What spacecraft provided the initial data for NASA scientists to determine future mission landing sites on the Moon?

There were a series of probes that did that. It was called the "Ranger" program. If memory serves, Ranger 7 gave the best data. This was back in the early days of the space program, and the Rangers did not have any equipment or capacity to land on the moon. They were launched from Florida like a simple missile and pointed towards the moon. They had a black and white television camera and some other electronics on board, and that's about it. They kept transmitting up until the very last moment before they impacted into the moon's surface, like an arrow hitting a bull's-eye.

What is the speed of a spacecraft?
To orbit the Earth, a speed of 7.9 kilometers/second is required. To escape Earth's gravity, an initial speed of 11.2 kilometers/second is required. To travel to distant planets, the initial speed must be still higher.
A 200 pound astronaut and equipment move with a velocity of 2msec toward an orbiting spacecraft How long will the astronaut need to fire 100 N rochet to stop the motion relative to the spacecraft?
If the man and his equipment weigh 200 pounds on the earth's surface,then their mass is 90.719 kg. (rounded)The acceleration of the package due to a net force of 100N is [ A = F/m ] = 100/90.719 = 1.102 m/s2. (rounded)With this acceleration applied in the direction opposite to his initial velocity,it takes [ V/A ] = 1.814 seconds to stop. (rounded)
How fast can a space shuttle fly?
The speed of flight really depends on what you mean by 'flight'. The shuttle can reach over 1700 mph, but not all that is provided by the shuttle engines. The initial 3000 mph are supplied by the booster rockets.
How does the space shuttle differ from earlier spacecraft?
I remember when the original space shuttle system was being proposed by NASA, it was supposed to be a two spacecraft type reusable system that would dramatically reduce the costs of putting both satellites and men in space. The original two spacecraft types in the system were:Space Shuttle: to launch men and payloads into low earth orbit and return them.Orbital Transfer Vehicle: manned vehicle parked in orbit after initial launch to carry payloads back and forth between low earth orbit and any desired higher orbit up to geosynchronous orbit.This system would allow for placing satellites in any orbit, returning them for maintenance or repair at the shuttle or in the factory back on earth, then placing them back in orbit.Congress immediately killed the second half of the system, to save costs, the half of the system that was really the whole purpose for having any of the system at all.The key difference between the shuttle system and earlier spacecraft was reusability, as many components as possible were to be reusable as much as possible; all earlier spacecraft every component was one time use throwaway. The new space shuttle replacement goes back to everything is one time use throwaway.

Does the universe continue to contract shrink expand or stay the same as a result of the initial big bang according to scientists?
According to scientists the universe continues to expand as a result of the initial big bang.

Initial evacuation and shelter information is provided in the green pages.
Does a Job Safety Analysis determine initial hazards in a workplace?
No, a baseline analysis identifies initial hazards in the workplace.
What is an initial governing principle?
Determine and Communicate protective measures
Who is responsible for ensuring that initial and refresher is provided to certifying officers?
supervisors
Are food service facilities provided electrical power and potable water after the initial phase is completed?
Negative, during the initial phase
How do you calculate velocity of with continuous acceleration and time?
Ifv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitya = Accelerationandt = Timethen, provided the measurement units are consistent,v = u + atIfv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitya = Accelerationandt = Timethen, provided the measurement units are consistent,v = u + atIfv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitya = Accelerationandt = Timethen, provided the measurement units are consistent,v = u + atIfv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitya = Accelerationandt = Timethen, provided the measurement units are consistent,v = u + at

Which is an initial response governing principle?
Determine and communicate protective measures
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
