Satellites

I have chosen to do my research paper on entrepreneur, investor, inventor and CEO Elon Musk. Elon is the CEO of several different companies. The company I would like to focus on is his revolutionary space transport company, Spacex. In 2001, Elon came up with an idea called mars oasis. This project consisted of landing a small greenhouse on mars to observe if crops would grow. To do this Elon journeyed to Moscow in 2002 for his second time, after being criticized the first time in 2001 for being…

Meteorologists are not always right with their predictions about when it is going to rain or not. Joe Munchak is a scientist at NASA who use this system of satellites to figure out how big and severe the storm is going to be. This satellite will help in hurricane situations so that meteorologists know what to prepare for and when it coming their way. This satellite sometimes will show isolated raindrops Munchak says that will lead to bad weather forecasts. NASA in 2014 got a radar that showed…

development of satellites and software systems. Finally, the race's effect also made space the center of politics, as seen through analyzing Dwight D. Eisenhower and John. F. Kennedy’s (JFK) presidential careers. The Space Race influenced changes in art, television/movies. Gallery and museum interiors became “ice-white” cubes; like the clean rooms astronauts use before launch. Andy Warhol added “space-age”…

Effects of GPS Technology in Navigation Since the beginning of mankind humans have used navigation to travel. Whether it’s walking long distances to hunt and gather or sailing out to sea beyond the sight of land to catch bigger fish, man has relied on navigation techniques to return home. Since then, navigation has relatively remained the same without drastic improvement and up until 10 – 15 years ago we were still relying on the map and compass to land navigate. We now primarily use the…

How Sputnik Came to be Artificial Satellites orbiting earth were a dream that the world pushed and pushed to achieve. Something that only happen in children’s imaginations. Something most people only dreamed about. Until October 4, 1957 when the Soviet Union sent Sputnik 1 into space. So why was Sputnik such an important period in American History?? Sputnik was a creation of the Soviet Union and the size of it was surprising to the world. Sputnik 1 was a spherical little pod with 4 antennas…

Currently, it has spread across the world to UK, Canada, and South Africa. Christ Embassy owns a Christian satellite which broadcasts to Africa, United Kingdom , and America. This is one of the networks that touch millions of people. The church owes several television satellite networks called the LoveWorld. They include the LoveWorld TV, Love World PLUS, and the new LoveWorld USA. In addition, the church operates a publishing company that…

race included efforts to launch artificial satellites, unmanned space probes, sending humans into space and setting foot on the moon. The First part of the race was to launch a successful artificial satellite. The USSR beat the United States to this with the successful launch of Sputnik 1 on October 4 1957. The launch was a shock to all Americans which put them under a lot of pressure. The Americans feared that if the USSR were able to launch satellites then they would be able to launch…

Not only are the repercussions of space war on levels equaling that of nuclear the issue of space debris crashing into satellites could start a space war and a nuclear war. Many satellites are used as warning devices for nuclear missiles and would be the logical first strike against the United States to engage in nuclear war, the accidental destruction of one of these satellites could trigger nuclear war alongside the space war. The combination of two nuclear scale events would have massive…

social and civilian way. The concept of ‘drone’ was originally used to refer to preprogrammed aircrafts. However as years have gone by the word has evolved and its meaning has expounded to in cooperate more features ("Humanitarian Uses Of Drones And Satellite Imagery Analysis: The Promises And Perils" 2015). Presently the word refers to any robot that is either preprogrammed or controlled. Drones are classified into many different categories however, most researchers have grouped drones in to…

inventions were created in the 1950’s. The most important of all is the Satellite. The satellite created a way to predict weather patterns and was the first time humans entered space. It was called “Sputnik” created by Soviet Union. Today satellite predict the weather, and are able to spot and see things in space and on earth. With microscopes and cameras. Also satellites revolutionized technology. Today’s cell phones need satellites to work properly. Invention and culture changed America since…
