survivable and unlivable conditions. The main dilemma, and theme of the entire film, was the destruction of the International Space Station (ISS) and most of the astronauts on board. Russia launched a missile into space to destroy one of their satellites. This turned into a problem when the launch was successful, but the target was missed and the mission failed. Debris was left spiraling through space at a rapid pace. Dr. Ryan Stone survived the destruction along with

Satellite sensors send bits of binary data to ground stations on Earth for processing into useful meteorological and environmental information enabling enhanced decision making capabilities. Thereby, preventing injuries and fatalities, preserving assets, and reducing time delays. Binary data are comprised of zeroes and ones. One bit contains either a “0” or a “1”. A single bit, in and of itself, does not have a lot of value until it is used. The same is true of information. Information does

Two pairs of sticky feet, a round body and some inspiration by geckos, the amazing lizards that can climb easily on walls, were enough for NASA to create a next generation climbing robot to help the engineers carry repair work on the ISS (International Space Station). After that and the NASA's news rocket design to get us to Mars, you'll believe that everything is possible. GECKOS? Geckos, according to the Wikipedia are lizards living in warm climates and their size ranges from 0.62 to 23.6 inches

and speculations, people are forgetting to ask an important question: do we even need another space race? The original space race took place from the estimated years of 1957 all the way through 1975, starting with the launch of the first man made satellite, the Sputnik I, and ending with the Apollo-Soyuz mission, which contained a Soviet cosmonaut and an American astronaut shaking hands in outer space, closing off the space race with a rather symbolic ending. During the space race, the United States

some people believe that something needs to be done about the debris in space. This trash is space is dangerous to Earth and has already been a threat. According to DOGOnews, “The biggest threat came in July 2011 when scientists noticed American satellite UARS hurtling down. Fortunately, the minivan-sized debris landed in a remote region and caused no harm.” If the debris would’ve landed in a different area, it could’ve caused a lot of damage and harm to people, as well as homes, buildings, cars,

Walking, that’s the original mode of transportation. The only things that could be moved are the things that can be carried and the furthest part of the world was the furthest part a human could walk to. Then came sailboats and wheels and the world was drastically changed forever. Everything changed. No one could walk on water so sailboats were the first things used to travel the rest of the world. There was more land and more water than anyone man could walk to. Sailboats helped with that. When

Name: Yuhao Ren Date: 10/20/2016 Class: ESS 102 Space Debris There are kinds of materials, always floating around in the space. When astronauts are doing the space traveling, it is the worst thing to come across with these materials. Some people may be not familiar with these materials; however, the one I was talking about is called space debris in the term of space science. Space debris is made up with both natural particles and artificial particles, which are called

Few months after the Cosmos 954 reentry, Skylab reentered over the Atlantic Ocean. As Skylab fell, worldwide concern grew. The chances that pieces of Skylab would hit a person or cause property damage were extremely small. However, the Cosmos 954 and Skylab reentries increased awareness that orbiting objects could pose hazards. It propelled the orbital debris research and awareness program. The framers of the U.N.-sponsored space treaties of 1967 and 1972 were not aware of the hazards to space operations

debris comes from collisions (NASA). When old satellites are allowed to orbit on a collision free path they are relatively easy to track, and avoid. However, problems arise once these satellites are involved in collisions. Collisions can break apart

II. Methods of observation A. Surface Measurements Rain gauge observations dating back to 1986 have been used to estimate precipitation rates. Figure 1 shows the distribution of rain gauges around the globe. Precipitation is measured in terms of the total depth of a flat surface area, assuming no water vapor is lost by melting or evaporation. Precipitation depth is measured in inches in the United States and in millimeters for research purposes and most other countries. Frozen precipitation
