telecommunication systems in the world. According to the NASA DSN official website, the full name of DSN is Deep Space Network, which is famous as the system used to do the two-way communication between the Earth and the spacecraft or satellite in the space. (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory)Two-way communication, contains the uplink and downlink, means it can send information to the space and collect information from

High above our beloved watery globe, on the shore of the cosmic ocean, a winged spacecraft approaches a gigantesque space station pirouetting in the vast dark. The pilots of this vessel make use of flat-screen computer displays to match their rotation with that of the massive orbital outpost. As the shuttle spins, a logo of the world's largest airline, emblazoned on its side, comes into view. This is not the present, but it was to be the past. A scene from Stanley Kubrick's 1968 science-fiction

Two weeks further into the journey communications have been restored and they were halfway to mars. On the NASA space shuttle, Orbiter 2, mission captain Rex Hart and David Brown were on the first ever manned mission to Mars. The Mission had been rushed and moved almost 5 months ahead of schedule. It had been rushed in order to make contact with our new found alien neighbors called the Calibrians. They were discovered through a new technology that had been designed for connecting computers and smartphones

Angel Benson Composition Professor Bagot October 13, 2017 Pain You are not the person on the outside that you are on the inside but the pain ties humans together. “Boy 21” a novel by Matthew Quick demonstrates a relationship between two characters who believe they are so different-but pain due to tragedy bring them closer.Quick’s novel addresses the coming-of-age tropes of identity and community, as well as the confusion often evidenced during this adolescent timeframe, a period often infused

Advancement of NASA Technology Can the advancement of technology help us to learn more about Mars? The technology that NASA uses makes the mission to Mars possible. Each mission to Mars is part of a progressing sequence of modernization that relies on completed missions for modern technologies and devotes its own innovations to future missions. This sequence enables NASA to continue to push the extent of what is presently achievable, while relying on technologies that are already proven to work as

Introduction reception station At the beginning, the operation of building a reception station required considerable means, and only specialized institutions had access to these techniques. Nowadays, because of the recent development of micro-computers and signal processing, it is now possible for even a small institution to have its own station able to receive net images from certain meteorological satellites such as NOAA and METEOSAT satellites with affordable costs [1] The techniques of weather

Billions of dollars is used every year by the world's space exploration program. But does this benefit us at all? Good morning 8 romero and mr mcgowan today i will be talking about how space exploration is a waste of money. Why do we need to waste our money to find out if there is water on Mars or not? We could be spending all that money on beneficial things like finding a cure for cancer or feeding the starving millions around the globe, the needs of humanity should always be our first priority

In 2011, NASA invested over $4.5 million in the state of Kansas by encouraging small, high-tech companies to partner with NASA to help meet its research and development needs in key technology areas (Dunbar, “NASA's Economic Impacts”). Henceforth, an investment in NASA is an investment in the country. Since 1958, NASA has contributed to the United States by supporting the national economy, making technological advances, and inspiring people around the world. Increasing the federal budget for NASA

The advancement of UAV abilities and technology in recent years has promoted substantial scientific and commercial research into the application and management of this technology. In some areas of development UAV capability has surpassed the regional flight policies and capabilities of manned operations. One of the predominant implementations of UAVs pertains to automated persistent monitoring and surveillance (Nikhil Nigam 2014). Automated persistent surveillance is the use of sensors to continuously

ISS could stage mission specialists for missions traversing in or near LEO. One example of this is the Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) retrieval mission called the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM). The current ARM mission plan is to dispatch an unmanned spacecraft collect and redirect a boulder from a NEA to lunar orbit14. Once there, a human mission would be dispatched to study the asteroid. As the drive of the mission would be primarily scientific discovery, the composition of astronauts would lean heavily
