Lot Of Money Carbon Dioxide
877 wordsMars has been a place NASA and other organizations have wanted to conquer after the Apollo missions. It has been several decades since anyone has sent anything to Mars. Lately though Mars has been the main focus to space engineers and scientists. This is because in 1989 President George Bush called for a manned mission to Mars (Sky & Telescope). This will cost a lot of money and effort. In 1969 people were celebrating the first manned mission to the moon. People were in awe of their own ability....

Cold War Space Race

Two months after the Soviet Union's successful launch of Sputnik, this failure further emphasized America's lag behind the Soviet Union in the space race. Having already lost the race to launch the world's first artificial satellite to the Soviet Union, the United States accelerated its plan to develop an unmanned M...

Since electrons are negatively charged, the entire xenon atom becomes positively charged and therefore ionized. These ionized particles will now fly out of the back of the spacecraft at an incredible rate of more than 62, 000 miles per hour! The xenon ions would be going in the opposite direction of the craft. Due to Newton's third law, which was discussed above, the spacecraft will b...

612 wordsPioneer 10 was launched in 1972 and flew within 81, 000 miles (130, 000 kilometers) of Jupiter on Dec. 3, 1973. The probe revealed the severe effects of Jupiter's radiation belt on spacecraft. Pioneer 10 also reported the amount of hydrogen and helium in the planet's atmosphere. In addition, the probe discovered that Jupiter has an enormous magnetosphere. Pioneer 10 was launched toward Jupiter on an Atlas rocket in 1972. After reaching the planet in late 1973, it made the first close-up photogra...

Star Traveling To The Millennium
1,884 wordsNASA's goal of faster, better, cheaper has been the motivation for them to develop new mission concepts, and to validate never-before-used technologies in space. The new technologies, if proven to work, will revolutionize space exploration in the next century. According to NASA's New Millennium Program home page, last updated on September 16, 1999, NASA's current project of Deep Space 1 demonstrates some of their most exotic technologies. One of the most impressive is the testing of an ion engin...

Magnetic Field Space Travel
409 wordsI feel the future of transportation lies in space travel. People can go any where in the world and can do anything but travel in space. This is do to the incredible cost of space travel. The use of massive amounts of fuel for departing and re-entering the atmosphere contributes a high percentage of the cost. If there was only a way to cut down on these costs, space travel would become a more realistic form of travel. Physics has shown how to make many dreams, including cheaper space travel, beco...

We can speculate about the geology of the planet but we will never know for sure what the planet is really made of until we physically go there. The information is all from NASA sites or NASA related sites. Mars red color leads us to believe that the planet has large amounts of iron. This red color is the only color that is o...

There would be no global communications, but most importantly there would have been no space-race. The war between the Soviet Union and the United States was one with virtually no casualties. There were many technological advances in a feud between two countries. However, there were some failures as well. Some Americans gave their lives for the sake of social movement, not to...
