made this possible. Sending the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit with the space shuttle Discovery, NASA would make historical discoveries beyond their wildest dreams. Earlier this year they discovered a galaxy approximately 13 billion light years from Earth. Viewing the object at 750 million years after the big bang, scientists have looked into a time shortly after the "Dark Ages," a time before the first galaxies and quasars were formed. This incredible discovery was made with the aid of a cluster
Analysis of HAL's guilt in 2001: A Space Odyssey In a court of law, killing while mentally disabled, killing under orders and killing in self-defense are sufficient justifications for taking another’s life. With this in mind, was HAL justified in killing the crewmembers of the discovery, or were Hal’s actions murderous and should he be brought to trial? Can Hal be blamed? The computer basically has 3 excuses for killing the crewmembers of the Discovery. First, Hal was disabled. Second, Hal was
The development of the Space shuttle has allowed many opportunities to explore the universe. There is so much about the other planets and space that we do not know about. Space shuttles allow people to travel into space and allow things to be sent into space. There has been six space shuttles: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor. Currently they are all on display at various museums and centers throughout the United States with the exception of the two, Challenger and
both the space shuttle program and the International Space Station program have not really lived up to their expectations.” These words by Buzz Aldrin are in my opinion why we should never give up on what we are trying to achieve. That is because once you put your mind on achieving one goal, you must achieve it and make this goal exceed you expectations. What is a space shuttle? The Space Shuttle is a reusable launch and reentry American spacecraft operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
NASA The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, was established in 1958 under the Eisenhower administration. Its main purpose was to act as an independent agency to direct the nation’s space missions and research programs. Over the past 45 years, since its inception, NASA has experienced many problems and has received recent negative publicity. NASA has had longstanding managerial problems on the inside and with outside contractors. They have also failed to estimate costs and
Space exploration can be described as many things, each of us interpret in our own ways. Space exploration, defined by Wikapedia, is the use of astronomy and space technology to explore outer space. Many of us don't understand all of the benefits that come along with space exploration. The ones we are most commonly aware of are the advancing in scientific research and helping to ensure the future survival of humanity. However, space exploration benefits us in much greater detail than
humanity has been exploring outer space and breaking new boundaries. We have made countless of discoveries by traveling space and will continue to make more in the future. Traditionally NASA, which is run by the government, has been in charge of all of our country’s space travel. However, over the years the government has lowered funding for NASA, limiting them on what they can do. Also NASA currently depends on Russia to send people to the International Space Station, and we pay a large price for
Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson, Kansas houses the second largest collection of U.S. space memorabilia in the country, second only to the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The Cosmosphere is also home to the largest collection of Russian space memorabilia outside of Moscow. The Cosmosphere is also one of three museums in the world that has spacecrafts from all three early manned U.S. space programs. The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center grew from humble
One of the greatest achievements of humanity, a joint venture between 14 countries, worth billions of dollars and a past and present home to 157 astronauts, the International Space Station can be considered the most important project on Earth. The ISS has brought advancements in many areas of study, and chemistry is no exception. The question is, how was chemistry involved in the ISS? Firstly, the science of chemistry has been used to perfect and create new materials that the ISS would be made of
Tragedy in America January 28, 1986 was a day of excitement and anticipation for the United States Space Program. Thousands gathered around television sets and radios to listen and watch the take off of the space shuttle, “The Challenger.” The challenger took off with seven brave astronauts ready to explore space, but their journey was cut short when the Challenger exploded in mid air seventy-three seconds after take-off. The citizens of the United States were shocked by this tragedy and looked
In the United States there is a program that deals with all the science and technology that has to do with space and airplanes, it is called NASA. NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was founded in 1958. Since then NASA has launched many different missions to help expand our knowledge on our solar system. One of these missions was titled Galileo which soul purpose was to collect more data from Jupiter and its surrounding moons. This spacecraft was named after Galileo
Space travel began in the 1960s with sending humans on single missions into space. Rockets launched into the air and just the tip would land in the ocean after parachuting back to Earth ("Space Shuttle Program," par. 4). The focus of space exploration changed during the 1980s; shifting from the desire for human space flight to the desire to create a reusable spacecraft. Originally called Space Transportation System (STS), NASA created the Space Shuttle Program (SSP) (Heiney, par. 1-2). It wanted
January 28, 1986, at 11:38am, one minute until the Challenger space shuttle lifted off, the weather was bad, but still have lot people drove to and watch the launch at that freezing day, people don’t know the bad weather are leading to a disaster, actually the engineer already warn that the launch are extremely dangerous at such a cold day, at 11:39am, the Challenger space shuttle took off, few second later abnormal black smoke comes out from the roll booster, around 45 second after took off observed
Description The NASA Space Shuttle Program (Space Transportation System) was a US government manned launch vehicle program from 1983 to 2011, with the program officially beginning in 1972. The Space Shuttle Orbiter is the only winged space shuttle to orbit and land, and the only reusable orbiter that has ever made multiple flights into orbit, in fact 130 times. The space Shuttle was designed to fulfil two basic roles in manned flight simulations: 1. The first goal of the Space Shuttle program was to provide
panel in the CZC-22-Shuttle, named after me Courtney Schillings. After my story got leaked to national news five years ago about how I went back in time and through the different layers of the atmosphere, NASA thought I would be the best choice to take an expedition to Mars. So, here I am now in my lavender space suit, sitting in my shuttle feeling apprehensive, ecstatic, and so many other indescribable feelings waiting to reach Mars. About 225 KM, later the CZC-22-Shuttle and I landed on the
Wind Tunnels In this report I will talk about the wind tunnel. I will described what they are used for. The different types of wind tunnels from the slow speed subsonic to the high speed hypersonic tunnels. I will also give A few examples of the wind tunnels used today. The wind tunnel is a device used by many people, from High school students to NASA engineers. The wind tunnel is a device used to test planes to see how well it will do under certain conditions. The plane maybe as big as a full
has made space exploration a high priority, but it at a high cost with a high reward. A new 17.5 billion dollar budget established for 2015 has been set in place for NASA to invest in new shuttles and other technologies required for new exploration (Klotz). Until 2017, which is when the first American shuttles are schedule to be ready, the cost for an American to go to the International Space Station on a foreign shuttle would cost nearly 65 million dollars a seat (Klotz). With the shuttle program
Stroke Chosen: Backhand underarm clear (lob/lift) Importance of stroke: It is an important stroke to execute to return a shuttle from a net drop (front of court) to the far end of the opponent’s court. The option of using a backhand stroke instead of repositioning to use a forehand stroke increases defence coverage with minimal movement. A properly executed clear (sending the shuttle to the back of opponent’s court) allows time for one to reposition himself and also sets up a potential chance for attack
5% of the Federal Budget. Space exploration should continue because of the advances it has given to society and the future. It has advanced technology, it provides future generations with necessary knowledge, it can help us with foreign relations, the crewed missions are more scientifically beneficial, and it increases availability for jobs. First, Technology has progressed significantly since the start of the space age. For example, Methods used
magnitude projects like the space shuttle program, most of the important decision makers and workers such as the project managers and the contractors should be co-located. However, most of the meetings were virtual and there was poor communication between the personnel. • Unrealistic schedule promises: As this program was a Teacher in space program, there was a lot of attention given to the program. NASA was promising unrealistic schedules, even with numerous space shuttle issues. • Ineffective Flight
