NASA

NASA was established in 1958 by the United States government in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite. Its creation was intended to advance the country's space exploration capabilities and has since played a key role in numerous significant space missions and discoveries.

A business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce model is likely used by companies that sell parts to NASA. This involves selling products or services directly to other businesses rather than individual consumers. It typically involves negotiated contracts, bulk orders, and specialized pricing.

There are launch facilities located at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

NASA stopped sending astronauts to the moon after the Apollo program ended in 1972 due to budget constraints and a shift in priorities towards space exploration missions in low Earth orbit and beyond, such as the Space Shuttle program and the International Space Station. Additionally, the scientific and technological objectives set by the Apollo program had been accomplished.

The space shuttle helped solve the challenge of cost-effective and reusable space transportation. It provided a way to transport crew and cargo to and from space, allowing for more frequent and affordable access to space compared to earlier single-use rocket designs.

Yes, the NASA temperature-sensitive material, also known as memory foam, was originally developed by NASA in the 1970s to improve seat cushioning and crash protection for astronauts during space missions.

Yes, NASA sent several monkeys to space as part of their research on the effects of space travel on living organisms. The most famous case is Ham the chimpanzee who flew on the Mercury-Redstone 2 mission in 1961.

Nasa spends several billions of dollars of tax payers money. But if NASA were allowed to patent the things it invents and passes on to the world, they could fund themselves. I have seen an estimate that for every dollar spent on NASA, seven dollars are generated by tech spinoff. I guess any job that entails risk to human life could be called a "negative", but there have to be pioneers and some of them die.

The exact amount of money spent on schools from the space program can vary depending on the specific programs and initiatives involved. Generally, NASA and other space agencies provide educational opportunities, resources, and grants for schools to engage students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This funding can support activities like competitions, workshops, internships, and curriculum development.

The space shuttle lands in either Edwards airforce base in California or Kennedy Space center in Florida (near coconut beach). The hub and control center for NASA is in Houston, TX. Hence the comment on Apollo 13 "Houston, we have a problem"

There isn't any students training program by NASA yet. However, I have attended a Space Camp supported by NASA when I was 14-year-old. It's very similar to a training camp. In fact we performed all the training activities that astronauts go through in real life. We did stuff like rocketry, shuttle missions, moon walking, G-force acceleration, Zero Gravity, underwater training etc. There were interactive sessions with NASA reps and veteran astronauts too. And all this happened at the US Space and Rocket Centra at Huntville. Since you asked about a training program - why don't you check out the details of this camp at http://spacecampindia.com/index.htm This will be a good opportunity to gain practical knowledge about space and astronomy.

As of 2021, NASA has around 17,000 employees, including astronauts, scientists, engineers, and administrative staff. This number may vary slightly based on missions and projects.

The cost of sending missions to space varies depending on the type of mission. Sending astronauts to the International Space Station can cost around $80 million per seat on a commercial spacecraft. Unmanned missions such as rovers to Mars can cost anywhere from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars. Overall, NASA's annual budget for all its operations, including space missions, is around $22-23 billion.

There have been a number of crashes in NASA history. The two most tragic ones were the losses of the Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia, because the crews of these spacecraft were killed.

No other NASA crashes have killed people in space. The Apollo 1 fire that killed astronauts Grissom, White and Chaffee occurred on the launch pad during a drill.

Other notable losses would include the losses of several Mars probes and the crash of the Stardust probe on Earth when its parachute didn't open properly during its landing.

I think you mean a reference source for the space view of volcanoes, THE source is the ASTER (acronym for Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) Volcano Archive (AVA) hosted by NASA's JPL.

There you find a link to the alphabetic listing of volcanoes, containing practically every volcano in the world, even officially unnamed ones, and another link to Google Maps where you can browse the globe (each volcano clearly marked). For each volcano you will find the entry of the Smithsonian volcano catalog and ASTER Very Near Infrared (VNIR) daytime satellite images (updated regularly containing old ones and very recent ones; a total of 40,000 photos).

Short answer: It's not. There's nothing in the enumerated powers given to Congress in Article 1, Section 8 to allow Congress to fund scientific agencies, unless in some way the agency would be necessary and proper for the exercise of an enumerated power. Not sure for what enumerated power NASA would be necessary and proper.

In Florida - About an hour East of Orlando, FL.

Well, NASA basically launches rockets and the space shuttles. (For their names read after 2.) They had the Apollo program, the Viking program, etc. NASA tests brave people to see if they have what is qualified to join, if so, that person can join NASA.

1. Apollo: obtusely went to Luna. Viking: Missions to mars. (launching rovers)

2. 1st: Colombia. 2. Challenger. 3.Discovery. 4. Atlantis. 5. Enterprise.

Colombia: This was the first shuttle of NASA's It disintegrated during reentry...

Challenger: NASA'S second shuttle. It blew up during flight, major malfunction!

Discovery: I believe it was the first to dock successfully with a satellite. Nice shuttle.

Atlantis: I don't know much about it, It flew successfully.

Enterprise: Citizens where curious about NASA's shuttles, so they made Enterprise, It never made a flight, until present day! And It never will.

On July 29, 1958, Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, establishing NASA. When it began operations on October 1, 1958, NASA absorbed the 46-year-old NACA intact; its 8,000 employees, an annual budget of US$100 million, three major research laboratories (Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, and Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory) and two small test facilities.

Alan Shepard was the first American from NASA to travel to space, when he piloted the Freedom 7 spacecraft on May 5, 1961.

NASA aims to conduct research and exploration in space, advance our understanding of Earth and the universe, develop new technologies for space travel, and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.

Yes, Neil Armstrong did attend classes while in middle school. He attended Blume High School in Wapakoneta, Ohio, and later went on to pursue his higher education in aeronautical engineering.

Sugar Land, Texas is approximately 40 miles away from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. This drive typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic conditions.

The NASA logo features a blue sphere representing a planet, stars to symbolize space, a red chevron to portray aeronautics, and a circular orbit to represent space travel. The insignia embodies NASA's mission to explore space and advance aeronautics research.

The NASA project that landed an American on the moon was the Apollo program. The Apollo 11 mission successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969.
