Space Shuttle

The Space Shuttle was an interesting exhibit with many fascinating attractions. There were a lot of connections between how the spaceship works and our class, electricity and magnetism. One of the main connections between these two were the tires on the space shuttle. The spaceship only used one set of tires per trip because it needed to have a lot of traction in order to stop the ship in time which means that they can not be reused. Throughout the trip however, the tires go through a lot of change

Introduction The Columbia space shuttle disintegrated on re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere in February of 2003. The astronauts on board had completed a two week mission and were returning home. The program was halted for the next couple of years while the disaster was investigated. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board reported on what if found to be the cause of the tragedy. After take-off a piece of insulation foam fell off and hit the external fuel tank and left wing. The damage to the

Investigation: In 1972, NASA after several attempts started the Space Shuttle Program for space exploration, commercial purposes, and national security tasks and it started developing Columbia as one of the first shuttles in the program. In early of 1981s, Columbia completed its first space mission. On January 2003, Columbia Space Shuttle was ready for STS-107 mission and its 28th flight. The mission was to transport two teams of scientists (7 astronauts in total) to conduct over 80 experiments in

On the cold morning of January 28th, 1986, The Space Shuttle Challenger was launched. Seventy-three seconds into the flight, the space shuttle broke apart, causing the seven deaths of its crew members. Roger Boisjoly, a mechanical engineer for Thiokol brought to NASA’s attention about a failing O-ring safety concern in the shuttles rocket booster. After being ignored by NASA Boisjoly tried to bring the issue of the O-ring to people higher up in his company, all of the people ignored Boisjoly in his

day titled “The Space Shuttle Docking Ring” published on October 18, 2000. At first, I chose this day because it was the day I was born. As I observed the photo and grasped an understanding from the description I realized that this photo ment a lot. It was not just a blurry photo taken on my birthday, it was also a day in were preparations were being made for the first ever permanent crew to board the international space station. The photo itself shows the docking ring on the shuttle extending to get

had occurred in the atmosphere above Texas as the space shuttle called Columbia was on it’s way to land at the Kennedy Space Center. The shuttle itself was on its 28th mission and was just one of the five space shuttles that was used amongst NASA. But on this particular day, it wasn’t like the rest because astronauts are supposed to return home safely; that’s not what happened on this day. There were seven astronauts that were inside the shuttle. Their names were Rick Husband, David Brown, Michael

In the speech that Ronald Reagan gave about the Space Shuttle Challenger gave peace of mind to the nation that was mourning about such a devastating event that they witnessed. The Space Shuttle Challenger was the first space shuttle that had a normal person on it and was going to be a huge leap forward for the space program. But the shuttle had a malfunction and blew up during the employment of going into space. They were not sure what exactly happened when it blew up, they just knew that the whole

National Aeronautics and Space Administration also known as (NASA), was created in the year 1958. It is the leading co-operation in the scientific research, science technology, and the public’s interest in the aerospace technology. Also, since space exploration, it has taught people how to view the world, ourselves as human beings, and the universe in a new and more theoretical way. With that being said, Discovery has been one of the most phenomenal and successful Space Shuttles, after the most tragic

the race for the conquest of outer space began. After the launch of soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957, events moved rapidly for the development of The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in hopes of the United States gaining ground in this race. About 5 decades after NASA’s doors opened, it has become one of the world’s leading agent in the exploration of space. An important part of this exploration was The Space Shuttle Program. These shuttles were to provide transport for satellites

NASA’s Shuttle Program also known as the Space Transportation System, was the first winged manned spacecraft operation to have achieved orbit and land, also the first to use reusable spacecrafts and make multiple flights into various orbits. Although the shuttle program took America to a heighten achievement of orbital transportation, recent closure of the program has baffled many Americans and left questions about the future of the American space missions. The closure of the program by the Obama
