NASA

NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin has stated that we must accomplish at least four objectives before we are prepared for a Mars mission. We must successfully build and operate the planned International Space Station, gain working-level experience with other nations in space cooperation, develop an affordable mission scenario that can be accomplished in about one decade, and allow time for the world economy to improve substantially. With these goals in mind, NASA currently plans to operate the Space Station for at least the first decade of the next century, sending astronauts back to the Moon or on to Mars during the second decade of the new century. This time frame could change with technological breakthroughs.

The three types of aerosols measured by NASA researchers are sea salt aerosols, dust aerosols, and black carbon aerosols. Sea salt aerosols are produced by the breaking of ocean waves, dust aerosols result from dust storms and other sources of dust in the atmosphere, and black carbon aerosols come from the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass burning.

After retiring from NASA, Neil Armstrong served as a professor at the University of Cincinnati in the Department of Aerospace Engineering. He also served on corporate boards and remained active in promoting space exploration and education until his passing in 2012.

Astronauts communicate with their controllers on the earth the same way airline pilots do ... by radio.

Since astronauts may be over any part of the earth at any given time, a network of ground stations is organized around the world, to communicate with the spacecraft and relay the communications to/from the Johnson Space Center near Houston TX.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bi-directional communications between astronauts and ground receiving stations is accomplished using communication radios that transmit and receive high-frequency radio waves; however, real time bi-directional communications becomes increasingly impractical and eventually impossible as the distance between the astronauts and the ground receiving stations increases. Let's look at a voyage to Mars as an example. High-frequency radio waves travel at the speed of light (approx. 299,792 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec) and as such, a message can take anywhere from 3 to 22 minutes to travel between Mars and Earth (and the same length of time for a response to get back), making normal (real time) conversations with ground crew or family members impossible. That having been said, astronauts will still be able to communicate back home and eventually receive a reply within 6 to 44 minutes depending on their distance from mother earth. It's analogous to communicating with someone via regular e-mail as opposed to a Live Messenger.

As of 2021, NASA has several operational satellites in space, including those dedicated to Earth observation, communications, and space exploration. The exact number can vary as some satellites are retired or decommissioned.

NASA was formed in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, in 1957. The United States wanted to establish its presence in space exploration and ensure its technological superiority during the Cold War. NASA was created to coordinate and conduct civilian space activities, research aeronautics, and contribute to the peaceful exploration of space.

NASA was established as an organization on July 29, 1958.

The radio signals travel at the speed of light, approximately 300,000 km/sec (186,000 mi/sec). The distance would be 1.28 x 300,000 or about 384,000 kilometers. *The actual time is an estimate, and the Moon varies in its distance from the Earth from 363,104 km to 405,696 km, so this compares well with the mean distance of 384,400 km.

Some of the well-known NASA space shuttles include Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, and Endeavour. NASA also operates other spacecraft such as the Mars rovers (e.g. Curiosity, Perseverance) and the Hubble Space Telescope.

Your mother farted on the trios 1 in 1960..........Later on that shuttle someone lit a match and the weather sattelite reperted high tempertures, explosions, and high levels of methan.....we later discovered that she actually sharted.

Pioneer 9 and Pioneer 10 were both spacecraft launched by NASA in the early 1970s as part of the Pioneer program. They were designed to study the outer solar system, particularly Jupiter and its environment, and to provide valuable data back to Earth. Pioneer 10 also became the first spacecraft to venture beyond the orbit of Mars and to fly by Jupiter.

No, and no one else has, either. The Mayan's "Millennium" will be just as big a wet firecracker as our own Y2K. This is just another media hoax to sell books and papers and such, just like the Great Planetary Alignment that was supposed to destroy the Earth with earthquakes, some years back. Some "Chicken Littles" never learn, and are an excellent source of free money to a certain sort of person.

no not yet that's in 2012

Yes, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is an independent agency of the United States federal government. It was established in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and operates within the executive branch of the government.

for crossword the answer is Extra Vehicular Activity.

Yes, in 1969, Apollo 11, with Neil Armstrong, was the first NASA mission to successfully land humans on the moon. Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon, followed by Buzz Aldrin. This event was a significant milestone in space exploration history.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill creating NASA on July 29, 1958.

Nazis

imporved answer:

Have a bit more respect for the man. His name is Wernher von Braun.

Wikipedia him, he is quite interesting. You could say, if it wasn't for him, so called Nazi..the technology we use today would not be possible without his ideas and passion..

NASA, (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is the space program of the United States of America.

Some of the spacecrafts that NASA has sent into space include the Voyager probes, the Mars rovers (such as Curiosity and Perseverance), the Hubble Space Telescope, the Cassini spacecraft that studied Saturn, and the New Horizons probe that explored Pluto.

Yes, many of them are. In fact, both of the Voyager probes are still transmitting data, even from beyond Neptune and past the "heliopause", the boundary between the solar system and interstallar space.

Sally Ride worked with NASA for 8 years, from 1978 to 1987. She became the first American woman in space in 1983 aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger.

No Mercury 1 was not the first NASA mission, though the the Mercury project was NASA's first project, the first mission in the Mercury project and therefore the first NASA mission was Mercury-Big Joe launched on September 9, 1959.

NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is located in Houston, Texas. It serves as the lead center for the International Space Station program and houses mission control for all of NASA's human spaceflight missions.
