If an arms race in outer space were to occur the result could be catastrophic. Space is the next frontier, multiple countries are moving forward with space exploration. However some countries are putting their research towards space weapons. This is bad because it could cause a space weapons race. A space weapon is considered different things among different countries. What is agreed however is that a space weapon can be harmful in some way. Space debris is a huge problem in space. Space…

Sputnik 2 is launched containing a dog in it to see if a living organism can survive in space. Two months later the United States finally makes it a competition. They send Explorer 1, a satellite into orbit on January 31. They send three straight things into space, the Explorer 1 and 2 and the Vanguard satellite. The space race is dominated by the USSR until the 1960’s, and then John F. Kennedy is elected president. On May 25, 1961 Kennedy makes his well-known challenge to the people to go…

Introduction The space hotel is named Caelum, which is the Latin term for space, universe, and heaven. This name represents the future of luxurious travel, taking humans into outer space on an amazing vacation. Not only is this an amazing chance to travel into space and live there for a week or two, but it is also a once in a life time opportunity. Caelum lets the people who have already traveled to all seven continents get the full experience, and travel to a place “out of this world”. This…

making nuclear bombs, everyone wanted to be informed if it 's true or not. Then, America came up with the idea of the satellite. This way, countries could watch and see what others are doing. The only problem was, it would have to go into Earths orbit.Which led to many other ideas. Such as going to the moon. When the Soviets heard about this, they were angered of the thought of a satellite. With the equipment to put objects in space, you could launch missiles to the other side of Earth and take…

nevertheless, sought to encroach on Americas claims.This was evidential in the series of launches that Russia launched in outer space during the 1950s. “On the morning of October 4, 1957, Sputnik I became the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth. The Soviet satellite was approximately the size of a basketball and weighed just 184 pounds (83.6 kilograms).” Then “Just as Americans started to get used to the incessant "beep ... beep . beep: ' and just as they were getting accustomed to the…

Gyllenhaal, Chad Lindberg, Chris Owen, and William Lee Scott were the primary on-screen characters and performing artist within the movie; the theme of the movie was: when confronting affliction, never surrender. In October 1957, when the first simulated satellite, Sputnik goes into space, Homer Hickam gets to be enlivened to figure out how to manufacture rockets. With his friends, O’Dell and Roy Lee, and the neighborhood geek, Quentin, they attempt to understand how rockets operate through many…

Asteroids will provide the means to transform future human space exploration and operations into large scale activities. They will first provide a rich source of minerals and material for initial economic expansion and concurrently providing platforms for operations and manufacturing. Eventually, the human race could use asteroids as space vehicles to move itself across and possibly beyond the solar system effectively becoming mobile bases of operations and even space colonies. The only…

Why did you choose to pursue the undergraduate degree that you did? Please discuss your professional aspirations and how your undergraduate degree will help you achieve these goals. My major field of study is Aerospace Engineering with a concentration in Astronautics. I chose Aerospace out of all other engineering concentrations, as I did not want to be held back by the "burdens" of a desk job. Of course, all careers involve paperwork, but I want to be in on the action. Instead of designing…

1. What is your challenge? The challenge is to create a video and visual representation of the habitation module that will carry the first human crew to Mars. 2. What is a hab? A Hab is the name of the spacecraft that will carry the first crew to Mars. It will incorporate complex systems so that it can provide for living people during the trip using the habitation and Orion module. As well as safely take astronauts to and from the surface of Mars and provide all of the system supplies,…

handle the already growing space debris problem today. Space debris, in this context, is all of the bits of destroyed man-made technology left in space, some of which fall into orbit. While in orbit, this space debris poses massive risks to active satellites or other spacecraft. Some efforts are being made to reduce the volume of debris but they may not be enough. It is entirely possible that a chain reaction has already begun and it is too late…
