Rocket launch

Imagine this, you are watching a rocket launch on tv where SpaceX is launching 6 people to Mars for the first time in history. You hear “10...9...8...7” from the launch control. You can't believe after all these years it's finally happening, everyone has been waiting for it to happen. “5...4...3...2...” The last second before the rocket launches “1.” In that split second you thought the future of space travel could change, but now you see the rocket explode into a fiery blaze. On september 1st, 2016 a SpaceX test rocket named Falcon 9 exploded from a miscalculation with the oxygen. The rocket exploded on the Cape Canaveral Air Force station launch pad. This disaster raises concerns to many people about future launches. After the explosion SpaceX quickly found the problem, it was the super-chilled oxygen that the company uses to allow them for more dense storage. The oxygen was cooled to an extreme -340 degrees and this is 22 degrees from oxygens freezing point at -362 degrees.(Popular science) Supposedly the liquid oxygen flowing through a tube froze and caused the explosion. More safety concerns are raised because the rocket requires the astronauts to be inside the rocket before it is fueled. Traditional methods require astronauts to board after the rocket has been fueled and safety checked. SpaceX were planning…

With Elon Musk’s vision for the future and SpaceX set to achieve great heights in space, anything is possible. But does that include sending out a rocket every two to three weeks? SpaceX wants to launch a rocket every two to three weeks despite last year’s launch pad explosion. With high confidence, SpaceX is looking at a tight operational schedule and aims to pick up the pace of its Falcon 9 launches. With a two to three week schedule, SpaceX would need to rely on a new launch pad at NASA’s…

for space and astronomy. This interest sparked from him seeing Sputnik launch into the sky. Although his dad doesn’t exactly believe in his interests, Homer still persists and follows his dream. That’s what our theme is-never give up on what you love doing. The start of his studies weren’t very easy. His first rockets went up a couple inches (at best), and his friends who were helping him build started to get tired of his crap. More specifically, they were getting tired of how persistent Homer…

a 10 feet deep solid concrete based here was bared wire with 30,000 volts running through it covering the entire wall every 30 ft there were rocket launchers that were remotely operated. Every 100 feet there were grad towers with 2 grad in each. It was built almost over night. Once the wall was constructed trump set about deporting illegal…

and more responsive space launch vehicles. It currently has two different launch vehicles at its disposal the Falcon 9 and the Falcon Heavy. The Falcon 9 space launch vehicle is designed to be reusable. The Falcon 9 itself is a simple two-stage rocket that uses 9 first stage and one Merlin vacuum engines to power attached payloads to their appropriate operating orbit or transfer orbit. The outside of the rockets first and second stage is made of aluminum-lithium alloy to ensure durability…

In the movie “October Sky”, Homer and the rocket boys dedicate the final rocket launch to all of their mentors. Throughout the movie Homer’s father didn't believe in what Homer was doing, his father was so one minded about what career Homer should go into, that he couldn't accept the facts Homer was doing what he loved. Homer still thought is was very important to have his father launch the final rocket, as well as dedicate it to his parents. If I were launching a rocket in honor of the mentors…

For the bottle rocket Terminator, there were three main test objectives. The variables to be tested where the fuel amount for the rocket, the angle of launch, and the nose shape of the rocket. The first test objective was to decide which nose for the rocket would fly better; a pointed cone nose, or a rounded nose. To test this, the rocket was initially made with a rounded nose; after the other two optimum objectives were filled, the nose was modified into a cone nose to test which was more…

was fascinated when he saw a rocket go into space at night and he wanted to do the same thing. He became fascinated in rockets and wanted to build them though his father told him not to. He followed what he wished for and he ended up getting the right team and all the needed parts for the rocket. He ended up winning the science fair and getting a scholarship to college so he didn't have to work in the mines. The rocket was a great success and he was famous for his rocket and what he had…

doing business in 2002 and have come a long way in the industry with the help and direction from CEO. Elon Musk (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, 2015). What makes this company unique is that they buy all of their materials and make all the parts for their rockets and landing pads in the United States. With currently $5 Billion in contracts, they have nearly 50 plus launches in their flight manifest. Their founder was a former Papal entrepreneur…

Rocket Analysis This project was about building a rocket that was able to launch. We were expected to make a rocket with a nose, wings and the rockets body. We could use all the things able to make our rockets fly. But in the process, we also had some constraints were that I couldn’t make the rocket balance the way I wanted it to. And, the materials needed to keep the wings and nose on were too heavy for the rocket. The design I chose for my rocket was simple, I had to use Styrofoam for…
