National Aeronautics and Space Administration, better known as NASA, has been around for fifty-eight years now! NASA is a United States government agency that is responsible for air and space travel. It has accomplished several different things pertaining to air and space travel. The biggest accomplishes are: human space flight, first human landing on the Moon, they also have humans living on the ISS (International Space Station), They have sent space probes to every single one of the planets in…

Rocket Analysis This project was about building a rocket that was able to launch. We were expected to make a rocket with a nose, wings and the rockets body. We could use all the things able to make our rockets fly. But in the process, we also had some constraints were that I couldn’t make the rocket balance the way I wanted it to. And, the materials needed to keep the wings and nose on were too heavy for the rocket. The design I chose for my rocket was simple, I had to use Styrofoam for…

The leaps we have taken to learn what is found in space is quite remarkable, we started out just looking with our naked eye wondering what we were even looking at, to now-a-days where we are trying to answer the question of should we live in space. Scientist, Head NASA officials, and so many more have expressed their personal opinions on what is going to happen next, and one bit of common ground that they can all come to is that money is going to be a main issue. With the International Space…

TITLE Being An Alien And Relaxing In A UFO In Bratislava LEAD PARAGRAPH Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is the only capital city in the world that borders two neighbouring countries, Austria and Hungary. Bratislava and Vienna are the two closest capital cities in the world and are both places that I recommend you visit. You can reach either destination from travelling from the other by boat, plane or train; however, my preference is to depart from Vienna and travel to Bratislava by train…

It might be possible for people to stay outside in a snowy day without winter clothes for a while but it is sure not possible for them to survive in the harsh atmosphere of space without the proper clothing and protection from the physical and chemical conditions of space even for a minute. Many engineers have done a lot of work for a very long process of time to make the space suits which can protect humans in space. space is a very hostile and strange place for humans but in order to explore…

DLR’s mission comprises the exploration of the Earth and the solar system, as well as research aimed at protecting the environment and developing environmentally compatible technologies, and at promoting mobility, communication and security. DLR’s research portfolio, which covers the four focus areas Aeronautics, Space, Transportation and Energy, ranges from basic research to innovative applications. DLR operates large-scale research centres, both for the benefit of its own projects and as a…

1. What are the risks the federal government runs when it depends so heavily on a contractor such as Lockheed Martin for a wide variety of its functions? What are the advantages in such relations? Given how large some of these contractors are like Lockheed Martin, it could be a potential concern for who has control. Some issues may arise in budget concerns, project completion dates, and ownership of projects. As the book points out Lockheed Martin had total control of the NASA program and…

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, says Neil Armstrong. I think that we a letting other countries get further ahead medically and technically. One journey makes us our most famous quote but if we keep exploring we will have plenty of those quotes. That is why he United States of America should be involved with major exploration of space and deep sea ocean. The first thing I am going to talk about is how other countries will get ahead of us in many different ways. The other…

Trajectory and applied force both have very much too do with our rocket lab. Trajectory affects how far the rocket will get beacuse trajectory is a curved path of an object that has been fired or thrown through the air. This affects the rocket beacuse the angle of the rocket that is launched at is part of trajectory and the rocket was launched off of an angled platform so this affetced how high the rocket went before coming down. Another part of trajectory is how gravity affects the objects…

On March 1st NASA had picked me to go on a mission.The mission as to take photos of Venus, Jupiter, and pluto. I left planet Earth to go to Venus on March 5. It took a while to get past the atmosphere and because of everything that was in my ship.I had fuel,oxygen,freezed dried food,plants,water, and medical supplies.After about 43 days, I had got to Venus. when I got to Venus I had taken pictures of it and studied the pictures to see if there was any form of life or anything not normal.When I…
