NASA

There are currently 15 partner nations involved in the International Space Station program. These partners include countries such as the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and several others. Each partner contributes resources and expertise to the operation and maintenance of the ISS.

Space rockets and space shuttles are both vehicles designed to carry astronauts and cargo into space. They both rely on powerful engines to propel them beyond Earth's atmosphere and into space. Additionally, both vehicles require precise engineering and technology to ensure successful missions and safe returns to Earth.

The Space Shuttle used two solid rocket boosters during liftoff. These solid rocket boosters provided the additional thrust needed to propel the shuttle into orbit before separating and falling back to Earth.

The space shuttle uses about 1.6 million pounds (725,748 kg) of fuel during launch. This includes a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen used by the main engines, and solid rocket boosters filled with solid propellant.

They haven't scheduled it yet, but May 8 2011 at the earliest.

The grainy images from the moon landings were a result of the technology available at the time. The cameras used had lower resolutions compared to modern standards. Additionally, the images were transmitted back to Earth through a process that further degraded the quality.

I don't know that it failed, but Explorer I was launched in 1958.

To research, explore and develop knowledge about space. To learn about the universe, solar system and earth and to establish a permenant human presence in space. Also in response to the launch of the Soviets spacecraft Sputnik.

The oxygen we use everyday in a breathable form is not normally found in space beyond our own atmosphere. The plant ecosystem here converts carbon dioxide to oxygen. NASA must transport large containers of air for the astronauts to breath on space missions. Over last few years NASA and other space agencies have started using oxygen generators, some of which convert water to oxygen. These devices are very expensive and not very efficient, but are improving over time.

NASA is established to try and develop new medicines and cures for diseases such as cancer and AIDS. NASA were able to grow crystals in space that were not able to grow on earth that could help fight diseases. NASA is also figuring that when Earth is about to not support life anymore, they will try to move people to a planet such as Mars so the human race can survive.

You know you are in space when you are beyond Earth's atmosphere and not experiencing any air resistance or gravity. Typically, this is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) above Earth's surface, known as the Kármán line.

Yes, multi-stage rockets require more force to keep moving because they must first overcome the weight of the entire rocket, including the unused stages. As each stage is jettisoned, the remaining stages become lighter, making it easier to maintain acceleration.

After leaving NASA, Sally Ride became a professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego and started her own company, Sally Ride Science, to promote science education, particularly for girls. She was also a member of several committees and organizations dedicated to advancing STEM education and women in science.

To explore space, the last frontier. Of course, nowadays we as a country don't care about national honor very much, so it won't matter to most if we aren't the ones to discover new planets, galaxies, and possibly even life forms or habitable planets.

in 1962 John Glenn rode Mercury six and lasted 5hrs

NASA is a government agency, specifically a civilian organization within the federal government of the United States. It is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.

NASA experienced several setbacks during the Apollo program, including the tragic Apollo 1 fire that resulted in the loss of three astronauts. However, they ultimately succeeded in landing astronauts on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.

NASA primarily uses rocket-grade kerosene, liquid hydrogen, and liquid oxygen as fuel for its spacecraft. These fuels are sourced from various suppliers and manufacturers, with stringent quality control measures in place to ensure their reliability and safety for space missions. NASA also uses other propellants and fuels for specific missions and spacecraft, depending on their requirements.

It is a little burnt but the launch pad is designed to take extreme heat and pressure created by the space shuttle. If it wasn't, they would have to make a new launch pad every launch and those things are worth a pretty penny...

This question was posted on April 6, 2011. Here it is October of 2012, and I'm still waiting for

the so-called "following" list of multiple choices to appear. If this keeps up, the near future of

manned space exploration will be here before I can start selecting the right answer from it.

The CD was recovered from the Space Shuttle Columbia wreckage after the tragic accident in 2003. It was given to Rick Husband's wife and family as a token of remembrance and tribute to the fallen astronauts.

After returning from their Apollo missions, astronauts were not deported. They underwent debriefing and quarantine procedures to ensure they were not carrying any harmful pathogens. They were then allowed to return to their homes and families.
