A manned spacecraft means a spacecraft that has crew members onboard‚ it needs people to function and steer the spacecraft. The Voyager 1 is an unmanned spacecraft. This means that no people need to be in the spacecraft whilst it is in space. NASA made Voyager 1 unmanned‚ so that it could travel faster and for a long period of time. They also didn’t want any distractions other than what the celestial body looked like in a spacecraft’s point of view. Voyager 1 travels at roughly 17.5km/s‚ and any

NASA should not funded a large amount of money. There are more important events that is occurring that we need to solve or discover than space. A decent amount could be reserve for NASA because it could increase our knowledge about space and help invent new equipment. NASA could help resolve the problems like climate change. NASA did help invent equipments that some individuals use everyday such as weather satellites‚ fire gear‚ etc. NASA has pushed science to new heights and increased ways to help

ealthcare facilities (buildings) can also be considered to be a form of technology. As with other forms of technology‚ physical facilities involve a mutual interaction between users of the technology and the technology Anderson & Wittwer‚ 2011). In healthcare contexts‚ the physical facilities are often intimately interrelated with the staff and other technology that the building contains (Munnelly & Clarke‚ 2007). Often‚ technology is integrated into the building itself. As with other forms of technology

What was the motivation that led to the discovery? The motivation that led to the discovery of the approval of the Apollo Mission was that NASA has the approval from the government to make available the first manned spacecraft in the United States. " Also‚ a Space Task Group (STG) New Projects Panel held its first meeting August 12 to dis- cuss NASA’s future manned space programs. The panel determined that the following projects would be required to accomplish the goal of lunar landing and return:

Entering this technologically and scientifically-advanced era has gradually been extremely beneficial for scientists as well as the population. With our new technology‚ we have gradually discovered more and more celestial bodies that may or may not be able to support life. Since 2005‚ we have found more and more ‘super-Earths’‚ which is a term used for an extrasolar planet that has a mass higher than planet Earth’s but below the mass of the solar systems’ gas giants. In some cases‚ these super-Earths

When people think about NASA’s accomplishments‚ many people (can only or will) mention space exploration‚ but if you show them a few of NASA’s recent inventions they will begin to see the greater side of NASA. Over the years there have been many major medical innovations that have helped save lives but if you trace back their origins back there have been many that have been based on one of NASA’s many inventions. Infrared ear thermometers use astronomy technology to measure the amount of energy

My astronaut is Gus Grissom. What interests me about Gus Grissom is that he had such a normal life. He grew up in a small town with three siblings‚ and was an average student in school. His school principal thought of him as "an average solid citizen who studied just about enough to get a diploma." He didn’t study that much and didn’t have any education or school goals. Even though he wasn’t the best student‚ he joined the military‚ got a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering‚ and then joined

Apollo 13 was planned as a Type H mission; Apollo 13 was the third mission to land on the moon. The spacecraft lifted off on April 11‚ 1970. The three crew members were Commander James A. Lovell‚ Command Module Pilot John L. Swigert‚ and Lunar Module Pilot Fred W. Haise. Unfortunately‚ two days later the oxygen tank exploded which force them to terminate lunar landing. According to NASA‚ Apollo 13 seem to be the smoothest flight till the first 55 hours and 46 minutes‚ nine minutes after the TV broadcast
