Saturn V

The Apollo Program’s Unknown Savior The space race was a long and complicated time in history in which many people became well known for their contributions to science and the space race. One of the most well-known is JFK, but his Vice President, Lyndon Baines Johnson, was as much of a force in making the American space program great if not a greater force than the President. Although the space race isn’t officially considered to have started until 1957, the race actually began at the end of World War two. After the Germans surrendered, the USSR and America rushed to capture Germany’s top rocket scientists to attempt to catch up with the German’s V-2’s. Both the U.S and the USSR captured German rocket scientists, but…

launched in 1997 from Cape Canaveral, FL. It had to travel 2 billion miles to get to Saturn, which was its destination. The Cassini was powered by a radio-isotope thermal which had nuclear power. A lot of the scientists were worried that it would explode during the launch and cause a nuclear disaster.…

Saturn is a very cool planet it has rings around it that are little broke up pieces that are made of; small rocks, icy braked up bits, and some space junk. Saturn is also the sixth planet and it is not really far from the sun, Saturn also has sixty-two moons. Some planets have more than one or two moons some have none at all. They also call this planet a “Gas giant”. The other gas giants are Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter are also gas giants. One of the moons named the “Cassini” accidentally went…

Origins The Voyager program began in the 1965 with Gary Flandro’s discovery of a rare planetary alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that would occur in 1977. This alignment occurs only once every 175 years. The Grand Tour as the program was called had launch windows between 1976 and 1980. The original idea of the Grand Tour was to send four probes to ultimately visit every planet in our outer solar system. In 1971 funding for the Grand Tour program was canceled in the 1973 NASA…

Since the launch of Cassini in 1997, its images have fascinated people and scientists with their beauty and complexity. For its latest mission, the best choice for Cassini's camera is Jupiter and its orbit. This is because it has been 25 years since a photo of Jupiter like this has been taken so this picture will provide valuable information to exoplanet researchers by showing us how planets with atmospheres look from one billion miles away. One of the reasons why Cassini should take this…

data back to Earth. Hopefully, each instrument really works each other and helps us to reveal mysterious veiling of Titan. Before we introduce the mission, we would like to share much basic knowledge about Titan’s atmosphere that can help us to understand better. Currently, a fact we have already known about Titan, which is the moon of Saturn. Therefore, there is no doubt that Titan has own atmosphere that is not because Saturn is Jovian planet, which made of a large number of gas. According to…

object like, the planet Saturn keeps this constant speed, it thus keeps a constant momentum, since the system is conserved. This conserved system of the planet Saturn would be referred to as angular momentum, since Saturn rotates about an axis. Saturn is also known for it’s massive thunderstorms, which have created angular momentum changes to suppress the planet to cyclones. Saturn’s changing of angular momentum, comes from uprising thunderstorms, beta-drifting and it does not necessarily always…

Visual Perceptual/Visual Motor Deficit is a specific learning disability that causes students to struggle with cutting and pasting, difficulty holding pencils and poor hand/eye coordination. This learning disability can cause students to have frequent headaches or to struggle with learning new material. The third grade science lesson plans covers the Solar System and the order of the planets. The outcome of this lesson plans is for the students to gain knowledge about the Solar System and be…

Jupiter Jupiter is often referred to as “Gas Giant” due to it being the largest planet in the solar system as well as its composition of primarily hydrogen and carbon. The planet has an average temperature of -145 degrees Celsius. Its full name of Jupiter comes from the king of the Roman gods. Galileo Galilei discovered Jupiter along with its four largest moons on January 4th 1609. The planet’s iconic red, white, brown, and yellow stripes are due to regional changes. The white and yellow…

next flagship mission we have is called Gigantas I. Gigantas is the word Enceladus in Greeks, which means a very bright satellite of Saturn. By sending a space orbiter and a lander to the sixth largest moon of Saturn and the brightest world in the solar system (NASA, 2015), We can easily accomplish this researching mission and bring lots of valuable data back to earth. Enceladus, with approximately 310 miles diameters, is one tenth of the Saturn’s largest moon. (NolaTRedd, 2016) It was first…
