Space 50 years ago Types of Rockets: During the last 50 years, people have used many rockets to go to space. There are 3 major and famous rockets that were widely used. They were Saturn V, Orbiter, and Orion that is planning for its fist launch in 2017. About 50 years ago, we will focus on the SaturnV. The Saturn V got it’s name from it’s 5 F1 rocket engines that provides it with the 7.5 million LBs The launch of Apollo 11 using the saturnV rocket Launched in Florida on July 16, 1969of thrust.…

criticized the first time in 2001 for being remarked as inexperienced, to purchase a Dnepr Intercontinental ballistic missile. Elon wished to purchase the missile in hopes of sending cargo to space.

mastered. Their V-1 and V-2 rockets, designed by Werner von Braun, rained terror across Europe. The U.S. was well aware of this and took actions to seize the German rocket technology. In late 1945 as WWII was winding down, the U.S. intelligence community partnered with the military began Operation Overcast. The operation, more notably known as Operation Paperclip, was a covert operation aimed at capturing German scientists and bringing them back to the U.S. for continued rocket research.…

studied cases of design negligence in history. Its explosion on January 28th, 1986 was the result of a design flaw in the solid rocket boosters. Problems with the design were detected a long time prior to the launch date, however due to a constraint in time, and pressure from NASA management to maintain its frequent launch schedule, the design was not changed. After the launch failure, investigations into the cause of the explosion were conducted by NASA contractors and the U.S. Government. The…

Ariane 5 is a giant rocket produced by the European Space Agency. It took 10 years and $7 billion to produce Ariane 5 and the goal is to give Europe a huge supremacy in the commercial space industry. Each launch of the rocket was expected to hurl a pair of three-ton satellites into orbit by the help of a small computer program. However, an error in the line of code resulted in a devastating crash in the course of the launching (Gleick, 1996). At 39 seconds after dispatch, a self-destruct…

Bottle Rocket Background Paper A rocket is a vehicle that can travel through the air really high and can contain things like water, air, fireworks, signals, flares, etc… The water and air are pushed on the ground (which pushes the rocket up) when the rocket launches. This is called thrust. Thrust is created by Newton’s third law of motion which is , “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” In this case, the action is the water and air pushing on the ground. The equal and…

saturn V rocket. The mission crew sets up and get’s ready for launch in one hour. Thirty minutes later the astronauts: Akerman Armstrong and Buzz Lightyear step onboard of the rocket. “Alright let's keep this mission on track, start launch!” said Camron of the mission crew.

Before the launch, the US had the belief that they were far ahead of other countries in technological developments but after Russia launched its satellite, it was undeniable that the US had serious competition as far as space exploration. With the successful launch of the Sputnik satellite, the US was able to further understand Russia’s…

The Space Race began with the launch of Sputnik, and from then on it did nothing but heat up. The launch of Sputnik did give the Soviets a lead, but The U.S. quickly answered back with the expedited launch of their satellite, the Explorer 1. Now that the U.S. had realized that they were behind, they began making major strides in the field of space exploration. The first change that thy made was creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and immediately after creating the…

than a rocket, but the question is will a rocket without wings fly straight and high? This question is what my team of Jack, Gus and I at Nature’s Classroom decided to test. It was a beautiful, calm afternoon at Nature’s Classroom which I attended with most of my 6th grade class. We could see the bright, clear sky on this beautiful Autumn day. My friend Jack and I walked over to a table in the middle of the woods to begin our stomp rockets class. Spooky said, “Welcome to our Stomp Rockets…
