Debris This paper is mainly aiming to examine the concept of space debris and its influence on the space environment. Space debris is widely acknowledged as the remains of the space objects made by human beings, such as consumed rocket stages, used satellites and fragments from the collision or disintegration of these space objects. As a result of the rapid development of space technology and man’s growing interest in exploring space, space debris has become an inevitable issue and an increasingly severe

271 artificial satellites currently in space orbiting the earth. An artificial satellite is a hand-made machine that orbits the planet earth to help in many different ways in communications, documenting information, sending and receiving signals. A satellite is a moon, planet, or a machine that orbit a planet or a star. There are many types of satellites and each one is used for different reasons. Some satellites are used to send and receive television signals. Some other satellites are used in communications

models and their changes with the solar cycles is to track and identify active satellites as well as debris in the low earth orbit (LEO) and other higher orbits. Collision avoidance and reentry prediction for large debris and satellites are important data which can be derived as a result of precise estimation of drag. For satellites meant to be in its orbit for a significant time, it is important to know when the satellites need a drag ‘make-up’ maneuver, and also for mission planning. This section

​What would you do if your great grandpa never lived because, he had died in the space race. You never excised because, animal testing never happened. The animals were never sent to space and he had died from the presser of the take off. The skys of space is never explored and the picture of the earth is never taken. The job request is never closed, space government's programs would eventually close, packed away and employes moved to other governments jobs. (this is my estimation of what would have

Space science and technology and their applications, such as satellite communications, Earth observation systems and satellite navigation technologies, provide indispensable tools for achieving viable long-term solutions for sustainable development and can contribute more effectively to the efforts to promote the developments in the world, improve people’s lives, conserve natural resources and enhance the preparedness for and mitigation of natural disaster(and consequences). Efforts are, therefore

In late July of 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced that the United States would launch several small satellites, which was to begin July 1, 1957. Within a couple days, the Russians announced similar intentions, but the Soviet satellite would be larger than the American one. By mid-1957, the official Soviet press suggested the first launch was months away. Few people in the United States paid much attention to the

ballistic missiles that could be used to launch objects into space. This became the starting line for the race into space. Four days apart in unrelated announcements, both the Soviets and the Americans announced their plans to launch artificial Earth satellite by 1957 or 1958. On 29 July 1955, James C. Hagerty, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s press secretary,

Have you ever wondered how much we spend on space exploration annually? It costs 19 billion dollars each year to fund one company, NASA for space exploration. This is a lot of money that can be used elsewhere, and not to mention all the resources we’re wasting for fuel and rockets. NASA isn’t making scientific discoveries relevant to the world today and the problems today. While NASA is focusing on finding planets for the future, we have problems in the world today that should be prioritized before

 Limited Documentation In the Public Domain Numerous websites exist providing information on the utilization of weather satellite data. The National Weather Service (NWS) maintains a site that include data dumps from the sensors. The site provides information on the number of observations from the various sensors with hourly counts in some cases. It also includes a monthly average and whether the source information is critical. It is unclear from data available in the public domain regarding

The movie, The Core, directed by Jon Ameil, is a disaster/thriller film focusing on a team that must go on a mission, where they drill down to the core of the Earth in attempt to restart the rotation and thus for save the world from catastrophe. Although entertaining, the movie has faced some harsh criticism for the laughably “bad science” meaning the science portrayed in the movie is oftentimes less than factual, and not consistent with actual science such as the core freezing, landing a space
