Sightings of aliens and other extraterrestrial beings have been reported for thousands of years‚ and are still numerous in today’s day and age. Along with sightings of aliens have been sightings of UFO’s‚ or Unidentified Flying Objects‚ said to be spacecraft of extraterrestrial life-forms. The most common time to see UFO’s‚ according to the multiple sightings‚ is either in a car or from your home‚ when

HSC PHYSICS: SPACE * 1. “The Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force on objects both on and around it.” Students learn to “define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field.” Mass is the amount of matter in a body whereas weight is the force due to gravity acting on a mass. Mass will not change where the acceleration due to gravity is different but the weight will change. For example‚ bathroom weights are calibrated in kg‚ but actually measure

Not only did The Apollo Program prove NASA’s capabilities‚ but other space projects have also had significant accomplishments. Throughout the 1990’s and 2000’s‚ various spacecrafts were sent into space to explore the Earth‚ Sun‚ Mercury‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune‚ and Jupiter. NASA’s Discovery program‚ one of their low cost missions that focuses on the solar system‚ sent the Hubble Space Telescope in April 1990 to orbit Earth

universe. 9. We measure distances in our solar system by Astronomical Units (AU). One AU is equal to the distance between the sun and the Earth‚ which is about 150 million km (93 million miles). 10. NASA’s twin Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft are the first spacecraft to explore the outer reaches of our solar system 1. Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system - only slightly larger than the Earth’s moon. 2. It is the closest planet to the sun at a distance of about 58 million km

news reported in 2002 that this may have been untrue. Laika almost definitely died of panic and overheating when humidity and temperature went up after lift off. Sergei Korolev was the designer of the Sputnik‚ in addition to the first manned spacecraft. Korolev was from the Soviet Union‚ but a poor Communist and was arrested and worked hard labor for a year‚ but was rescued by a friend and assigned to a top-secret engineering project in Moscow. This helped pave the way for his request to build

Of course‚ these data and pictures are got from spacecraft which fly hundred kilometers away from the sphere‚ so not enough at all. Now scientists need direct evidence. Clearly nothing is better than landing on the surface and do some experiments. So this essay will firstly discuss the science aim of this

engineer is the design‚ operation‚ and analysis of any type of spacecraft. The shuttle has to be able to function‚ be practical‚ and be able to support human life while in orbit. This is no small task. Even though it has indeed already been accomplished before‚ I feel that through the knowledge I will gain both by researching the current spacecrafts‚ and by my own experimentation‚ I will help the United States in making more efficient spacecrafts that will benefit these areas of science‚ and help others
