plethora of sensors that measure environmental variables such as temperature‚ velocity‚ position‚ and altitude. If the sensors return a reading outside the acceptable range‚ then computers correct the problems or notify mission control if necessary. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) employees work around the clock‚ monitoring the output from the space vehicle sensors while the vehicle is in flight and communicating to astronauts if any action is

goals: making the workforce stronger‚ encouraging students to pursue STEM careers (science‚ technology‚ engineering and mathematics)‚ and “engaging Americans in NASA’s mission‚” states J.C. Pantom in Space Exploration. This is significant because NASA offers STEM classes for kids to help them learn about engineering and science. This will make kids want to be astronauts when they grow up. The promotion of education of space is another reason why we should all support space

Pioneer 10 was the first attempt by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to send a mission into space that would surpass the distance what had previously been explored. In these missions‚ the spacecraft had made it as far as Mars‚ to understand the planet and atmosphere of Earth’s neighbor. Yet‚ Pioneer 10 had three primary goals: make in situ measurements of Jupiter‚ study the asteroid belt‚ and investigate the planetary medium. The first‚ to make in situ measurements of Jupiter

were fake‚ and staged to make it look like the United States had won the space race against the Soviet Union‚ or Russia‚ to cheat the public out of billions of dollars. The conspiracy theorists had believed that the scientists that had worked for NASA thought that the Apollo missions would be impossible because it was too expensive to make it to the moon at the time. The time they made it to the moon was right around the Cold War time‚ and the Great Depression. The conspiracy theorists also believed

If successful‚ ISRO would become the fourth space agency to reach Mars‚ after the Soviet space program‚ NASA‚ and ESA.[14] The MOM probe is currently in Earth orbit where it will make a series of six altitude-raising orbital manoeuvres before a planned insertion into a heliocentric Mars transfer orbit on 30 November 2013. The MOM mission began with a feasibility

Astronomy is one of those fascinating genres of science that has intrigued people for centuries. It has been an obsession for some people and they have even risked their lives in its cause. Space exploration holds a special place in science as it is something that we know a lot about‚ yet there is so much we need to learn about the cosmos. Space travel and space agencies all over the world are developing new theories‚ technologies‚ and plan to take space exploration to the next level; beyond the

With its Manned Spacecraft Center‚ the city of Houston will be the heart of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA). This large scientific and engineering community will create a great number of new companies and also open up thousands of new positions. This city‚ state‚ and region will benefit tremendously with growth. It is the vision and goal of the United

Do you think that the space exploration is worth the cost. Do you think that it is worth the resources and lives. I do think it is worth it. It has helped us advance in our technologies. It has helped us discover a lot more. In Kennedy’s speech‚ he says that many people believe that space exploration or sace research has no benefit for us here when they are wrong. He says that just as the wartime development of radar gave us the transistor‚ space research can promise benefits for us who
