This reading basically talks about the importance of having own privacy and the harm of surveillance. We have heard a lot of people demanding for personal privacy, but what does it actually means? Privacy is a basis condition where a person can act, speak, write and even think without having anyone there to judge him. A free person is achieved when you are able to stay away from the judgmental eyes of others. In other words, if you believe you are always being watched and judged, you are not…

Fundamentals of Orbital Mechanics This chapter applies the principles of physics for describing motion of artificial satellites and planets which are moving under the influence of gravitation force. It also presents an accurate gravity model for flight dynamic applications (for use in subsequent chapters). 2.1 Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion In 1609 Kepler has presented his three laws for describing motion of planets around the Sun. These laws are empirical because Kepler has found them…

Union failed to waver. Our wartime feud over missiles with the USSR lingered, which then evolved into the Space Race for supremacy in spaceflight capability. On October 4, 1957, the United States watched in silence and in fear as the Soviet Union’s satellite Sputnik orbited far above their heads; an elusive, mysterious blip among the stars. Was this machine capable of spying on our government and military bases? Would it just blow everything to smithereens? For the…

As technology has evolved to make things easier for the user to have what they need, often times it is those intuitive technological features that make our personal information vulnerable to hackers. Cell phones are a perfect example because they were originally invented to be used for both formal and informal communication. Cell phones functionality has expanded to the point where it encompasses almost the same functionality as computers. As a result of this increased functionality, cell…

On March 6, 1716, crowds of people gathered in the streets of England to gaze up at the sky in marvel of the vibrant streams of light that danced across the night sky – an unexplained phenomenon at the time (Fara 1996). This was the first time English astronomer Edmund Halley witnessed this display. This experience led him to publish the first detailed description of what is now commonly known as the “aurora” (P. Brekke and Broms 2013; Bone 2007) (include pic of his drawings). The theories that…

capabilities in a global surveillance and strike (GSS) network, naval ships and air investments and ensuring cyber technology outpaces adversaries. These capabilities are needed based on the current strategic direction and global security environment. Satellites and cyber technology will be part of the design of the system. The U.S. military will be able to strike quickly and remain engaged for increased periods while additional forces move to the area of concern using the GSS system.…

Jonathan Kurz Mrs. Kent English America’s Project Mercury Project Mercury was America’s first space program, and it inspired many Americans. Project Mercury began in 1958 and ended in 1962 (Sipiera 11). Project Mercury was started by NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (McNeese). The capsules used in the manned flights had barely enough room to fit one person in it (42). The first American astronaut in space was Commander Alan B. Shepard of the United States Navy, and he rode…

been a lot of talk about the colonization of other planets such as Mars, and in doing so we become Illegal Aliens, unless we first colonize the Moon. The closest celestial body in the solar system to us, is the Moon, in fact, it’s our only natural satellite. Because the Moon orbits Earth, it’s considered to be owned by the entirety of the human race. On top of that, it’s believed that the Moon actually is a result of Earth colliding with another planet, in the early days…

in a cities and there neighborhoods. Cartographers relay on assessment data for precise information the use of such instruments as topography, and compasses. Some use distant sensing to gather information, sensors that detect radiation, some use satellites. Today there are a multitude of ways to gather information to identify exact locations. GIS -vs-…
