2011). People may believe that funding spent by the NASA on space exploration could be used in a better way. But space exploration has provided us with numerous medical benefits. “Who would have thought that analyzing fluid flow around a Space Shuttle engine would help create a tiny heart pump?” (Knight‚ M. & Lorie‚ A 2009). The engineers working on the space shuttle’s engines did not set out to design any type of medical equipment. But they worked with Dr Michael DeBarey in 1995 and were

Evaluate the success of the Obama Administration’s public diplomacy By Venita Subramanian Abstract Public Diplomacy is seen by many as a governing factor of Obama’s foreign policy‚ “the soft power president”. In an attempt to improve the public image of the United States‚ Barrack Obama addresses his global audience through his various speeches and campaigns in support of his foreign policy agenda. Although the speeches seem to be over ambitious and targeted‚ the administration is often seen

It has been used in the brake systems of Formula One racing cars since 1976; carbon–carbon brake discs and pads are a standard component of Formula One brake systems. Carbon–carbon is well-suited to structural applications at high temperatures‚ or where thermal shock resistance and/or a low coefficient of thermal expansion is needed. While it is less brittle than many other ceramics‚ it lacks impact resistance; Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed during

Will the Space Elevator ever be a reality? Tim Engstrom The Cost of Space The cost of shipping payloads into space is currently thousands of dollars per kilogram[1]. Rockets are used for this job‚ subjecting the cargo to severe changeable g-forces‚ generating extreme pollution. The cost of launching a satellite by rocket is typically between $50 million and $400 million dollars[2]. Geosynchronous orbits at 35‚786 km are significantly more expensive to achieve than Low Earth orbits at less than

America’s Talent: Gone “Are We Losing Our Edge”‚ an article published in Time‚ written by Michael D. Lemonick‚ discusses the competitive edge that America has against the rest of the world. The thesis that Lemonick conveys are future scientist and engineers around the world moved to America for its enormous resources‚ academic freedom‚ and history of excellence. However‚ the times have changed‚ and these scientist and engineers are now moving to their native land to continue research and development

of the 35 individuals to become space shuttle astronauts. This is significant because 10‚000 other people applied to the program‚ but only 35 people were accepted. On August 30‚ 1983‚ Bluford became the first African American to go into space. At the moment the countdown reached zero and the shuttle lifted off the ground‚ Bluford was on his way to live out his dream. During Bluford’s career with NASA‚ he went to space four times. He was aboard the space shuttle Challenger for his

that is converted into electronic signals. Although the Hubble Telescope has been a huge success‚ there are disadvantages: it uses fuel‚ so it has a limited lifetime but also‚ it costs millions of dollars to repair and launch. History The Space Shuttle Discovery launched the telescope into orbit in 1990. Soon after‚ they discovered a flaw with its light gathering mirror which made the images less clear than they would have been. So engineers designed an optical device that would make up the error

Introduction For this essay I will be explaining what I might do to encourage team performance by using Katzenbach and Smith’s Article as a scaled directive/guideline. The discipline of teams has been useful to show how to encourage team performance and this I will explain I will explain in the first part of this essay. Main Body According to Katzenbach and Smith‚ there is an importance to distinguish between Teams and Groups. Why? Because it is believed that Teams are different from Groups

The landing speed of the space shuttle Atlantis is 347 km/h. If the shuttle is landing at an angle of 15.0o with respect to the horizontal‚ what are the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity? 6.
