The telescope also has two main computers that manage the commands of pointing the telescope and other functions. Goddard sends the data to the Space Telescope Science Institute to analyze it. The scientists didn't stop here. In their desire to better understand the universe, they designed The Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) or the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that has been planned for launching
Space: up until a few centuries ago astronomers knew little about the universe outside of our planet. But now, with vastly improved technology, astronomers are able to uncover so much more about what lies outside of Earth. While today’s observational technology is greatly superior to that of the past, we can’t disregard the accomplishments of astronomers in the past, because without their work our knowledge of space would far less than it is today. From Galileo’s first telescope to the Webb space
Astronomers are looking at their computers where the Hubble Space Telescope is sending what it is seeing. They say that a star may be born! Without the Hubble telescope it would be harder to learn and discover new things. The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. To launch the Hubble Telescope, It’s really expensive but it helps us out a lot.. To launch the Hubble Telescope it took about 1.5 million dollars. This paper will show why the telescope is the best invention. It is the best
a major help in transforming the first telescope into something as amazing as the Hubble. The first telescope was perfected by Galileo in 1609, and around four hundred years later the Hubble was launched into space. Since then the Hubble has shown scientists many new discoveries about space that they would have never been able to figure out without the Hubble’s help. Since April 1990 the Hubble telescope has been greatly appreciated by the scientific community because of everything it has done. However
The Hubble space telescope is a deep space imager used by NASA to explore space. It collects light and magnifies images, and gives Astronomers the most detailed images known to man. Hubble has been at work since April 25, 1990, and celebrated its 20th anniversary in orbit April 24, 2010. Twenty years in service, and still being the leading source for space news says a lot about Hubble's overall longevity and productiveness. Over 6000 scientific articles have been published based on Hubble data, with

Later on the team accidentally drills through an oversize empty geode structure, damaging the lasers when it lands at its base and cracking the geode's structure and causing magma to flow in.

astronaut for the Canadian Space Agency(CSA). Chris Hadfield is an inspiration to all aspiring Canadians who want to be an astronaut and has shown people that even with small beginnings they can become famous and significant to Canada. This sudden surge in popularity allowed for Chris Hadfield to increase the interest towards a career as an astronaut. He was the head astronaut at the CSA so he could share his experiences and was the first Canadian to do many things in space. Chris Hadfield grabbed the
astronaut. Knowing how difficult this could be considering Canada did not have a space station, Hadfield never let that get in the way of achieving his goals. Starting off as a Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilot, he took part in two space shuttle missions and later became a commander of the ISS (International Space Station). Later on in 1992, he joined the Canadian Astronaut Program, which allowed him to take on space for the first time in 1995. It may seem as if Hadfield had it anything short of
This week’s case study concerning Genzyme’s strategic direction was very interesting in that they essentially pursued a strategy that seemingly was purposely avoided by other players in the pharmaceutical industry (Schilling, N.D.). Their strategy centered on developing prescriptions for rare diseases. Typically “developing a drug takes 10 to 14 years and costs an average of $800 million to perform the research, run the clinical trials, get FDA approval, and bring a drug to market,” and in turn it
important contribution from Canada, to the international Space station. Its complex design allows it to move through out the international space station and supply the station with useful tasks. The Canadarm was launched form earth on the shuttle flight #104 witch is also known as Endeavour. On April 2001 the Endeavour was caring much more then just the Canadarm, it was caring the crew who would install the new Canadarm to the international space stations. The crew on the shuttle was Kent V. Rominger
13 takes us back in time, to the late 1960’s and early 70’s, when America’s NASA space program was thriving and the world stood aside to see who would reach the moon first. The impacts of space program are still evident to this day. It is even said that by beating the Russians to the moon, we established ourselves are the top power in the world and propelled ourselves to the status we hold today. While today our space program flounders in the public eye, this movie illustrates a time when NASA’s successes
Introduction Aircraft maintenance is interpreted as the activity in sustaining an aircraft to its serviceable condition in the manners of inspection, repair, overhaul, replacing or modification of an aircraft component. The aviation industry also needs a systematic management in terms of organizing the maintenance activity. A proper management helps the organization to sets up a good reputation in term of providing a decent business service. In addition, an organization develop their own complex
Winter 2016 Space Debris There are multiple sizes of space debris, with varying amounts in orbit depending on the size. According to NASA, it is estimated that there are over 21,000 pieces larger than 10 cm, around 500,000 between 1 and 10 cm, and over 100 million pieces smaller than 1 cm. [1] This debris is also traveling extremely fast; the average speed is of a piece of debris is estimated to be at between 7 and 8 km/s and collisions averaging at 10 km/s. There are multiple sources of space debris;

During the most recent observations of Mars, NASA sent out the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Global Surveyor Probe and the European Space Agency sent out the Mars Express Spacecraft. Wilson and her colleagues observed photographs and data they retained from the space crafts. Wilson detected various valleys and lake basins that were at one point larger than two of the Great Lakes.

of new advancements. This path is now at what some people call the “final frontier”, or the space age. The discoveries being made on this front are overwhelming in comparison to the technology that the world had only twenty years ago. Space exploration was once left up to the governments, as they battled to be the first country in space, but with national debts raising and the cuts made in response, space exploration is beginning to become new grounds for private business owners. Private companies
Human space exploration had its beginning on October 4, 1957, when the Soviets launched Sputnik 1 into space. Sputnik was the first artificial satellite. The United States followed close behind, launching Explorer 1 into orbit in early 1958. The Soviet Union was also first to launch a man into space, when on April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the earth on Vostok 1. Again, the United States followed shortly after when Alan Shepard made a suborbital flight, becoming the
violence. At each stage in the transatlantic slave trade, African people experienced systematic violence and oppression, shaped by racist capitalistic ideas that white opportunists profited from. Slavery was never an inevitable outcome of African and European encounters, but it developed in this way because of the search for wealth and money, combined with severe white supremacy and ethnocentrism. As slavery continued to develop, and many countries, such as the emerging United States in the late 18th
2.0 Introduction For nearly sixty years, a seemingly irreversible momentum towards integration within the framework of the European Union has, for many, defined the future of the continent. On 23 June 2016, the electorate of the United Kingdom made a sovereign choice to leave the EU. After the British decision to leave, Europe’s trajectory, even its destiny, has again become a matter of choice. Brexit marks both a major constitutional change for the UK and a significant rupture for the EU. If only
PROFITABLE BLANK , SPACE “The spacecraft carries along our secret hope that there is something better out there, a better place, a better way to live, a world where we may someday go and leave the errors of the past behind”( Easterbrook, 1986, para. 1) emphasized the importance of the space research well. Because space is the limitless blank and it is full of chance, chance of new lives, new resources, chance of a new page for humanity and meeting new species. Then, what is space research and how
Earth is small. Many people find it hard to believe, but when one thinks of earth in its context, amongst billions of galaxies, stars, planets, and an infinite universe, earth is a mere grain of sand on the beach that is space. With this in mind, one may, quite understandably, find it hard to believe that earth is the only planet that sustains life. With today’s advanced technology and science, extensive evidence has been found suggesting a great likelihood of life on other planets. The discovery
