Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster

in history. It was the day that the STS-51-L mission was the 25th flight launch of the Space Shuttle Program. The mission ended as a tragic, the Challenger suddenly had a catastrophic disaster with only 73 seconds from lift off, the shuttle killed all seven crew members. The Space Shuttle Disaster has a rememberance memorial in Washington D.C in the Arlington National Cemetery. The national Aeronautics and Space Administration will always remember the day that a teacher and six other crew…

flew to space. Sally was born on May 26, 1951 in Los Angeles California. She went Stanford University and got a degree in physics. In 1977 NASA was looking for women astronauts. During that time Sally was still a student still she applied for the job and she was picked. Sally was one of the girls picked out of a thousand other appliers. On June 18, 1983 Sally Ride became the first American woman to fly to space. Her job was to work on the robotic arm. The arm helped put satellites into space.…

Jemison Mae Jemison was a physician, a teacher, and founder and president of two technology companies. She was born on October 17th in the year 1956. Mae Jemison contributed to space exploration by being the first African American woman into space, her technical assignments launch support activities at the Kennedy space center in Florida, and she was a mission specialist. Currently she is an advocate for science. Jemison did well in high school, and attended Stanford University on…

My person is Mae c. Jemison. I chose her because she is so inspiring to other african american female women. She shows them that females can do more than what the society labels them to do. I bet it was her for her because she was the only African american female in NASA at the time. Lets see how her life went. Mae c.Jemison born october 17,1956 in decatur alabama. But considered chicago illinois to be her hometown.Her parents are Charlie and Dorothy Jemison born and raised in chicago. Her…

Yes, I believe the Challenger disaster was a result of groupthink. There were many things presented in the brief reading above that leads me to think this. One sign of groupthink is that members are pressured to go along with the go along with the group. A prime example of this is that Morton Thiokol management advised against the launch, but reversed their decision at the behest of their engineers. Another sing of groupthink is that the members are very concerned with reinforcing the…

Physicists are stereotyped as dull, arrogant, and reserved as they are incredibly intelligent people, who understand things the average human mind could never entirely comprehend. However, Richard Feynman, one of the top physicists of his time, defies those stereotypes by remaining humble and relating to his audience with his genuine passion for science. This enigmatic man skillfully spoke of complex subjects in a concise and simple manner so that his knowledge and love of science was shared…

Ellen Ochoa once said, “Don’t be afraid to reach for the stars,” and she has certainly lived up to the saying. Because of her outer space discoveries and missions as an astronaut, she has not only helped shape Florida history, and that of the continental U.S. as well. She has played a huge role in how hispanic americans have influenced Florida because she defied the odds to become the first female hispanic astronaut, and paved the way for future women and latinos to achieve their goals. `To…

they still had the courage to get onto the shuttle. To emphasize that this was not just a horrendous disaster he said “We've grown used to the idea of space, and, perhaps we forget that we've only just begun. We're still pioneers. They, the members of the Challenger crew, were pioneers.” These people did not die in vain. They were pioneers of space and this was just the beginning of space travel. They helped take a step forward into space. Although space has become less of a foreign idea over…

NASA Space Shuttle is the first reusable space shuttle in the world and used to deliver astronauts and cargos into space and return to the Earth. The success of the space shuttle getting through the catastrophic forces when travelling into space and back again in serviceable form was credited to the ingenious engineers. First, the rocket engineers faced the problem that without any protection, the engines would self-destruct under extreme temperatures when travelling huge distances. In fact, at…

Rockets Rockets are tall thin vehicles that are equipped with an engine. A rocket engine functions by burning fuel. Rockets turn the fuel into hot gas, pushing the gas out of its back, making the rocket move forward. Robert Hutchings Goddard is deemed the father of rocket science. Many have contributed to the develop ment of rockets, but the studies of a certain few have been recognized and had an impact on the world of rockets. Russian Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky published Rocket…
