My sci–fi paper will be something along the lines of "A day in the life of a space garbageman" set a
few decades in the future when an orbital spaceship has been developed that can track down and
remove space debris from orbit. The article will explain in detail the technologies that will make
such a spaceship possible such as electric or tether propulsion, life support, and garbage collecting
means. It will also explain the various hazards of prolonged stays in orbit such as space weather and
effect of microgravity on a human.
Space Debris
Space debris is any particle, whether natural or man–made, floating around in space[1]. This paper
will focus on man–made space debris in orbit around earth. First, will define ... Show more content

Orbital debris come from a variety of human activity in orbital space. One major source of orbital
debris comes from launched rockets and man–made satellites[1]. When a rocket is launched, the
upper stage booster that gives a spacecraft its final boost into orbit is often left in orbit[2]. These
boosters may stay in orbit for decades and if there is still fuel remaining inside them they may
explode and create a cloud of debris[2]. One example was when a Chinese Long March 4 exploded
on March 11, 2000 [3]. The payloads of the rocket often contribute greatly to the amount of orbital
debris as well. In 2009, two satellites smashed into each other and created a cloud of debris with
over a 1,000 pieces longer than 10 centimeters [4]. While collisions between debris do not add to the
total mass of debris in orbit, they do add to the number of smaller pieces and increase the chances of
further collisions in the future[4]. There were even cases where debris was created from intentional
destruction of satellites in order to test anti–satellite weapons[5]. The amount of debris is increasing
with human activity in space.
The growing number of orbital debris inconveniences and even endangers future space missions.
Low mass particles often impact the solar panels of spacecraft in orbit[6]. This creates a

Analysis Of Nasa's Optical Communication Technology
U.S. Navy
Using CubeSat architecture, the U.S. Navy has initiated the HALO–Net (high–band Anti–jam LPI
[Low Probability of Intercept]/LPD [Low Probability of Detection] Optical Network) project to
develop an optical communication network. It is known that shock test took place in 2016. (Space
and Naval Warfare Systems Command, n.d.). Additional information regarding the project has not
been located.
Future Activity
NASA has created a roadmap to outline the Agency's Optical Communications Program's objectives
for 2017 and Beyond (Cornwell, 2017). This research paper assumes that NASA's optical
communications technology initiatives are a bellwether for the other government agencies and

The work at the Aerospace Corporation has been completed internally, and the manufacturing
sources for HALO–Net are unknown. By comparing costs for the Aerospace project versus HALO–
Net, it may be possible to create a scaling factor for FFRDCs and military builds.
Costs from NASA's LCRD have been captured, and it is assumed that launch will occur in 2018.
Collecting costs from multiple projects and agencies would be beneficial, since another trend is the
utilization of COTS–Plus parts to produce these systems, and LCRD has a strong heritage pertaining
to this type of acquisition strategy.
Conclusion
The aerospace industry is changing; big is out; small is favored. Small satellites, Nanosats, and
CubeSats are proliferating universities, FFRDCs, government agencies, and commercial entities.
This trend is flowing into organization charts, as well. New, agile organizational structures and
partnering arrangements are perpetuating the metamorphosis. Small companies, incubators, venture
capitalists funded businesses are designing, building, and incorporating smaller satellites, into their
business plans. Distributed networks of small satellites require precise, pointing, acquisition, and
tracking parameters to enable intersatellite laser links. Vast amounts of information are awaiting

Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) Communication Networks
Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) Communication Networks
Introduction Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) communication networks are a form of satellite
communication where business and industry can transmit data, voice and video around the world
through a satellite link. Companies such as Walmart use VSATs to process data to and from their
stores nationwide (Lawton, 1994). Understanding the basics of what constitutes a VSAT network

TDMA uses timing to allow multiple signals within a specified amount of time. This would be like a
large group taking turns talking at different time intervals. CDMA uses codes to allow multiple
signals with specific individual codes. This would be like a group of individuals speaking in
different languages. FDMA uses different frequencies within the signal. This would be like a group
of individual speaking at different tones or levels. Using different code, time, frequency and other
access schemes allows a large number of signals to be transmitted, identified and differentiated
simultaneously.
There are two basic types of VSAT networks: Mesh topology networks and star topology networks.
A mesh topology network is a point–to–point network consisting of multiple locations and antennas
as described above. A star topology network is usually a larger network where multiple equipment
sets (antennas and modems) are placed in various locations. These geographically dispersed
equipment sets are also referred to as nodes. Each node transmits its signal through a satellite to a
larger modem and antenna called a "hub". A hub modem is a more complex unit compared to those
of an individual node and the hub antenna is slightly larger with more power capability (usually 4–
11 meters in diameter). In star topologies, each node communicates to the satellite and the satellite
communicates to the hub. The hub acts as a

Johannes Kepler 's A Perfect World
Johannes Kepler was a modern individual and he believed that God would have created a perfect
world and in that world everything was geometrically perfect. In Banville's book about Kepler it
says, "The search for knowledge everywhere encounters geometrical relations in nature, which God,
in creating the world, laid out (Banville 1981, p.145)." As he pursued the answer to planetary
motion, he assumed that the planets orbited the sun in a perfect circle. He tried to seek order in his
chaotic life through science and rational thought. While pursuing his research on planetary orbit, he
struggled to keep his three worlds; rational, emotional, and social; in order. Kendura says that a
novel provides knowledge of life as lived by individuals (Kendura 1988). Kepler's life definitely
represents the hassles a normal person's life is like. In his rational world he could logically come up
with a reason for different phenomenas. He spends his life researching planetary orbit and
astronomical tables. Dealing with his rational world is somewhat easier than dealing with his
emotional and social worlds because the rational world is based on research, facts, and evidence.
For Toulmin planetary orbit is just a physical law of nature, which according to the Cartesian
Dichotomy would fall under the body and not the mind. Kepler also follows the dichotomy in many
ways, so he would probably agree with Toulmin.
His emotional life is probably the messiest of his three worlds. In his emotional

