Argumentation Documentation In this lab‚ the goal was to create a ‘rocket’ out of a pipette and to determine the right ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen to Water in order to generate the maximum possible flight distance. My partner and I arrived at our ratio of 1.5:3:1.5 (H2:O2: H2O) because of its consistency‚ high distance‚ and a bit of gut feeling. We had a few ratios that worked pretty well including 2:3:1 and 2.5:2:1.5 (see graph/chart)‚ but we chose ours because it felt like a good decision‚ and

Mariner 1 rocket with a space probe headed for Venus changed the flight path it was meant to take only seconds after it launched. Mission Control destroyed the rocket 293 seconds after liftoff! A programmer incorrectly transcribed a handwritten formula into computer code; he mistakenly missed a single superscript bar. Without the smoothing function indicated by the bar‚ the software treated normal variations of velocity as if they were serious‚ meaning all the faulty corrections sent the rocket flying

Satellite A satellite is defined as any object that orbits any other object. Satellites can be celestial‚ such as a moon orbiting a planet in the solar system‚ or a planet in the solar system orbiting the sun. Satellites can also be man-made. Man-made satellites are typically launched into outer space from earth to collect data‚ photos and other information about Earth and all the many things that exist around it. FLOW OF CONTENTS

surrounds aircraft is called aviation. Crewed aircraft are flown by an onboard pilot‚ but unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard computers. Aircraft may be classified by different criteria‚ such as lift type‚ propulsion‚ usage and others. Flying model craft and stories of manned flight go back many centuries‚ however the first manned ascent – and safe descent – in modern times took place by hot-air balloon in the 18th century. Each of the two World Wars led to

An airplane or aeroplane (informally plane) is a powered fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or propeller. Airplanes come in a variety of sizes‚ shapes‚ and wing configurations. The broad spectrum of uses for airplanes includes recreation‚ transportation of goods and people‚ military‚ and research. Most airplanes are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft‚ but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled. Etymology and usage First attested in
