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

Gnik with a ’G.’ Do you have some time to chat tomorrow morning? Regular time‚ regular place? Let me know. Satisfied‚ Gnik pressed the send button on his phone just as the pilot finally made the announcement to turn off all electronic devices. Gnik automatically complied‚ tucking his phone into the

Explosion Space Travel. It is a sense of national pride for many Americans. If you ask anyone who was alive at the time‚ they could probably tell you exactly where they were when they heard that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon. But all of the success in our space programs is overshadowed by tragedy. On January 28‚ 1986‚ one of the worst disasters in our space program’s history occurred. Many people were watching at the moment because it was the highly televised space mission

NASA Crane The first project that I chose was the NASA Crane engineering challenge. The purpose of this project was to attempt to create a crane from materials provided‚ but lift the most weight. We also took ratings on how efficient the design was‚ the look of the design‚ and the strength of the design. We first looked at the need of the project. NASA is wanting to‚ in the future‚ bring cranes to the moon to extract different materials. The problem would be getting it there. They need a crane that

Two minutes remaining. Exactly two minutes until I had to be observed and judged by some of the most highly-recognized scientists and engineers in the United States. There wasn’t a lot of time to contemplate on how I would properly address myself. No time at all.

The whistleblowing led to the loss of billions of dollars and more importantly loss of 7 innocent lives. The space shuttle was propelled by the two attached Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) and an external fuel tank. The SRBs were joined to the External Tank. aOnce the SRBs ignited‚ hot gases heated the rubber O rings and they eroded to seal the joints. SRB joint design

Companies such as space X‚ Google‚ Virgin Galactic‚ and Xcor aerospace had come into the mix‚ due to the crash of the United States economy making every taxpaying dollars required to go further in assisting citizens the United States and the death of the space shuttle program.
