Marv Rocket Project

His main goal as of this moment is to get off Mars as soon as possible.

With this new program, NASA sent two spacecraft to the Red Planet, Pathfinder and the Mars Global Surveyor, both of which reached their destination the following year. (Snyder) Pathfinder returned a wealth of information, including weather data and soil analyses. The Mars Global Surveyor provided details on the planet’s seasons and notorious dust storms. In addition, Spirit and Opportunity, a pair of rovers launched several years later, have been exploring the Martian surface in great detail. Both have baffled scientists with their ability to continue functioning long after their original 90-day operational window. (National Geographic)

In the novel The Martian by Andy Weir, astronaut Mark Watney is in for a big surprise when he finds himself abandoned on Mars. NASA has many new advances in technology, in the novel though some of these new gadgets don’t stray far from reality.

“If the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before,” said Stephen Hawking in 2008. The interplanetary migration of our species has been a stimulating prospect for ages, and, as technology is advancing by the minute, we are only getting closer to its realization. For this prospect, Mars is the sole candidate. There are many reasons why this is so, and there are many reasons as to why we should undergo the colonization of Mars now.

In overcoming the challenges along the way of the mission from launching to impact to egress, it has allowed scientists and organisations such as NASA to gather more information about the nature of the Mars, from the climate to the geology of the planet. The outcome and findings of this mission has been a success and influential in the way we explore other planets to find the possibility of past and/or present life on that planet. The rovers had discovered fluid and other deposits on the surface of the planet, which may indicate that life can survive on this planet. The uncovering of these physical environments has shaped the method and processes undertaken on other missions in order to succeed and deliver the necessary answers to the questions of the possibility of life

Mars is the next step in human exploration, and its time we start looking beyond the horizon into deep space, next stop is Mars.

“To the moon, Alice” or in this case Mars. Gentry Lee, senior systems engineer at Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL) faced a very difficult decision whether to recommend launching or delay the launch of the Mars Biological Explorer (MBE). According to Lee’s biography at Caltech and the case study, “he is the chief engineer for the Planetary Flight Systems Directorate at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and had engineering oversight responsibility for the twin rover missions to Mars that landed in January 2004, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) in 2006, and the Deep Impact and Stardust missions. He was also the chief engineer for the Galileo project from 1977–1988 and director of science analysis and mission planning during

The current Five NASA missions at Mars would pave the way for human crews there in the 2030s and later, in NASA’s journey to Mars

I was interested in my topic because I wanted to just know, how space shuttles worked and other features about them. The questions i hoped to answer was how much fuel they use, how fast they are, and what most of them do. I was hoping to learn in this project was how much fuel they use, how fast they are, and what most of them do. I found most of the answers to my questions and other facts by looking at google and the internet.

The rocket was the first locomotive that it was the world’s first steam locomotive constructed with many components. The locomotive was constructed in 1829 by the top manufacturers located in England. George and Robert had a father and son business. Steam locomotives were nothing new even by the 1830’s. The English were the first one’s to begin building and developing in the railroad system. Locomotives were built with a single pipe within the boiler to transfer heat between the exhaust. Most of the early steamers featured vertically mounted pistons. The only cause for the locomotive is to be unstable when in operations. The credits for the Stephenson’s rocket has been charged to his father. The reason behind the locomotive is because the

The first human being walked on the moon in 1969. This momentous achievement refueled humankind’s drive to explore. The next achievable planetary body, in this sense, is Mars. Due to its similarity in composition to Earth - far more so than the gaseous planets - and its comparatively short distance, Mars is the logical next step in human space exploration. Mankind should look to colonizing Mars to further its body of knowledge; promote the growth and development of science and technology here on Earth, using this development to vastly improve the lives of all; and preserve its spot in the universe. Our capability to do this is advanced, yet insufficient, and colonies in Mars are not safely possible anytime soon. The technologies for the

NASA has already begun with Earth Reliant and Proving Ground which benefits them. The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has arrived in the Mars orbit on September 21 2014. MAVEN was launched on November 18 2013 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It carried 3 instruments with it, Particles and Fields Package, Remote Sensing Package, and Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer. These instruments will be used to study the solar wind, ionosphere, upper atmosphere, and the formation of atomic particles in Mars. And now it will begin to research about how climate changed, how did the changes impact of Mars evolution of surface and increased possibility of

The question of how long it will take a spacecraft to reach Mars depends on where we are because both planets are constantly orbiting the Sun. According to Space.Com, on average, it would take around 162 days to reach Mars [3] Because the Mars and Earth is so far away, we can expect that there are many differences among the two planets.

There is one more day until they are sent to Mars. It will be a long,
