NASA

NASA uses a wide range of equipment for space exploration, including spacecraft such as the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station, telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope, robotic rovers like Curiosity on Mars, and various scientific instruments for studying space and celestial bodies. They also use specialized suits for astronauts, communication systems, and ground-based facilities for mission control and research.

The NASA plant minder, a smart plant growth system for space gardening, was developed by NASA scientists to help astronauts grow plants in space. The system was created as a sustainable way to provide fresh food and oxygen for long-duration space missions.

While on Earth, the O2 tank had its wiring damaged during a heating process. The meter registering the temperature inside the tank only went up as high as they wanted the temperature to go, so it had no way of displaying "it's too hot!".

When in use (a motorized stirring process to keep the slushy O2 loose) the wiring caught fire, and the tank detonated. Things burn very quickly and powerfully when given all the pure O2 it needs! I believe the wiring diameter was wrong too, it had not been thickened when they made the voltage 32 volts, from some lower figure. I am not 100% perfectly certain of this but it is how I remember it. If you want to get an idea of what went on inside the tank, see the below YouTube video!

The next launch STS132 is schuedled for May 14th in the afternoon. SpaceShuttleLaunchTOurs.com are allowing you to put your name down to order tickets to view the launch. I would recommend viewing it from the NASA cuaseway.

There are 2 more launches after this. The final 2, one in July and one September.

They, the international community, pushed their contributions up into space and docked with the space station. This is a science vessel that multiple nations have added to. It will always be a multi nation venture.

NASA is an executive branch agency in the United States government. Its administrator is selected by the President of the United States and approved by the Senate. Jim Bridenstine currently serves as the administrator of NASA.

The last space shuttle launch took place on July 8, 2011, with the space shuttle Atlantis flying the final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program, STS-135. Since then, NASA has relied on other vehicles, such as SpaceX's Crew Dragon, for crewed missions to space.

The space shuttle tiles were bonded to the shuttle's skin using a unique adhesive called "Columbus Polymer." This adhesive was specifically developed to withstand the extreme temperatures of space reentry and provide thermal protection to the shuttle.

AMMD stands for "Aircraft Maintenance Manual Deficiency." It refers to a discrepancy or issue identified in an aircraft maintenance manual that needs to be addressed and corrected to ensure the aircraft's safety and airworthiness.

That would be Alan B. Shepard Jr, on May 5, 1961. A very short trip. 15.5 minutes, 116 miles altitude, 303 statute miles, 5134 mph, and splashdown. I was in the first grade and he was was front-page news. Many will mistake John Glenn as the first into space, with his complete orbit of the earth on Feb 20 1962. Looking back on the early development of space propulsion rockets, I realize how brave these guys were. There were so many Titan rocket failures prior to the Mercury-Redstone program.

It wasn't. People look at how shadows look on the Moon but forget to compare them with shadows on Earth, which also appear to be at angles, especially on uneven ground. And the Moon's surface is very uneven, but it is not easy to tell in some of the pics. If you could somehow hover over the Apollo sites, you would see the shadows as parallel, because they actually are. It is just the wide-angle lens and the uneven ground, etc. making it look weird.

First, the Moon is about 240,000 miles from Earth. Second, the Shuttle couldn't go there on a bet. If you are talking about an average speed of 12,000 miles an hour, then obviously the answer is 20 hours to go 240,000.

Well, if you mean as a scientist, NASA hires people with experience in various fields. Many have doctoral degrees in engineering, computer science/programming, biology, physics, chemistry, etc. As an astronaut, many have previously been in the air force or have experience flying.

The robotic arm of the international space station is officially called the Remote Manipulator System or RMS for short. In Canada it is usually referred to as the Canadarm, due the the fact that is was built in Canada.

Space shuttle Challenger exploded on the 28th of January 1986.

People who work at NASA are typically called "NASA employees" or "NASA staff." They can have various roles within the organization, such as scientists, engineers, astronauts, administrators, and technicians.

The International Space Station was not finished at a specific point in time. Construction of the ISS began in 1998 and has been ongoing, with modules continuously being added and replaced to expand and maintain the station.

Simple! they send people to space to investigate space! The moon is an example! people are sent there to check out the moon, to find theories and discoveries. An example of a discovery: the moon was a meteorite that hit Earth , and been orbiting Earth by Earths gravitational force. they must have found that out by its craters or something! They could have also measured how much gravity is in moon.

One main function is to manuver the shutles gas tanks so the shuttle could stay in space flying. The other function is to add more fenger-5 fuel to make the shuttle's materials work slowly which is important. There is your answer my young student.

Either Dr Wehrner von Braun, a rocket scientist, or Dr Edward Murphy, Jr, who worked for Mc-Donnell-Dougles, a builder of space vehicles. Dr Murphy is famous for, "Murphy's Law", which made the space program possible by minimizing mistakes.

The name of the space shuttle was Challenger.

Apollo 11 used the Saturn V rocket. It was used on Apollo 4, 6, 8, 9,10, 11, 12, 13 ,14 ,15, 16, 17, and for Skylab 1.

The first three space programs that contributed to the US moon landing were Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. Mercury laid the groundwork for human spaceflight, Gemini focused on developing techniques for space travel, and Apollo successfully achieved the goal of landing astronauts on the moon.
