contenders for the fabled X PRIZE‚ A rocket known by its builders as Wild Fire‚ and an airplane referred to buy its builders as‚ Space Ship 1. "The da Vinci Project‚ led by Brian Feeney of Toronto‚ Ontario‚ Canada‚ registered as a contender for the X PRIZE on June 2‚ 2000." (About the da Vinci Project). Their Craft Wild Fire has a flight plan that first consists of the rocket being hoisted to 24 km. (80‚000 feet) via hot air balloon‚ at which point the rocket slung under the balloon at an 80 degree

Disaster: The Mariner 1 rocket with a space probe headed for Venus diverted from its intended flight path shortly after launch. Mission Control destroyed the rocket 293 seconds after liftoff. Cause: A programmer incorrectly transcribed a handwritten formula into computer code‚ missing a single superscript bar. Without the smoothing function indicated by the bar‚ the software treated normal variations of velocity as if they were serious‚ causing faulty corrections that sent the rocket off course. 2.

Abstract: In Rockets and Missiles combustion gas of an integral burning of a propellant flows along the duct of the propellant. If the nozzles attached to a rocket motor are removed‚ the pressure on the duct becomes equal to atmospheric pressure and no sonic velocity is attained at the rear end of the duct. Then no thrust generated by the combustion of the propellant. In nozzleless propulsion the mass burning rate of the propellant in the duct is increased and the flow reaches sonic velocity

cotton. Then the cotton itself was painted. It was painted with cellulose acetate butyrate and aluminum powder‚ both of which can be combustible alone. Aluminum powder can be explosive or flammable if mixed with air‚ it is used in liquid and solid rocket fuels‚ and used in thermite‚ which is an incendiary. It also burns and orange-red depending on other elements being present at point of ignition. The cellulose acetate butyrate is combustible and used in everyday items such as hairbrushes. Thought

Astronomy 3/21/13 Deep Space Disposal "Why not just get rid of radioactive waste and other trash by simply shooting it into space?" This question has passed peoples lips before but has never been a major subject. I personally think that this would work perfectly; it would eliminate the need to dispose of trash in other‚ more harmful ways. It would also reduce the litter and trash that is literally covering our planet. Sure there are facilities that specialize in getting rid of trash. There

the external tank had loosened. Michael Smith‚ the pilot of the Challenger uttered “Uh oh‚” his last known words (Challenger‚ 2008). That was the only evidence that anyone onboard suspected any sort of trouble. At 73 seconds‚ the loosened booster rocket‚ smashed into the tip of the right wing‚ then it crashed into the fuel tank‚ setting off a massive explosion. Debris from the explosion were sent 20 miles above the earth. Burning fragments from the shuttle rained down on to the recovery operations
