CHAPTER THREE Klingon 1. Inception of Klingon Klingon is a language made up for popular science fiction television series called Star Trek. It tells the adventures of a spaceship Enterprise and characters on this vehicle. This language was designed for a particular alien race Klingons. During watching the show, we may encounter many alien races like The Romulans, the Ferengi or The Klingons. We can see that they speak in their own language when talking among themselves. It makes watching…

In this exploration the trajectory of a spacecraft from Earth to Mars will be calculated. The aim is to determine the geometrical shape of the trajectory and what type of curve it is. Finding the interplanetary trajectory for a spacecraft is a real life problem, especially the one between Mars and Earth. It is currently solved by sophisticated computers but I am interested in learning how it is done. To do this Newton’s law of Gravitation has to be taken into account. It states that any two…

well past its planned expiration. Sol [a Martian day, 24 hours, 39 minutes] after sol went by, with the lone astronaut traveling in and out of the Hab [the habitat that Mark lived in on Mars] almost daily. Airlock 1 was closest to the rover charging station, so the astronaut preferred it to the other two” (Weir 154 ). Since Mark is left behind. AL102, which is a sheet located in the airlock number 1, is being used more than expected. AL102 is designed for thirty-one sols while Mark has been…

The three careers that I am choosing to investigate from my major, aerospace engineering, are: propulsion development engineer, spacecraft structures engineer, and spacecraft materials engineer. Of these three, my first pick would be propulsion development engineer, followed by spacecraft structures engineer. Propulsion development is a branch of aerospace engineering that focuses on spacecraft and aircraft propulsion systems. I chose to investigate these three careers as I feel that I would…

A second important study by Barger, Flynn-Evans, Czeisler, et al.25 examined the sleep deficiency and medication use among astronauts. The objective of the study was “to characterize representative sleep patterns of astronauts on both short-duration and long-duration spaceflight missions”.25 The authors conducted an observational study that examined the ISS and space shuttle missions. To assess sleep, the authors utilized actigraphy and sleep logs, which collected data three months before the…

The day before the ride along. October 21st 2016, I was excited for more than one reason. Not only was I going to be participating in a ride along with a station in a city I’d be potentially working for in the coming years. I was also getting to see my family for the first time in 3 months. Having left my car at home for my father to use, I had no means of getting back and forth between my home. Needless to say it was nice to see them all again, but I had to focus on the upcoming ride along. So…

1. Executive Summary This project describes an orbital space settlement called the ‘Interstellar Terrarium’(IST). It can house upto 50,000 people along with all the necessities. It takes the shape of a cylinder, to which support is given by a framework of strong carbon nanotubes that can bear the pressure of the walls, the atmosphere inside and the foundations for buildings, and thus prevent the walls from getting bowed outwards. The entire cylinder is divided into three concentric cylinders –…

Mars and Earth: Same Same but Different "We know how much radiation is out there, waiting for us between Earth and Mars, but we’re not sure how the human body is going to react to it" says Frank Cucinotta, Space radiation health project of NASA (Burgess & Dubbs, 2007). A new adventure comes along when there is no other giant planet and limited space to block during a long voyage to Mars. Mars has always been the final destination that many scientists turn to in terms of colonization of other…

There is nothing quite like flying a plane. It’s something almost everyone dreams of doing as a little kid, soaring through the sky like our favorite superheroes, but most never get to experience it. When approaching the Mooney 201, one might get a feeling of anticipation while looking at the beautiful shape of the cockpit as it slopes back toward the tail. The tail of a Mooney 201 is unique because it can actually be adjusted on its axis. My family owns a 201, ours is the 1983 model and has a…
