UBC Rocket Research Paper

This paper dives into the architecting and design of the Boeing 747, the world’s first jumbo jet. The key architects of this colossal system will be introduced along with the system requirements that led to the system design decisions of the 747. Major subsystems of the aircraft will be examined, along with the legacy and future of the system today. Heuristics applied throughout the architecting of the system as well as the numerous trade-off analyses performed will be explained as the paper progresses.

Crew 697 has a 100% advancement rate, with all participating youth earning additional awards, including 4 Eagle Scouts. 100% of our high school graduates went on to attend a University. The Crew has performed over 800 man-hours of community service to churches, fraternal organizations, and state

Be it for Valentine Day or the Thanksgiving Day holiday, Florida's magnificent region, commonly known as the Space Coast, provides the perfect scenery for romantic, get-away dates--day or night. No matter what season of the year you're planning your special rendezvous, Florida's countless premier attractions, eateries and beaches give couples a unique opportunity to explore the Space Coast of northeast Florida.

When I was an elementary school kid I would wake up early every morning before school grab my bowl of cheerios and curl up in my moms’ felt cheetah print chair and turn on the television to watch my favorite show, Rocket Power. The characters of the Nickelodeon show that aired during the early 2000s had the most awesome life! Otto and Reggie Rocket and their friends Twister and Squid lived right next to the beach as well as a pier that almost identically resembled the Santa Monica pier with the Ferris-wheel and the roller coasters. Not only did they live in a great location, but they were also insanely good action sports athletes as well! Once the kids finished surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, roller-skating, mountain biking, or playing roller hockey, they trekked to the top of the pier to the Shore Shack, which was owned by Ray Rocket, Otto and Reggie’s’ dad, for some tasty burgers. How could you not be jealous of the Rocket Power squad? This show was insanely relatable to me at the time that I was watching it because all I did was hang out with my friends after school and play sports with them. It was almost like watching a show about my own crew. I, however, may not have realized at the age that I was watching this show, how much of an impact it would truly have on my entire life!

The launch of the Challenger shuttle was highly popular and publicized event because the National Aeronautics and Space Administration had conducted a nationwide search, searching for a teacher to send on the flight. NASA wanted to show people of America and the world that space traveling can be routine like traveling through an airplane. After a long search, NASA found the teacher, Christa McAuliffe. President Reagan was conducting a search addressed to primary and secondary schools looking for an American to fly aboard the Space Shuttle, which is how Ms. McAuliffe heard NASA’s nationwide search on a car radio one evening. She was not sure if she would be able to be part of such exciting adventure when she procrastinated and submitted in her

According to a recent study “the surface hardness of a Natural grass field and a synthetic turf field shows that synthetic fields had almost 2x less than natural grass, which would make synthetic safer after those rainy days (Daviscourt 1).” Rocket Booster Stadium should upgrade to a turf field because it is good economically in the long run. Also Rocket Booster Stadium should upgrade to a turf field because conditions are safer and more playable. Even though the cost of turf fields are out of the roof, Rocket Booster Stadium should upgrade to a turf field because of the new technology used in turf fields results in a safer playing surface, and the

As my first semester at Husky Game Development, it took a little bit to get the ball rolling. It was a challenge figuring out exactly what team or teams I would be working with this semester, thanks to me joining halfway through the year, and the team changes that occurred within HGD. I didn’t know what teams I was working for until around the 3rd week of the semester, so that was my first obstacle.

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project...will be more exciting, or more impressive to mankind, or more important...and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish” -John F. Kennedy, May 25, 1961

Our planet is filled with water to be more accurate 96.5% of our planet is water but we have a big problem only the 3% of all this water is fresh water. In recent decades the planet is facing very important climatic changes and water is a natural resource and therefore this has been severely damaged. Since the industrial revolution in1760 the water pollution has been greater, reaching our rivers, lakes, streams and seas. In the last decade man has developed new technology to try to solve this problem that is affecting many people around the globe. One of the most famous is the Slingshot created by Dane Kamen this machine can transform contaminated water, salt water and sewer water in freshwater. The Slingshot have a vapor compression distiller that is between two tanks these tanks are connected by tow hoses. One of the tanks contains freshwater and the other one have bad water using solar energy distills and vaporizes contamination, and makes freshwater. This invention is now well known in the

It was a February afternoon in 2003 and Jason was sitting on his porch waiting for the re-entry of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Then Jason saw a bright flash out of the corner of his eye and saw the shuttle looking as if it were a comet shooting through the atmosphere. Jason took out his camera to record it. When he zoomed it look like there were fire balls around it. That is when the fireballs spread out he realized the shuttle had burned up. “This is why I don’t want you to become an astronaut,” Jason’s mom said. Jason has always had a passion to be an astronaut and go to space, but when he was four he got a bad disease in his right leg and had to be amputated.

For as long as I could remember, I was a very imaginative child. My creativity first started growing into many different areas, however, it ended up blossoming in one area in particular - Interior Design. Over time, my passion for design grew, and continues to grow more and more each day and as a result, I have chosen to pursue a career as a Interior Designer through Ryerson’s Interior Design program. I would be an excellent student to have admitted into your program as my participation in extracurriculars and my academic performance prove myself to be a committed, determined, and hardworking student who will use the skills and abilities I have learned to its fullest potential within your program.

Born in Wirsitz, Germany (now part of Poland) on March 23, 1912 and died on June 16, 1977. Dr. Wernher von Braun was german, later American. Aerospace engineer and space architect credited with inventing the V-2 rocket for Hitler and the Saturn V for the United States. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Germany and the father of rocket technology and space science in the United States.He spent much of his time building an cars in his father's garage instead of school. Von Braun's grades improved after his father transferred him to a boarding school. Before bedtime he was permitted to examine the stars with a small telescope that his mother bought him. Thus began his interest in astronomy.

When my training began with Wrightbus to become a first line manager in total there were six people setting out on the journey to lead teams on the production floor. As part of the ten week training programme the operations director handed us a group project where he wanted us as a group to introduce a new system to manage and maintain small tools owned by the company throughout the factory. This would obviously test our skills as team players and was obviously a massive challenge as the issues with tools

Upon completion of my undergraduate degree in Aviation Management, I will pursue a career with a major airline. Not only will I realize a life long dream but also it will be a personal accomplishment in an academic road that was often complicated. Ideals may change, values do not and some things just take a little more time to achieve.
