Conclusion 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

Computer Science: An Open Field JT Raber Indian Valley High School  With computers, we went to the moon. With computers, are revolutionizing communication. With computers, we will become a utopia. The greatest technology of the modern world is computers without a doubt. Because this is the case, there are multiple career variants in the field of computer science, ranging from analog to digital, offline to online, and structured to creative. Digital graphic designers, software developers, web developers

One of the main challenges that face interplanetary travel is the production of very large velocity changes, necessary for travel between planets in the solar system. The Sun's gravitational pull affects how spacecrafts move. The farther from the sun the slower the spacecraft and the faster they are closer to the sun. Additionally, two planets have different distances from the sun and this causes a difference on their speeds around the sun. This therefore means that the spaceships traveling closer

Space Junk Today, speeding past our Earth ten times faster than a bullet (tweentribune), are millions of pieces of space junk ranging in size from flecks of paint to entire Satellites (NASA). To most people this does not sound like much of a problem, but even a fleck of paint moving 17,500 miles per hour or more can cause significant damage to spacecraft and space walkers alike. As more collisions take place and as new items enter the atmosphere the statistical probability of a collision will increase

In March of 1926, Dr. Robert Goddar successfully launch the first modern rocket propelled by liquid fuel (First liquid-fueled rocket). Before this time Rockets were launch using either gun powder of steam to propel their rockets, but what Dr. Robert Goddar was more than just launch a simple rocket, but open up new possibilities and a look at the future. Before this time rockets were used in wars by the Chinese as they were attached to arrows and/or spheres to strike their enemy (Rockets in Ancient

current satellites were vulnerable, but he highly doubted the probability for the Mars to be directly hit by a corona mass ejection. He told Valentina that more research need to be done to see if a new communication satellite network is necessary. Three weeks later, Wernher informed Valentina that his research team concluded that the risk for Mars communication satellites to be destroyed during solar activities were too small, so the Mars Base would not launch any new communication satellites in the

agency NASA is planning to launch its Space Launch System (SLS) (http://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/sls/sls1.html) into orbit to try out a series of about 12 science experiments above a low orbit around the Earth that will include sending nano-satellites up into space. The SLS is NASA’s heavy lift launch rocket that is the biggest and strongest of rocket boosters they have ever had. The SLS recently completed a series of successful ground operations, so now it’s ready for its next adventure to

the first country to send a satellite to space. On October 4th 1957 the USSR sent a Russian-built satellite to space. Working with German rocket engineers, who had worked on the V-2 rocket program, Russia spent about a decade after WW2 planning how to send a satellite into space. The Soviets had planned to build a 1,000 – 1,400 kilogram satellite, but they wanted to do it during 1957 -58, the year the U.S publicly announced that they were planning on sending a satellite into orbit, so they had to

SpaceX Satellite Launch Planned for Today If all goes well in today’s SpaceX satellite launch, Turkmenistan (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkmenistan ) will have its first communications satellite placed into orbit this evening. The satellite is scheduled to travel into space at 6:14pm EST, with a 60 percent change of good weather in the forecast. Turkmenistan used to be part of the Soviet republic, and is now considered as belonging to Central Asia. The main concern with the weather would be the chance

MengYun Zeng(1239987) ESS 102 AC Erika Harnett April 14, 2016 Space Debris Probably most people do not know but this is a severe thing that there is more than 170 million space debris floating within 35000 km of Earth and over 29,000 are a size larger than 10cm (ESA). Even a 1-cm debris probably could disable a spacecraft (ESA). What makes this problem worse is space debris also crash into each other and create hundred more pieces each time and this chain reaction will create a dense cloud of space
