The International Space Station is only visible in a given place every few weeks and the times vary. Sometimes it is harder to see, like if it is passing in daylight. Lots of websites will give you information on where it is and if it is passing your area. Heavens Above is one such site.

This is way too broad a question to be answered here, but I'll give you just one positive example:

Back in the 80's, a group of NASA scientists was analyzing data recovered from unmanned space vehicles that had flown by the planet Venus. They discovered that a group of chemical compounds present in Venus' atmosphere was effectively breaking down ozone (O3) into diatomic oxygen (O2) at a rapid pace. This was causing dangerous solar radiation to rain down on Venus' surface, rendering it inhospitable. (It's already inhospitable anyway though due to the extremely high temperature.) Then, the scientists wondered if those same chemicals might be present in our atmosphere, where they could do similar damage to our ozone layer. They looked, and they found them. Sure enough, these compounds, called chlorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, and other halogenated methanes, were not only present, but on the increase. We had to really hustle to stop the worldwide production of them, and it very well may have saved our butts from extinction. All because we sent robot probes to Venus. Thanks, NASA!

What is the North American Space Agency?

Asked by Wiki User

Such a thing does not exist - it is most likely an (incorrect) guess at what the acronym NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration - stands for. NASA is the US civilian space agency.

The confusion may result from the space-monitoring activities of the Canadian and US Air Force command known as NORAD - North American Aerospace Defense Command - headquartered in Colorado Spings and in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

What does the Canadian Space Agency do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well unknown to many Canada has an advanced space program and it trains future astronauts through the Canadian Astronaut Corps. This is evident from the fact that about 10 (I don't recall the exact number) astronauts from Canada have flown along side US astronauts and Russian cosmonauts. Chris Hadfield is the most common name that comes to mind. They are pretty experienced I must say. And then there is the Canadarm, the robotic arm manufactured by Canada that is an absolute vital component of the International Space Station. Without it there can be no fittings or repairs.
