Marc Garneau Education Marc garneau was born in Quebec City, on February 23 1949. (67 years old) In 1970 he received a science degree in engineering at the Royal Military college in Kingston. Then in 1973, London, England he received a doctorate in electrical engineering. After from 1982 to 1983, he attended the Canadian Forces Command and Staff College of Toronto. Then later, Missions Marc Garneau has done 3 space missions: STS-77, STS-41-G, STS-97. STS-77 was launched on bay 39B. It lasted 10 days , 39 minutes and 18 seconds. The mission was to conduct many experiments including, The liquid metal thermal experiment (LMTE) The Satellite Unit test (STU) and many more. His and his team’s space shuttle landed in Florida USA, His 2nd mission,
It’s not everyday that an ordinary kid from a farm in a city like Milton, Ontario finds himself walking in outer space. To get from here to there, it takes a significant amount of hard work, dedication and ambition as well as perseverance- overcoming all the barriers in life and plowing through. Chris Hadfield had those very traits- which enabled him to make Canada proud in an unforgettable way. Although Marc Garneau was the first Canadian in space, Chris Hadfield rewrote the very rules that bind us, by being the first Canadian to walk in space. What is it they said again, “One step for man, one giant leap for mankind”? Well Chris Hadfield took one step for man and one giant leap for Canadians.
During the Cold War, the United States and Russia had a severe space race between one another. Every time one country would be a step ahead of the other, and somehow one of the countries would catch up to the more advanced country at the time. During the early years of the space race, success was measured by what nation did what first: To the alarm of the United States, each of the early adventures were achieved by the Soviet Union. And all of those events triggered the United States to drive and catch up with to surpass the Soviet Union. This sort of see-saw method happen throughout the space race. Throughout this paper, there will be a discussion on the space race between the United Stated and
The subject that I chose to research is the Apollo missions. After reading 50 Years of Americans in Space I was amazed and the continuous path of discoveries and exploration. When NASA was just beginning it had a spaceflight program that’s goals were to simply be able to survive out in space. From there they continued to push the boundaries, to try harder and get farther and in 1969 they landed on the moon. Along the way so many questions were asked, theories were tested, and lives were risked and lost.
0n July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. On board the space shuttle was Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Micheal Collins. They were inside the command service module named the Columbia. Underneath the CSM was the lunar module Eagle that was 23 feet tall. This is what would be used to land on the moon. It sat on top of the Saturn V rocket. It stood 364 feet high and had 91 separate engines. The rocket weighed 5.8 million pounds had 8,000,000 parts that moved and would create shock waves that made the ground shake. Michael Collins was the command module pilot for the Apollo 11 mission. He had to use a sextant, star chart and telescope to plot the trip to the moon. After using the tools to chart a course he entered
I chose to research the Apollo mission. NASA didn't want just to go to the moon and come back. They had goals that would help others through this mission. Nasa wanted to establish technology to meet other national interests in space. They wanted to know more about the space and not just about the moon. Through these missions NASA has learned more than all the missions done in the past.Another goal that NASA had was to achieve preeminence in space for the United States. The United States set a standard for space exploration. Another goal was to carry out a program of scientific exploration of the Moon. It means that they are doing this program to learn more about the Moon and about what there is on it. I am so glad to study what NASA has done
The Apollo space missions of the 60’s and 70’s mark a time when space was the final frontier and the only destination world leaders had their view set upon. The cold war in full swing, each nation wanted to prove its dominance without total world destruction, was the single greatest driving force in the space race to the moon. But how do we invent, build, and use a set of technologies barely dreamed of by the most elite scientists? Rockets, computers, practical space suits, and a lunar lander/space shuttle all had to be built nearly from scratch with almost no past experience. The history of rockets comes from German scientists in the Second World War seeking ways to deliver explosives to enemy forces (Funk). We asked many of these experienced
Since I was a child I liked to observe the shapes of the clouds and the stars in the sky. I liked watching the planes and wondered how it would travel in them or how astronauts traveling in space rocket. So, I did choose this topic because it is an opportunity to know about it. Reading this article I learned that there were six Apollo missions that landed on the lunar surface. The fundamental goal of NASA's vision is the advancement of “…U.S. scientific, security, and economic interests through a robust space exploration program.” I also learned that those expeditions were the result of many careful studies and had important effects as vision obscuration, false instrument readings, dust coating and contamination, loss of traction, clogging
Apollo 13 was the 7th mission in the American Apollo Space Program and launched on April 11, 1970. Apollo 13 was the third mission that had planned to land on the moon and its location was in the Fra Mauro crater. However, two days into the flight, an oxygen tank exploded forcing the crew to orbit the moon without landing and return to earth.
remove the wall in 1989, two years before the USSR fell. He followed walking into the space race.
The Canadarm was a remote-controlled mechanical arm, also known as the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System.During its 30-year career with NASA’s Space Shuttle Program, the robotic arm deployed, captured and repaired satellites, positioned astronauts, maintained equipment, and moved cargo.Even though the Canadarm retired in July 2011 , its memory lives on as it helped establish Canada’s reputation as a leader in technological innovation and inspired a series of other Canadian robotics used on the International Space Station including the Canadarm 2 and Dextre.
John Glenn born July 18, 1921. Died December 8, 2016. John Glenn had one wife who is Annie Glenn. John and Annie had two kids Carolyn Ann Glenn and John David Glenn. John Glenn was the first american to circle around the Earth Glenn was the third American to go in space. He received the NASA Distinguished Service Medal and the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, Glenn was put in the hall of Fame in roughly 1990 Glenn was the last surviving crew member of Mercury wow!
The Apollo missions were the project that NASA worked on. It was trying to safely get man to the moon and back. There were 17 Apollo missions. Only 6 of those missions succeeded. That is only a success rate of 35.29%. The first few flights were just testing equipment. The first manned mission was Apollo 8. All missions after 8 were manned. The missions that succeeded were 11-12 and 14-17. Many of these missions did collect photographs and data to return to earth. The first Apollo mission to land on the moon was 11. It launched July 16, 1969, landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 and returned home on July 24, 1969. A total of 12 astronauts have walked on the moon’s surface.
This flight rekindled the excitement felt in the early 1960s during the first Mercury flights, and set the stage for later Apollo landing missions. An ecstatic reaction enveloped the globe, as everyone shared in the success of the mission. Ticker tape parades, speaking engagements, public relations events, and a world tour by the astronauts served to create good will both in the United States and abroad. Five more landing missions followed at approximately six-month intervals through December 1972, each of them increasing the time spent on the Moon. The scientific experiments placed on the Moon and the lunar soil samples returned have provided grist for scientists' investigations ever since. The scientific return was significant, but the program
NASA wrote, John glen went to outer space to be famous and it worked. John Glenn was the first Americans to orbit the earth and he did on October 29, 1998. The mission was 9 days long he orbited the earth 134 times before returning to earth. John landed safely and went home to see his family. To soon go back to space.
