occurred outside the United States and followed WWII. Thesis: The Sputnik I was so significant because it was the first artificial satellite to orbit earth and it changed history and communication in many aspects. I. Introduction Attention Getter: In the year of 1885, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky first described in his book, Dreams of Earth and Sky, that a satellite can be launched into a low altitude orbit. 72 years later, Sputnik I was launched. ( Konstantin Tsiolkovsky Intro) Reason to…
existing problems on Earth such as poverty. Conversely, space technology is the catalyst to form other technologies and innovations that are beneficial to our society. For example, the first satellite, 'Sputnik', used to study the orbital measurements of earth had provided new knowledge to develop satellites that are used for telecommunication, navigation…
For PMH to successfully accomplish the strategic initiatives it has developed for this project, it is import to create short and long term plans to achieve its’ goals. PMH’s short term plans for its’ rural satellite health clinic include executing marketing procedures to advertise the satellite clinic to consumers in order to gain community support for the project. Moreover, PMH’s leaders will need to put effective recruitment strategies in place to attract and retain new primary care providers…
Pocahontas Memorial Hospital’s Strategic Alternatives When developing strategic decisions and alternatives regarding implementing its’ rural health care satellite clinic, Pocahontas Memorial Hospital (PMH) must evaluate what strategies will benefit its’ health care center and patient population. Thus, it is paramount when developing strategic alternatives to incorporate strategies from each level within organization including corporate, divisional, organizational, and unit levels (Ginter, Duncan…
screen, and downloadable apps. In the early 70’s cell phone was first introduced into the world as a satellite portable device. The small compact compass satellite works like any other cell phone, but is completely different from the other brand of cell phones.…
on our satellites within all orbital regimes that are critical to national security and everyday life. He clearly articulates that space is not a peaceful haven. Martin shares how our nation depend on satellites in space, and not just our civilian sector, but our military as well. "Satellites are used to communicate with troops, gather intelligence, fly drones and target weapons." Our government and military leaders knows that our satellites are vulnerable to attack. China has anti-satellite…
devices. The solar arrays mount on the satellite in various ways depending on the design and mission of the satellite. The power requirements and the efficiency of the solar cells determines the size of the arrays. The Messenger spacecraft utilized dual-sided high temperature solar array to provide power to the spacecraft. Key Differences between Nuclear and Solar Power. Solar power requires augmentation from another power source during the times when a satellite passes into and out of…
It's October of 1957, and Sputnik “each of a series of Soviet artificial satellites, the first of which was the first satellite to be placed in orbit.” has just launched, and we're at the applied physics lab associated It is Monday morning and all the news just talk about this satellite that’s now orbiting the planet. In the lab there are all of the physics geeks who are thinking that’s thing is incredible. Two of the researchers at the cafeteria table chatting with their colleagues, they…
galaxies were formed, why black holes have such a high amount of gravitational attraction, and are there any signs of life on exoplanets. In addition, I would like to learn about the basic structures of galaxies, black holes, and exoplanets. My satellite will give us more information…
All the technologies mentioned in the pasasages have advanced through time (Metal detectors to mailboxes, airplanes that collect and send information by dropsondes to weather stations, and walking around with a torn map turned infared satellite imargery to LIDAR to GPR). They have had huge impacts on the researchers and explorers that use them for everyday discoveries. But, the most advancing technology throughout time is the tech to find ancient civilization. Many years ago, before we had…
