Americans have died from spaceflight missions. The first tragedy was from the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred on January 28, 1986, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members when it broke apart 73 seconds after takeoff.…

The Cancellation of Exploration: Bring Back the Funding for Domestic Space Exploration Space, the final frontier. For years, mankind gazed up at the stars, and dreamed of stepping onto the moon.

There are some events, like the crash of the challenger, or 9/11, where people know exactly where they were when that…

“One hundred years ago during the rebellion a class three vessel, The Revolution, went missing in an uncharted star cluster. A month later they sent a team to find the vessel but instead they found a planet that was able to sustain life and was rich with rare elements that was crucial to winning the war. A colony was placed there to strip the planet bare of these elements. The war was won years later, and the people of the colony were forgotten on a planet dying after years of pollution. And…

The Challenger space shuttle was scheduled to embark on its 10th mission on January 28, 1986. It was a project coordinated by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Morton Thiokol, Inc. (MTI). The later company was concerned with the engineering of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs), which facilitated the space shuttle’s lift off. The SRBs contained a U-joint that required O-rings to seal pressure gaps caused by ignition in the boosters (Diane Vaughan, 1989, p. 330). The…

qualitative and quantitative, historical data and compare to colleagues in other countries where research is also being completed. An example of this that students could complete is: Analyzing data through pictures (qualitative analysis) Through using space and ground satellites from all over the world, analyzing them using data, and pictures, the researcher can determine…

The people of our planet would be returning to their homes, embracing their families, worshipping their religion, and praying that a greater power would help us. Proposing that the meteorite suddenly changed its course and missed our planet, how would our world join together through the fear of the event and…

The Orion Shield Project is a project created to develop a stronger new stronger and durable material that can extend the lifecycle of the rocket Shuttle Launch Booster. For this specific project, Gary Allison a former Project Engineer at Scientific Engineering Corporation (SEC), was appointed as Project Manager after graduating with a Ph. D. in mechanical engineering. Gary thought he was ready for the new position and assignment, but the reality was different. He encountered several…

Any Topic (writer's Choice) YourFirstName YourLastName University title . The space shuttle in which the crew sat with the utmost anxiety consisted most importantly of the Orbiter vehicle, fundamentally considered by one Gaston (1991) as the brains and heart of the spaceship. Chyu & Cavin (1978) also described it that it contained pressurized crew compartment in which sat seven enthusiastic team members ready to ascent into the parts unknown. At the forward fuselage of this orbiter…
