The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation. A aperture telescope in low Earth orbit‚ Hubble’s four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet‚ visible‚ and near infrared. The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble. Hubble’s orbit outside the distortion of Earth’s atmosphere allows it to take extremely high-resolution images with almost no background light. Hubble’s Deep Field has recorded some

changing national space policy during the cold war. The early cold war presidents such as Eisenhower‚ Kennedy‚ Johnson and Nixon had a very active and well-funded space policy compared to later cold war presidents. What caused each president to have a different policy and what shaped their views on space policy during the height of the cold war? What were the goals and outcomes of their policies? In the summer of 1958‚ through the singing of the National Aeronautics and Space Act‚ NASA came into

Nowadays‚ there are increasing interests in space research. Some urge that such research is a waste of money. While‚ others think the money spent on those research would rather be allocated to improve on lives on the Earth. I found myself disagreement with such point of view. First of all‚ it is obvious that the study will provide us more knowledge on other planets in terms of environment‚ lives and biology. Such knowledge might be further leveraged into the studies on different subjects‚ such as

presentation are assumed by the audience to come from this body‚ even if they are off-screen voices. The acceptance of this off-screen voice by the audience is dependent on an understanding of space within the cinema itself. It relies on an understanding that the frame of the visual image does not limit the aural space. Even the physical confines of the theater itself are not the limit of the diegesis or aural telling of the story. Though the visual story is limited‚ the audience accepts auditory input

Trump’s presidency is spitting out some concerning predicaments for the future of space research and exploration. This past week President Trump had the privilege of calling the International Space Station to congratulate station commander Peggy Whitson for breaking America’s long-duration space flight record at 534 days over the course of three missions. The amplitude of their conversation focused on NASA’s research and technology that will lay the groundwork for the exploration of Mars. Trump began

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

Introduction In our first interim report we did a brief research on Reentry and Deorbit burn procedure and discussed how it is achieved. Now in this interim report we discussed on how the space shuttle maneuver does and positions itself in reentry. Furthermore we researched on how the shuttle is protected from extreme heat during reentry and extremely cold temperature in the space. The Space Shuttle Orbital Maneuvering System: OMS is a system that contains

Shaylen Pfister Q4 EA1 Is space exploration the cause of poverty? Or is it other government issues ? Yes‚ the government has taken money from taxes to send people into space. It takes $10‚000 per pound just to put somebody on the moon. It would be twice that much to send someone to Mars as it says in Source-B The Cost Of Space Exploration. That is a crazy amount of money to send just 1 pound of something into outer space! That’s why taxes are so high in America. They use the money that we

the Funding of U.S Space Program The spirit and sense of adventure of exploring the ‘heavens’ captivates the general public very easily. Ever since the competition between the Soviet Union and U.S to occupy space‚ the United States has been on a consistent drive to discover more and more of outer space. Although there are minor independent companies that contribute to space exploration‚ the U.S government directly funds one main program‚ which it has established to perform space-related tasks‚ the
