Satellite imagery

(Kring) From 1962, NASA had provided the framework for commercial companies to enter into the world of spaceflight, when Kennedy signed into law the Communications Satellite Act of 1962. (Communications Satellite Act of 1962) This act provided the framework for private companies to design, manufacture, and operate their own satellites, while still only offering their launch services on the Saturn V, THOR, Atlas, and Antares rockets.

Nasa is preparing for 2029 Nasa has been preparing for the future of 2029. They are working on space prisons so it is hard for the inmate’s to escape this space prison because they will die when the get outside of there cell’s. Nasa has already been building the huge space jail and is getting ready to test to see if the jail will work without killing all of the inmates. How the space prison is going to work, Is by making the call’s in a thick bulletproof glass and outside of the glass is just nothing

positioned on Earth? We should investigate. With the dispatch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957, humankind started its adventure to achieve the stars. Yet, in spite of the fact that the primary test in space came back to Earth after just three short months, it commenced a progression of dispatches that propelled individuals around the globe as well as filled the locale with huge lumps of latent metal. Inert satellites, the upper phases of dispatch vehicles, tossed bits left over from detachment

On October 4th 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first man-made object into space. The launched a satellite named Sputnik. Although the launch into space was successful, Sputnik wasn’t built properly and lost functionality due to the chemical batteries failing. It eventually decayed 92 days after its launch. Sputnik may have been a failure at first, but it was one of the main factors that started the Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union. In the United States, Sputnik was an unwelcome

Sputnik and Laika were very important to the space race. Sputnik was the first satellite in space and Laika was the first living creature in space. The Soviet Union created Sputnik and Sputnik 2. Inside Sputnik 2 was Laika the dog. Having a dog in Sputnik 2 caused problems with people. The Sputnik blasted off the space race. Sputnik was the size of a beach ball. Inside it had a basic transmitter that would send signals back to earth. It was 148 pounds. The diameter is 22 inches. The big steel ball

Sputnik The Soviet Union’s creation, construction, and successful launch of Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite, on October 4, 1957, had great effects on the U.S.A., its people, its government, and its industry. When the Soviet Union first announced it was creating and constructing an artificial satellite, few in the U.S. took them seriously. Sputnik’s successful launch shocked many U.S. citizens because up until then many had thought that Russia was far less technologically advanced

History of Satellite Communications The first idea of satellite communication came from an article in 1945 named Wireless World, where Author C. Clarke described the use of manned satellites in 24 hour orbits to distribute television programs. However, the first person to carefully evaluate the technical and financial aspects of such a venture was John R. Pierce of Bell Telephone Laboratories (Whalen, n.d.). In a 1954 speech and 1955 article, Pierce described the usefulness of a communications

Satellite Surveillance I. Preface My interest in satellite surveillance did not really appear to after I saw the movie "Enemy of the State" in 1998. The synopsis of the movie is: Robert Dean (Will Smith) is a labor lawyer who is unknowingly in possession of evidence related to a serious politically motivated crime. Government agents eager to hide their guilt believe that Dean is on to them, and proceed to turn his life upside-down, ruin his reputation, and frame him for various incidents,

-placing both remote sensing and communications satellites into orbit, creating the largest cluster in the world, and providing unique data to Indian industry and agriculture. Continual performance upgrades have increased the payload capacity of the rocket significantly since then. By this time,with the launch of the PSLV not far away, it had been decided that work should begin on the next class of launch vehicles, intended to place larger satellites into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), and thus

3800 launches led to about 25000 observable space objects larger than 10 cm of which 8300 were still in orbit by September 1997. Only 6% of the catalogued orbit population are operational spacecraft, while 50% is said to be due to "decommissioned satellites," spent upper stages, and objects such as launch adapter and lens covers, which are mission related. The other 44% is originating from 140 on-orbit fragmentations. These events have been the main source that has generated a population of objects
