Jobs done at the International Space Station include conducting scientific research experiments, maintaining station systems and equipment, conducting spacewalks to repair and upgrade the station, communicating with mission control on Earth, and participating in public outreach activities to educate and inspire people about space exploration.

The main method of getting to and from the station is the Russian Soyuz, which seats 3 and is launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.

The station crew is 6 people, so there are usually two of them docked to the Russian segment of the station, also serving as lifeboats in case of an emergency.

There is also the U.S. Space Shuttle which has a crew of 7, but can only stay at the station for about 2 weeks. The Shuttle will be retired at the end of 2011.

A space station orbits the Earth at a high speed, typically around 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour). This speed allows it to counteract the pull of gravity and remain in orbit around the Earth.

As of 2021, around 0.4% of NASA employees are of Indian nationality, representing a small but growing minority within the agency. This includes scientists, engineers, administrators, and other professionals from India contributing to NASA's diverse workforce.

NASA does not own any aircraft. Instead, NASA relies on a variety of aircraft provided by commercial and government partners for its research and missions.

On average, Kennedy Space Center welcomes about 1 million visitors every month. The number may vary slightly depending on factors such as the season, holidays, and special events.

From what I read, it was an unmanned mission.

The three stages of Apollo 11 were named Saturn V, Command Module (CM), and Lunar Module (LM). The Saturn V was the launch vehicle that propelled the spacecraft into orbit, the Command Module housed the astronauts during the journey to the moon and back, and the Lunar Module allowed two astronauts to land on and take off from the lunar surface.

we can learn many things from unmanned space probes, they can tackle tough terrains and function without air or lots of food, they can last long periods of time in space and don't get old.. for some space missions it can take years to get there for instance it would take 3 years to get to our closest neighbour mars..

because its hollow!, maybe? haha, the moon is quite mysterious thats for sure, its bigger than makes any sense for the size of our planet. I mean look at the size of the moons of jupiter and saturn, the biggest planets in the solar system, and then we have a similar sized or bigger satellite, than those planets with very powerful gravitation fields, its just weird man.

NASA took a slinky on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1985 to demonstrate the concept of microgravity. The slinky floated and moved differently in space compared to on Earth, helping to illustrate physics principles.

We currently use the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to reform the previous Julian calendar. It is the most widely used calendar system in the world today.

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.
