The Marshall Islands 1988 copper-nickel $5 featuring shuttle Discovery may be worth up to about $4 depending on amount of wear and collector demand. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info. Brad

Yes, the headquaters are in Washington DC.

NASA is constantly searching for new planets beyond our solar system through various missions like the TESS and Kepler telescopes. They have discovered thousands of exoplanets so far, but have not announced the discovery of a new planet in our solar system.

Orsino, Florida. You would find better information about it's location if you searched using Kennedy Space Center.

"The federal government spent roughly $14 billion (B) on NASA in fiscal year 1999."

NASA's headquarters is located in Washington, D.C., but they have multiple centers across the United States, including the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Johnson Space Center in Texas, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.

NASA started on October 1, 1958
Otober 1st, 1958
NASA was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 29, 1958. So it has been around for very nearly 52 years.
NASA was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 29, 1958, replacing its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The agency became operational on October 1, 1958.

Yes, NASA did fund Sony's research into developing miniaturized tape recorders for the Apollo space program. These tape recorders were crucial for recording data and communications during the missions. Sony's efforts in creating compact, reliable technology helped advance space exploration capabilities.

Following the Challenger incident, NASA implemented changes such as enhancing safety procedures, increasing oversight of contractors, redesigning the solid rocket boosters, improving communication among team members, and establishing an independent safety oversight organization to prevent similar disasters in the future.

One NASA space mission launch scheduled for January is the Artemis I mission, an uncrewed test flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft. The mission is part of NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually send astronauts to Mars.

NASA does not have a specific membership program for kids. However, they offer educational resources and opportunities for students of all ages through programs like the NASA Kids' Club and internship opportunities for older students. You can visit the NASA website for more information on how kids can get involved with their programs.

What was the name of the rocket used to travel to the moon?

The Apollo 1 fire was the first US space tragedy on January 27 1967, although it occurred on the ground with technicians within feet of the capsule on the launchpad.

During pre-launch day tests, fire broke out in the crew capsule, killing astronauts Gus Grossom, Ed White ( the nation's first spacewalker) and rookie Roger Chaffee.

The fire was caused by an electrical short circuit, and modifications were made to improve the safety of the wiring after the accident. (These improvements are thought to have been one of the factors that prevented Apollo 13 from later becoming the second US space disaster. The extra insulation prevented electrical problems when the command and lunar modules became saturated in low temperatures when the power systems were turned off.) The noxious gases generated killed the three astronauts well before rescuers could approach the capsule due to extreme heat and the rupture of the capsule.

The first loss during an actual mission was the Challenger space shuttle, on January 28th 1986. The shuttle was torn apart 73 seconds after launch due to the failure of a seal on the solid rocket booster to function properly in the low temperatures. This allowed hot gases and flames to leak out and burn through the external fuel tank.

The first space shuttle, known as the Space Shuttle Columbia, was designed by NASA in collaboration with various contractors including North American Rockwell and Boeing. Robert Crippen and John Young were the pilots of the first mission, STS-1, which launched on April 12, 1981.

As an agency of the US federal government, NASA itself has never left the Earth's

surface. But six pairs of astronauts landed on the moon between 1969 and 1972, on

missions that were part of the Apollo program, which was administered by NASA.

The space shuttle weighed approximately 165,000 pounds (74,800 kg) empty and 240,000 pounds (109,000 kg) when fully fueled for launch.

The main purpose of the Apollo mission was to land humans on the Moon and safely return them to Earth. Additionally, the mission aimed to conduct scientific research, gather lunar samples, and demonstrate American technological and scientific prowess during the space race with the Soviet Union.

Think of the Christopher Columbus and the first travelers that were willing to explore and find the new world. Think of the settlers who traveled and made settlements from east to west across the United States in search of new land, new opportunities and new experiences. It seems to be almost a natural instinct of man to explore the unknown. Another reason to explore space is the search for new resources. As the population of the Earth continues to grow, man looks for new opportunities and new resources in space that may aid or supplement life here on Earth.

Sally Ride became an astronaut in 1978 when she was selected by NASA as part of the astronaut class 8. She became the first American woman in space when she flew aboard the space shuttle Challenger on June 18, 1983.

As of now, it is impossible to determine if Wayne Peterson is the smartest person at NASA, as intelligence is subjective and cannot be measured definitively. NASA employs a diverse range of highly skilled and intelligent individuals across various fields, making it challenging to single out one person as the smartest.

There have been over 100 space flights since the Challenger tragedy in 1986, including missions to the International Space Station, commercial flights, and scientific research missions. These missions have marked significant advancements in space exploration and technology.
