International Space Station The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit. It speeds around the earth from hundreds of miles up. “On January 29‚ 1998‚ fifteen countries signed the intergovernmental agreements (IGA) establishing the framework for cooperation among the partners on the design‚ development‚ operation and utilization of the Space Station.” (“Partner Signs ISS”). The idea for using the ISS is as a platform to explore the Moon‚ Mars and

The Space Race can be defined as the international competition of aerospace exploration. The two major competitors being‚ the United States and Russia. The Space Race took place during a very heated era for both countries. The tensions were particularly high between these two rivals due to the Cold War. Both nations were determined to win the race no matter the costs or the numerous failures; the winner would gain a huge psychological victory. Although there were repercussions to the Space Race‚

From the perspective of a sociologist‚ whose job it is include the origins‚ development‚ organization‚ networks‚ and institutions to study social behavior or society‚ funding NASA would be a wise choice because we could have space colonies creating many benefits for society and people. The article “Food‚ Leisure‚ And Social Life In Space Colonies” by Tom Marotta‚ a diplomat and city planner‚ made this position clear by presenting the significance of space exploration in today’s

brought on the “Space Race.” There’s little clarity on where the race would end‚ but it’s generally regarded that the race was one to land on the moon. Although it was a product of war‚ the space race was a great thing. It pushed both sides to rapidly develop space technology and exploration to new limits at every turn. Every time Russia won a milestone‚ America pushed harder‚ eventually winning the race to land on the moon. Without the space race‚ the world’s ability to explore space would be light

As indicated in image III below‚ the subarachnoid space is the area located between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater layers of tissue covering the brain. This anatomic space is occupied by a spongy connective tissue known as trabeculae which spans across the subarachnoid space connecting the two layers of the leptomeninges‚ providing

INTRODUCTION Space exploration is the investigation of physical conditions in space and on stars‚ planets‚ and their moons through the use of artificial satellites (spacecraft that orbit the earth)‚ space probes (spacecraft that pass through the solar system and that may or may not orbit another celestial body)‚ and spacecraft with human crews.( http://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/entry?id=44593) As a senior officer with Malaysia National Space Agency (MNSA)‚ I was invited by the English

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation. A aperture telescope in low Earth orbit‚ Hubble’s four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet‚ visible‚ and near infrared. The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble. Hubble’s orbit outside the distortion of Earth’s atmosphere allows it to take extremely high-resolution images with almost no background light. Hubble’s Deep Field has recorded some

Most important achievement thereby was that men got the motion. These diesel engines gave shape in manifold. In transport sector the horse car/coach were started replacing by motorcars of different sizes and shapes to fit the needs of mankind. The addition of petrol engine has accelerated the rate.
