GLONASS, and Galileo there are other GNSS currently in development, such as the China’s COMPASS constellation. This GNSS is being designed and implemented by China and currently has a growing user base in that region. COMPASS is currently in its in-orbit validation (IOV) phase, with plans to be operational in the Asia-Pacific region by

elliptical orbit at an altitude of 390 kilometers above the Earth’s surface with an inclination of 51.6 degrees. This was more out of convenience for the Russians because it was easy for their main launch complex to launch to and also to avoid launching over China. Due to the Mir’s low altitude, atmospheric drag constantly tried to pull the Mir back to Earth causing its orbit to need to be constantly adjusted. Because of this, the Mir would need help boosting to an optimal operating orbit. In the

The most recent activity includes the successful return of Soyuz capsule MS-03 from the ISS to earth on June 2nd with two crewmembers aboard. Additionally, two launches were accomplished in June, one placing the European EchoStar satellite 21 on orbit after over a year of delays, and the other sending various supplies and fuel to the ISS (Roscosmos 2017). The only explanation given for the delays was investigation of a glitch in the proton rocket it was set to launch on (Nowakowski 2016). The next

rocket except the third stage. The third stage uses a “mixture of kerosene and hydrogen peroxide” (Nasa Space Flight). These engines will provide “118 tons of thrust , giving it enough oomph to launch a 25-ton payload into low-earth orbit or 14 ton cargo to geostationary orbit” (Santos). The previous fuel was very expensive, harmful to the environment and to living organisms. If exposed it causes “irritation in the eyes, nose, and throat, dizziness, headache, nausea, pulmonary, edema, seizures, and coma

The movie “Gravity” starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney was about a medical engineer Dr.Ryan Stone(Sandra Bullock) on her first shuttle mission with her commander Matt Kowalsky(George Clooney) and it is his last flight to space before his retirement. During the journey, disaster strikes leaving Ryan and Matt stranded in space with absolutely no connection to Earth. There shuttle is destroyed and the other astronauts died, leaving Matt and Ryan the only two that survive. Until only one of them

Chandrayaan-1 (Sanskrit: चंद्रयान-१, lit: moon vehicle[3][4] [pic]pronunciation (help·info)) was India's first unmanned lunar probe. It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008, and operated until August 2009. The mission included a lunar orbiter and an impactor. India launched the spacecraft with a modified version of the PSLV, PSLV C11[2][5] on 22 October 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh, about 80 km north of Chennai

In this article, I am going to talk about two companies in the frontier of commercial space in Low Earth Orbit. On the one hand, there is one of the first pioneers in commercial space flight, Virgin Galactic. On the other hand, there is the current rock star SpaceX. Both founded by celebrities, Space X is not only being the delivery boy International Space Station by Dragon but also on the road to the red planet, putting humans on Mars by 2026 with Mars Colonial Transporter. Meanwhile, after the

WCP 10 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzyL5jx94mE Response: The video I watched for this assignment is titled “Here are The Facts - Proof Earth is Flat” by a youtube account known as “QuasiLuminous”. In this video Mr.Luminous states several “facts” proving the earth is flat. My favorite is that the curvature of the earth is 16 feet every 6 miles. I personally don’t know where he is getting this information. Maybe he is taking a page from Mr.Trump and Sean Spicer’s book. According to UniverseToday

Alejandro Delapena Atmospheric Sciences 100 May 11, 2016 Austin Harris Meteorology Essay Part one: Explain the difference between Climate, Weather and Meteorology. Despite the fact that weather, climate and meteorology are correlated; all three topics differ from each other. With this out of the way, meteorology is defined as the study of both the atmosphere’s climate and weather. The main difference in between climate and weather is that they are determined by time; meaning that weather is
