Satellites

"catch up" to the Russians and therefore there would have never been satellites or astronauts launched into space or to the moon. The United States decided to launch their own satellite, Explorer 1. It was launched on January 31st, 1958. Explorer 1 was developed by the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. The Soviets and the Americans would go back and forth between launching their satellites. The Soviets finally decided to take the race one step…

In The Hollywood of Latin America John Sinclair outlines the various ethnic, economic, geographical, and industrial-commercial factors that, in conjunction, have led to Miami’s status as the “The Hollywood of Latin America”. The primary ethnic factors are the city’s strong Latin influence, bilingual character, and cultural pluralism, established largely by heavy migration from the Spanish Caribbean, making it attractive to Spanish speaking audience. Economic factors include, Miami’s status as a…

coverage in remote areas. As of present, satellite broadband is still the leading provider of network services in remote areas, but due to the high cost involve in setting up satellites systems and the cost involve in owning a satellite phone, this is not readily available to all users in remote locations. In situations where satellite signals are not available due to various factors like jamming of satellite signals, activities of hackers, limiting the use of satellite communication, there is…

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik into orbit. From that point on, the United States and the USSR were thrown into a race to see who could get further into space and develop the technology to do so. This became known as the Space Race. In response, to the Sputnik satellite the United States launched Explorer 1 on January 31, 1958 just four months after the Soviets. Soon, both the Soviets and the Americans were launching larger spacecrafts, with animals and…

A relay is not equipped with satellite and terrestrial antennas but routes tree nodes' video traffic using the WiFi (802.11n) link from source nodes. If nodes communicate over WiFi (802.11n) then connectivity is formed on orthogonal channel using pair of 802.11n routers. However,if nodes communicate over LTE, it share resources over a single channel. For sake of simplicity following assumption is made: \begin{itemize} \item Satellite/terrestrial communication has sufficient bandwidth…

such as satellites, weather, and communication. Rockets can launch satellites into space, and by doing so it gives us a new way to send information around the world. Satellites can be used for communication around the world, from planning military plans, to helping planes and ships navigate, and also can report weather conditions. The first satellite launched in space was called Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957. Without the invention of a rocket, we would never been able to send a satellite…

The 1900’s was humanity's first step towards a more advanced push towards space exploration. A space race, fueled by the cold war in the mid 1900’s, could not have been made possible without the core principles founded by Isaac Newton. Newton’s work makes it possible for humanity to explore further and beyond their own world. Space exploration is made possible because of the work of Newton. Newton’s discovery of gravity and its laws and published work has enabled humanity to venture deeper into…

The Cassini Orbiter Quite a few people don’t know much about space or satellites. So I am here to clear it up a little bit. Many people believe that satellites and orbiters are the same thing; they similar but work and give different information. The satellite work Throughout this paper you will learn about the Cassini orbiter, what it does and is meant to do, about its missions, and how it all started. The Cassini was launched in 1997 from Cape Canaveral, FL. It had to…

The Cold War After the conclusion of the second world war, the US and the USSR stood at a tense stalemate. This period between 1945 and 1991 is commonly referred to as the Cold War. During the Cold War, the American economic ideology of Capitalism clashed with the Russian Communism. Although this period is called the Cold War. No bullets were fired. No blood was shed. Instead, the Cold War Was fought using technological innovations. These advancements stood to symbolize the respective power of…

On the contrary, critics argue that funding of space exploration has some drawbacks. Most people believe that NASA’s activities consume too much taxpayer money from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The public also believes that NASA’s $17.647 billion budget on space technology is not being justified neither does it reap any benefits. However, this is a completely false allegation. NASA’s projects do not require a lot of funding as people think. According to Piantadosi (2012), “NASA’s large federal and…
