Satellites

The fate of the world changed when the space race happened in the mid 1900’s. The space race was really important because it helped make headway in space discovery. There might not be space stations or satellites if it didn’t happen. Not only was it a competition between different countries, but it helped scientists from all over the world learn more about outer space! The Space Race Era took place between 1957 and 1990. President Eisenhower created NASA in 1958 and the mission was to advance…

There are 7 different types of networks that you could work with, such as A LAN network (Local Area Network) or WAN network (Wide area network) those are the two most commonly used networks. The other included…

scalpel it’s essential that the scalpel does not hurt the patient or the surgeon (Safety). It’s also important that the scalpel follows the instructions of the surgeon precisely (Reliability).

the moon? Scientists have long known that the moon would experience considerably higher tidal effects, but have never found obliquity distortions that would result of Earth’s gravity. From data collected by LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter), a satellite that was launched to the moon in 2009, scientists have determined that the moon is has contracted slightly. During its formation, the moon’s crust was supported by pockets of hot, pressurized air and magma,…

NASA’s greatest success is most usually attributed to the moon landings, however the accomplishments of the government space program go far beyond just that. Created by President Eisenhower in 1958, NASA’s mission was to provide America with research into outer space flight, and was created during the Space race and Cold War with the Soviet Union, which was a power struggle and race for arms and was caused by the distrust between America and the USSR, and the tension that was caused by the…

and the strict standards of screen quality lead to higher resolution in other television broadcasting standards that were adopted later around the world. Mittell also talks about the proliferation of satellites and their effect on production and television consumption practices. He argues that satellite technology helps to bring the world closer together by eliminating geographical boundaries, which allow television and other communication systems to travel the globe…
