Government Space Industry Many Americans have grown up in a world that has conquered space. They spent their time in elementary school reading about moon landings in their history books and watching countries work together to build the International Space Station on the news. Though previous American and Russian space programs pioneered engineering technologies; such as reusable rocket boosters and multiuse shuttles. Recently NASA has made a decision that has defined the future of space travel. This decision

Space Age How did the start of NASA and the space program change Florida? In 1962 NASA created a new launch center on the east coast of Florida in Brevard County’s Cape Canaveral. This location was originally being used as a missile testing center. The space age changed Florida forever. Since its founding NASA has been dedicated to the advancement of aeronautics and space science. When NASA first arrived to Brevard County the area was a very rural, agricultural area with thousands of acres being

accommodate their needs. After the Falcon 9 explosion in September last year, SpaceX is looking into alternatives for its launches. Recently, reports indicate that SpaceX is going to continue its launches from Cape Canaveral but it will not be launching from its normal pad at the Air Force Station - Launch Complex 40. Instead, SpaceX will be rocketing out of Launch Complex 39A. Launch Complex 39A is the historic launchpad that was used for the first Moon mission, as reported by The Verge. NASA used

Elon Musk's SpaceX has successfully landed a Falcon 9 rocket, so we can now officially call the CEO the real-life Tony Stark. Only a real world Iron Man could get into this many business ventures and actually succeed. It's Been a Long Time Coming for SpaceX and the Falcon 9 Rockets After two failed landings this year, SpaceX has finally done it. The astrological community is having a party over this successful landing. This December 21, the company launched a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket, and its

On May 30, 1971, an unmanned space probe, named the Mariner 9, was launched into space from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Its mission: to study the atmosphere and the surface of the Martian planet. Where it contributed greatly to the exploration of Mars. Originally, the mission was planned to consist of two spacecraft to orbit Mars, the Mariner 8 and the Mariner 9. However, when Mariner 8 was launched on May 9, 1971, it failed to launch properly and crashed in the Atlantic Ocean about

didn’t see Sputnik in the night sky but it was more what we felt in the air; hurt pride. But I also felt like it was the beginning of a great competition, one that I would have the privilege of competing in. I grew up in an environment of competition with three older brothers in Cocoa Beach Florida. I would often walk to the beach or sit on our deck with my brothers to watch the rocket launches from the launch pad in Cape Canaveral. Then we would go and launch our model rockets on our street. We would

SpaceX program maintains launch sites at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California, and Boca Chica, Texas. The company is current working on the most powerful operational rocket in the world. The rocket will have the ability to lift into orbit over 53 metric tons

The Genesis space mission, now when I hear the word Genesis I think of two things. The book of genesis like in the holy bible or terminator genisys which is same word two different meaning. In this case, it's a spacecraft that collected samples of solar-winds. And what are solarwinds, you ask? Well here’s a brief paragraph of what solar-winds are.
