is Expedition 18. The station has played host to astronauts from 16 different nations‚ and it was the destination of the first six space tourists. The International Space Station is mainly a research laboratory. The station has an advantage over spacecraft like NASA’s Space Shuttle. As it is a long-term platform in the space environment‚ it allows long-duration studies to be performed. Science experiments are conducted daily across many fields‚ including human research‚ life sciences‚ physical sciences

I don’t mind hearing about why your upset but the only way Ik how to help is to make you laugh but you need to stop worrying about me dumping you I understand why you are but you need to try to get over all your old relationships and think about making the one your in better instead of worrying about it getting worse.

Astronomy 305 Term Paper Insight and Speculation on Getting a Man to Mars Mars has been a fascinating topic of discussion for a long time now. Every aspect of the Red Planet is mysterious when you think about the history of it. It is extremely similar to the Earth in a lot of ways. It experiences seasons just like the Earth due to its tilt. It also has many mountain ranges‚ giving evidence for some plate tectonics‚ but not a lot of evidence. Due to Mars’ very thin atmosphere there is very little

The Moon - Introduction Its hard to imagine the history of Earth without our Moon. For as long as man walked this Earth‚ the Moon served as "lesser light for the night" and faithful time-piece. The phases of the Moon were used to help guide the Harvest‚ or help determine the time of the river floods. How our Moon came to existence is still under speculation. There are several possible scenarios: Fission Theory - the Earth spinning so fast during early formation that a piece broke off forming

Enceladus has a surface temperature of -330 Fahrenheit. History-Enceladus was discovered by Fredrick William Herschel on August 28‚ 1789‚ during the first use of his new 1.2 m telescope‚ then the largest in the world. Volcanism- In 2005 the Cassini spacecraft performed several close flybys of Enceladus‚ revealing the moon ’s surface and environment in greater detail. In particular‚ the probe discovered a water-rich plume venting from the moon ’s South Polar Region. This discovery‚ along with the presence

Flywheel energy storage works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. The energy is converted back by slowing down the flywheel.Flywheel energy storage system is one form of energy storage devices. It is basically a rechargeable battery. It is used to absorb electric energy from a source‚ store it as kinetic energy of rotation‚ and then deliver it to a load at the appropriate time‚ in the form that meets the load needs

launch spacecrafts. By timing the launch to take advantage of the circular motion of Earth rotating on its axis‚ scientists can control the speed with which the craft will travel around the Sun. If the spacecraft travels around the Sun at a slightly higher speed than Earth does‚ the radius of its orbit will slowly increase‚ and it will move outward through the Solar System. This way‚ the craft could intersect with the orbits of Mars‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune‚ or Pluto. If the spacecraft travels

Possibilities of Life on Io and Europa Jupiter ’s moons have always been a slight mystery to the people of Earth; lately it has become an even bigger topic of interest. Ever since we sent a probe to Jupiter and it explored the moons‚ Io and Europa. Both of these moons have possible means for life. These two moons were discovered on January 10‚ 1610 by Galileo Galilei. One night when he was star gazing‚ he looked at Jupiter and saw four little stars around it. These little stars turned out
