Persuasive Paper : Juntura Sensors Introduction: What if someone were to say that it was possible to locate and rectify spacecraft damage, to provide accessible 3D printing to the masses and a strong potential of saving lives by helping the global medical industry better surgery success rates; all at a very low cost and with the same technology? Most people might feel that these actions are quite unconnected and there was probably no way of doing either of these tasks at a low cost. But,…
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…
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…
Why did you choose to pursue the undergraduate degree that you did? Please discuss your professional aspirations and how your undergraduate degree will help you achieve these goals. My major field of study is Aerospace Engineering with a concentration in Astronautics. I chose Aerospace out of all other engineering concentrations, as I did not want to be held back by the "burdens" of a desk job. Of course, all careers involve paperwork, but I want to be in on the action. Instead of designing…
1. What is your challenge? The challenge is to create a video and visual representation of the habitation module that will carry the first human crew to Mars. 2. What is a hab? A Hab is the name of the spacecraft that will carry the first crew to Mars. It will incorporate complex systems so that it can provide for living people during the trip using the habitation and Orion module. As well as safely take astronauts to and from the surface of Mars and provide all of the system supplies,…
handle the already growing space debris problem today. Space debris, in this context, is all of the bits of destroyed man-made technology left in space, some of which fall into orbit. While in orbit, this space debris poses massive risks to active satellites or other spacecraft. Some efforts are being made to reduce the volume of debris but they may not be enough. It is entirely possible that a chain reaction has already begun and it is too late…
and how Americans viewed the government and entertainment. Radar was one of the first advances to contribute to the war, then the development of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer that helped develop the fusion bomb. Next, the first satellite was sent to revolve around the Earth, but it was from the Soviet Union, which resulted in Americans drive to develop Explorer 1. It ultimately improved Americans understanding of space. Then lastly the use of television became a way of…
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM The Global Positioning System (GPS) also called NAVSTAR is a satellite-based navigation system made up of at least 24 satellites. The U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) originally put the satellites into space for military use, yet they were made accessible for civilian use in the 1980s. It is comprised of satellites, ground stations, and receivers. These satellites can tell the exact location where someone is situated. GPS works in any climate conditions, anyplace on…
Armstrong once said “I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.” NASA has been sending satellites, space shuttles, people, and many other things into space ever since they were first created, but sending all those things into space isn’t the only thing that NASA has done, they have also done as much as they can to help the people.…
A group of students attached a GoPro camera into a weather balloon The balloon rose up to 98,600 feet before bursting in the stratosphere The unit was found at the Grand Canyon two years after the launch A GoPro camera that was launched to the stratosphere was found to be lying at the Grand Canon two years after its owners lost contact to it. In a report written by Nicholas St. Fleur for the New York Times, the unit, which was attached to a Samsung phone, was told to have been found by a hiker…
