The Objectives Of The Mercury Project

In the “Seven Minutes of Terror, Eight Years of Ingenuity” by ReadWorks discusses about the idea of traveling to space and the scientist working together to make this possible. ReadWorks discuss the people, ideas of getting to space, and reason why there was a to getting to people off earth. It demonstrates how these people worked, especially together day in and day out.

When asked, "What is the scientific value of sending men into space?” Anatoly Blagonravov – one of the chief architects of the Soviets Unions' space achievements – answered, "I quite agree that modern techniques [of automatic instrumentation] permit us to solve all the scientific problems we set ourselves. But I do not exclude that in the further development of space techniques the personal participation of Man may be of great interest and importance. Independently of the perfection of automatic machines, Man must see with his own eyes what is going on in space."

Mercury is an element of the earth, and can take place naturally as well from manmade. Mercury continuously comes up towards the surface of the earth’s crust, because of the high temperature of the earth’s mantle, and this can make mercury a very mobile source. Surface rocks can contain high levels of concentrated mercury, which can add to the levels of emission standards of mercury. Natural sources can come from the earth crust, volcanoes, and erosion. Others are from weather, floods, and forest fires. This type of contamination is beyond mans control, and must be considered part of our atmosphere mercury levels. Scientist to this day have been struggling to separate the two from mans involvement to the natural output of mercury. Other

Each spacecraft was composed of two main parts: an orbiter designed to photograph the surface of Mars from orbit, and a lander designed to study the planet from the surface. The orbiters also served as communication relays for the landers once they touched down. It was highly successful and formed most of the body of knowledge about Mars through the late 199os and early 2ooos.

Journal provides a complete record of planning, construction, testing, modifications, reasons for modifications, and some reflection about the strategies used and the results.

Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is a rocky planet. The heavily cratered planet suggests that meteors or comets were frequent many, many years ago. Mercury's boulder littered surface and pale gray appearance slightly resembles Earth's moon. Like Mars, Mercury is covered in pulverized dust. What Mercury lacks in this, is weather. Muggle probes bring images to us that show no signs of wind, dust storms, or clouds. No rivers have been found on Mercury. Lack of clouds and rivers, (and oceans) suggests that there is no water on the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury. One of Mercury's most famous craters is Caloris basin, which is 1550 km in diameter. Another of Mercury's most famous craters is called Rachmaninoff. Rachmaninoff is 306 km in diameter. These two very large craters were created by astroids impacting the planet in Mercury's early history.

There are characteristics of Mercury that make it an appropriate target, and some that make it not. The different characteristics presented in the case are as follows:

This part of the project is a continuation of Project Part 1 where you prepared an RA plan and a risk

Mercury's surface is very rocky and covered in boulders and pulverized dust. The surface is also filled with craters. The planet is a grey color. It is the smallest planet but very dense. The surface of Mercury is very similar to the surface of the moon, but Mercury has more smooth plains. On Mercury you will not find any clouds, dust storms, rivers or any other sign of weather. The planets magnetic field keeps any winds away from it. Mercury has a mainly iron rich core. The planet will always be facing the sun on one side, lighting up half of its surface. The side facing the sun is very hot, while the side not facing the sun gets very cold. There is absolutely no sign of anything living on Mercury, and there has not been any for a long time.

The planet Mercury, named after the Roman God of Thievery, has an incredible grey surface, littered with craters. Whilst it may lack an environment, pulverised dust roams across its massive stretches of grey fields, and rocky cavities form the land of mercury, resulting in a lack of any possibility of life, unfortunately. Images taken from powerful telescopes give the resemblance of this planet to Earth's own moon, through the grey colours and rocky formations. From Muggle Space Probes, we know that there have not been any signs of clouds, dust storms, or any form of a source of water, further connecting it to the moon. The Caloris Basin, the largest crater on the planet, stretches for 1,550 kilometres across Mercury's fields of grey;

Mercury's surface is covered with craters, rocks and dust, resulting in a rather barren appearance. It is thought that Mercury's surface greatly resembles that of our Moon which orbits Earth. The study of the surface features by Schiaparelli and his logging of their movements led him to conclude that Mercury always faces the same side towards the Sun. The craters on Mercury's surface range in size from the relatively small, to huge impact craters caused by collisions with asteroids or meteors. The biggest known crater on Mercury, the Caloris Basin, was one of these, with a diameter of 1550km square. The Messenger spacecraft has created a digital imagery of some of Mercury's surface, and identified 15 of these impact craters. There can also be found plains, such as the Odin Planitia, named for the Norse God Odin. There are also mountains, such as the Caloris Montes, valleys such as

With all the hype surrounding the Mercury transit doomsday theory, it almost seems that evil aliens exist on the planet itself. Apparently, that may not seem as outlandish as it sounds. NASA has discovered that life may be possible on the planet although it would hardly be glamorous.

Mercury, named after the Roman God of Thievery, Commerce, and Travel, is the first planet from the Sun. It is unique because it shows at both morning rise and evening set of the sun. It is rocky, heavily cratered, covered in boulders, and also pulverized dust. The majority of it's surface bears a strong resemblance to that of Earth's moon. It's lack of atmosphere causes wild temperature fluctuations. Temperatures can range from 90 kelvin to 700 kelvin thus creating a planet, from all observations, that cannot sustain life--it is geologically dead. Mercury also has a magnetic field generated by the planet's core that can deflect solar wind and which has a magnetosphere that changes. This was surprising for such a slow rotating planet--one that rotates completely every 88 Earth days.

have made it to space, but his extensive knowledge of the ins and outs of the spacecraft

Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the united state running from 1958 through 1963. An early highlight of the Space Race, its goal was to put a man into Earth orbit and return him safely ideally before the Soviet Union. Taken over from the U.S. Air Force by the newly created civilian space agency NASA, it conducted twenty unmanned developmental flights (some using animals), and six successful flights by astronauts. The program, which took its name from the god of travel in Roman mythology, cost $277 million in 1965 US dollars and involved the work of 2 million people. The astronauts were collectively knows as the Mercury Seven and each space craft was given a name with a "7" by its pilot.
