The Soyuz 11 Space Disaster: A Case Study in Engineering Disasters ENGG 123 November 20‚ 2011 ABSTRACT In 1971‚ Soyuz 11 was the first manned spaceship to contact the first space station. As the astronauts were preparing to re-enter the earth ’s atmosphere the crew cab depressurized and the astronauts were killed within seconds. This paper will discuss the events that happened and how they were investigated. It will also discuss how the disaster affected future engineering decisions regarding

In the International Space Station‚ NASA experiments and shows how more explorations into space may make it easier to maneuver through a deep space and be able to locate the missions position in this deep space. This is done in an ethereal kind of “Global Positioning System or GPS” if you can have a GPS without the global. This form of tracking is using signals from dead stars in deep space that are always constant. The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer or NICER took a day and a half to

"In 1967‚ the outer space treaty was signed by one hundred countries‚including the United States...In 1979another treaty‚ known as the Moon Treaty was proposed."This is stated in the story "Can you Own Land in Outer Space?"This story tells us we can own land in outer space but‚ the question is should we? In my opinion ‚ we shouldn’t be aloud or able to live or own property in outer space.People think just because we can or we have the ability to do something then we should do it even it’s bad.For

Space exploration has been around for many years and should continue to be around. It helps people with knowing what is out in space. If the United States did not have money going toward space exploration people would be upset; especially companies and employees. It helps people study the complexity of the Earth and other planets in the solar system‚ and alerts anyone of any danger in the atmosphere. The technology National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)‚ and other companies are coming

Obama has given inspiration to the world. He has placed the might of his office into the space program‚ which has the promise of future human adventures for the good care of creation. On this move along‚ all people of the universe should support his reelection‚ so as to give opportunity for the full development of the new direction for the space program. A call for the necessary ways and means to control the space world is on point. President Obama is the leader for the moment and the future moments

Canadarm Although Canada has been involved with the space race since the beginning‚ nothing has made our national pride glow like watching the space shuttles and seeing the big letters CANADA written across the Canadarm. The Canadarm was fist launched into space on November 13‚ 1981 as part of Columbia. During that mission‚ the Canadarm successfully flexed its muscles and secured its position in the future of space travel. It was developed by Spar Aerospace with the National Research Council and

Before there was the International Space Station‚ before there was Mir‚ there was Skylab. The International Space Station has been home to eight resident crews who have performed fantastic research in the microgravity of Earth orbit. But none of this would have been possible without Skylab. From the launch on May 14‚ 1973‚ to the return of its final crew on Feb. 8‚ 1974‚ the Skylab program proved that humans can live and work in outer space for extended periods of time.

The Canadarm was launched form earth on the shuttle flight #104 witch is also known as Endeavour. On April 2001 the Endeavour was caring much more then just the Canadarm‚ it was caring the crew who would install the new Canadarm to the international space stations. The crew on the shuttle was Kent
