Apollo 13 was a research mission to the moon. Halfway through the mission, the space ship blew up. America thought the astronauts were doomed, but the people at mission control thought otherwise. They brought astronauts back home alive. They never did make it to the moon. Apollo 13 mission was a success for many reasons. The first reason is that they came back alive. After having half of there oxygen supply blown out into space and there being depleted fast, they pulled through. The reason for…

have always been very curious on what is out in space and what humans are going to discover next. Jennifer Wiles was the page editor to this article. Wiles wanted people to know what NASA is trying to do next and the reasons why NASA wants to study the translunar part of space. This article was well written if her audience was to juvenile readers who are curious on what NASA has planned next or why NASA is trying to explore the translunar part of space. Wiles was on target with her main idea…

1. Introduction: On December 3, 1999, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) lost communication with its Mars Polar Lander (MPL) and Deep Space 2 (DS2) after an attempt to land on Mars. The failure of the mission was a blow to NASA Mars program. The loss of MPL was fully investigated by a Special Review Board (the Board) to prevent the same mistakes in the future missions. Later, the report revealed that when the lander touchdowned, a software glitch might had made the engine…

Space is everything, discovered known places, and also the dangerous unknown. However, when astronauts and cosmonauts return to Earth from space, it take…

But Cruz's first meetings with NASA workers in a Space committee gathering showed a more aggressive part about him. Cruz and Sen. Cory Gardner made clear quite that for them, the main mission of NASA's space exploration, not any of their other scientific pursuits, like monitoring climate change from space and certain things that other countries may have not discovered. It will be more difficult to put people in space if sea levels rise states Senator Bill Nelson of (Florida), of which is one of…

A NASA shuttle orbiting Jupiter has hit another tangle. The space office said Wednesday that Juno identified an issue, went into protected mode and close off its cameras and instruments hours before it should disregard Jupiter's thick cloud tops. Juno rebooted its installed PC and can speak with Earth, yet its exercises are restricted until designers analyze what turned out badly. "It's too soon to take a figure," however the issue isn't brought on by the exceptional radiation belts…

matters worse NASA not only did not return to the moon, but instead focused their resources, time, and effort on the space shuttle program. Which was considered by many to be a failure, however, now with the help of the private sector the…
