halogen gases on the periodic table. These elements are most likely gases at…

The US military had already been using satellites to communicate internationally for five years before that ability was made public. They were using satellites that are classified as Geostationary, this is because they have a orbital period that is the same as the rotation rate of Earth. A Geostationary satellite is approximately 22,236 miles from the surface of Earth (Martin, 2007). Putting this into commercial use made it so towers did not have to track the satellite across…

1. Executive Summary This project describes an orbital space settlement called the ‘Interstellar Terrarium’(IST). It can house upto 50,000 people along with all the necessities. It takes the shape of a cylinder, to which support is given by a framework of strong carbon nanotubes that can bear the pressure of the walls, the atmosphere inside and the foundations for buildings, and thus prevent the walls from getting bowed outwards. The entire cylinder is divided into three concentric cylinders –…

Jupiter the biggest planet in our solar system! It is the 5th planet from the sun. It is the 4th brightest planet. Jupiter was first discovered by Pioneer 10. After Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Ulysses visited Jupiter. Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. Jupiter has a combination of hydrogen and helium. With traces of water, Methane, Ammonia and rock. Jupiter has a similar composition to Saturn but Jupiter most likely has a core of rocky material. Jupiter has a mass 1.8986*10(27)…

% Intro The future of space for both scientific and commercial missions is threatened by the escalating dangers of space debris. If an effort to remove debris does not take place soon, a "snow-ball effect" where satellite fragmentations cause further collisions leading to a dramatic increase in space debris \cite{ion}. As of 2007, nearly half of all Earth satellites are debris \cite{old}. %TODO finish intro %TODO where is space debris a problem? % History %TODO go more in-depth and…

carbon atoms on the two dimensional plane, leaving one electron freely available in the third dimension for electronic conduction. These highly mobile electrons are called pi (π) electrons and are located above and below the graphene sheets. These pi orbitals overlap and help to increase the carbon to carbon bonds in graphene. Fundamentally, the electronic properties of graphene is explained by bonding and anti-bonding (the valance and conduction bands) of these pi…

Its 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…

direction from the sun in respect to the Earth. When an object in space is in Opposition, it is as close to the Earth as it goes, and therefore, it is the easiest time to study it. Kepler’s third law, the law of harmonies, can be used to determine the orbital period of the planet. According to the law,…

Martyn’s entrance turned heads when he walked into the crowded restaurant. It was only for a furtive glance though. The diners quickly returned their attention back to the plates in front of them. As if they were not interested. Yet a shift in the atmosphere was marked by the stillness descending on the room. The conversation had stopped. Many of the diners looked as though they were shrinking like turtles into their jackets and chairs. Hoping they would not be singled out for a glance from the…
