around Earth at about 27 000 kilometers per hour. But there were five missions that went to the Hubble Space Craft. All of the missions were servicing missions where they upgraded the Hubble space craft so that it would operate for a longer time because it was making so many interesting discoveries.The Hubble Space Telescope is unmanned. A unmanned spacecraft is when no humans go with it to outer space. But there were some manned missions that went to the Hubble spacecraft. Even Though you do…
What is a Camaro? That is the question automotive reporters asked Chevrolet in 1966 when they introduced a new automobile model to their line of cars. In this paper I will be discussing the design of the Chevrolet Camaro starting with the origin of the car. Introduced in 1966 as a 1967 model year car, the Camaro has been in production for over fifty years with exception of an eight year gap from 2002 to 2010. This means the Camaro has been made for longer than most other domestic car models for…
How would our world react if a meteorite was on a collision course with our planet and there was no chance of it missing us? The answer is simple: the world would return to its roots. 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…
Dorothy Johnson Vaughan was born september 20,1910 in her hometown Kansas City, Missouri. She was hired by NACA which later became (NASA) December of 1943. Dorothy made important contributions to the early years of the U.S. space program and was the first African American manager at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. As a group of African American female mathematicians who were considered “human computers” performing complex computations and getting data for aerospace engineers.…
was the year 2025. All rocket engines still relied on the same traditional rocket engines for launch; the same technology as the 1960s. A new way to propel rockets was needed to make rockets efficient and affordable. The traditional engines could not carry huge payloads and used a lot of fuel, affecting the environment. All the space tourism companies had to sell tickets for $100,000 or more due to the rising costs of fuel, so only the wealthiest could afford going on a space vacation. One day,…
month trip, and possible problems with the spacesuit. On Mars the atmosphere is made of carbon dioxide so if you forgot to put on your space helmet and decided to just go take a walk, you would die. Also, being in space can make you have all- timers witch makes you forget a lot of things, so if you had all-timers you could walk out of the space shuttle. Going…
years– Running a space airline to orbit, the moon or even Mars isn't the right job for government.” January 26, 2016 USA Today Opinion Column. I wish to provide a different perspective from the military community with regard to a recent editorial about the role government has in the space industry. The author Rand Simberg, expressed his opinion that with the tragedy of the Space Shuttle Challenger the government via NASA should not be the leader in charge of our space program. While…
% Intro The future of space for both scientific and commercial missions is threatened by the escalating dangers of space debris. If an effort to remove debris does not take place soon, a "snow-ball effect" where satellite fragmentations cause further collisions leading to a dramatic increase in space debris \cite{ion}. As of 2007, nearly half of all Earth satellites are debris \cite{old}. %TODO finish intro %TODO where is space debris a problem? % History %TODO go more in-depth and…
had 14,095 milion dollars in federal funding.Now today the NASA program has 19,300 million in federal funding. I personally believe that the NASA program should have more to spend on space projects and research. This could help the next generation and the rest of our generation's knowledge on what is really out in space and the universe. The reason the funding is split up in so many different…
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…