The Space Race Essay
The years after World War II was a time of great scientific and technological advancements. With
these advancements came great tension and rivalry between the United States and the former Union
of Soviet Socialists Republic (USSR). The biggest rivalry between the two superpowers was the
advancement in space technology. In 1952, the International Geophysical Year (IGY) was
established in which scientists stated that in the time between July 1, 1957 and December 31, 1958,
solar activity would be at a high point. The IGY made it so that both the US and the USSR became
determined to be the first to reach space, and so the space race was born. During the space race, the
USSR made many launches that were very advanced and superior to the US. ... Show more content

This launch was extraordinary because it put the first living mammal into space. "This satellite was
much heavier than Sputnik 1, having two cabins, one for the equipment and controls and another for
Laika, the dog. Laika's cabin provided her with oxygen, food, water and allowed the dog enough
room to lie down and stand"(Siddiqi). It was predicted that Laika would live for ten days, but due to
thermal problems inside the satellite she only survived for about two. At the time of Sputnik 2, there
was no mention of the US even trying to send any living organism into space because they were still
having trouble with regular satellite launches. This launch not only further emphasized the Soviet
Union's superiority to the United States, but it also provided scientists with the first data of a living
organism in space and foreshadowed the future in human space travel. By the anniversary of
Sputnik 1, it seemed like the United States were catching up to the Soviet Union in terms of
satellites launched. The US had now launched three Explorers and one Vanguard while the USSR
had launched three Sputniks. Although the US had launched more satellite than the USSR, Sputnik

Binary Data Analysis
Satellite sensors send bits of binary data to ground stations on Earth for processing into useful
meteorological and environmental information enabling enhanced decision making capabilities.
Thereby, preventing injuries and fatalities, preserving assets, and reducing time delays. Binary data
are comprised of zeroes and ones. One bit contains either a "0" or a "1". A single bit, in and of itself,
does not have a lot of value until it is used. The same is true of information. Information does not
have value until it is utilized.
Prior attempts to value information have used deterministic methods. However, these methods have

This framework can be used to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of various types of data
sources in relation to other types of data sources. For instance, how does data from buoys
contributes to forecast accuracy versus data ingested from microwave, satellite sensors versus
measurements obtained from radio occultation sensors versus observations from sondes, etc. The
framework can be applied at the macro or micro–level. Although macro–level uses should be
considered a rough order of magnitude. It is important when doing comparisons that the data is
normalized at the lowest level possible (ideally bits) is used. Consistent, standardized data is
required for this type of analysis.
Dollarizing the results is optional. Pegging the results to a currency will provide a benchmark for
accessing the value of meteorological and environmental information enabling better valuation
assessments from source to source and program to program. The pegging can be altered as better
insights are gained from actual results. In this case, the data were pegged to a less volatile digital
currency. The currency is less stable than the dollar (currently), but then information downlinked
from satellites is less stable than the words printed in a book. The selected digital currency has been

NASA created Project Mercury which was a small space capsule and rocket. Only astronauts less
than 5' 11" could ride in these capsules and it was still a tight fit. Astronauts said that the "Mercury
capsule was not something you climbed into– it was something you put on," that is how small they
were." The Mercury rockets were not very safe, only having 40 percent of the launched rockets get
into orbit but they later improved. These rockets improved enough to send a chimpanzee named
Ham into orbit. More improvements came along and Project Mercury later had Alan B. Shepard
make, "a short suborbital flight in a Mercury capsule and became the first American astronaut to

On the flip side, the satellite internet provided in airlines is still slower than what the wired

initial speed of 3 Mb which worked for that time. However, with the current technology of smart
phones and tablets, the demand for greater speeds is needed in order for passengers to be able to use
these devices efficiently. Today, speeds for geostationary satellite internet on airlines are around 12
Mbps, which is better than before but, still not as quick as wired internet. The price of the
geostationary satellite internet is still increasing but this is mainly due to the hardware associated

and copper cable. The main point for our research is which would companies choose. During our
research there was many obstacles because it was hard to say why companies would choose fiber
optics or copper cable because it varies from company to company. The start of our research had to

The Electric Telegraph Invented By Samuel Morse
One of the earliest inventions of communication was the electric telegraph invented by Samuel
Morse. This device used electrical signals to transmit messages. The telegraph played a significant
role in transmitting messages over long spaces. Its usage was in Law enforcement, army and
newspapers. Even so, anyone could post messages using a telegram via a service. Today, there are
roughly three principal methods of measuring the velocity of data contagion. Baud rate (signaling
events per minute), BPS (bits per Sec) and CPS (characters per minute). The fact is, today the baud
rate has been substituted with a more precise unit of measurement.
Telephones are most mutual and are ground in almost every home and organizations. Telephones
worked by using a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). This is where copper wires carry
an analogue voice signal. Analogue means a device or organization in which the value of a data
point represented by a continuously varying physical quantity which can be quantified. An example
is a watch that shows time with hands on a dial rather than numbers on an LCD screen. In an
analogue telephone system, the audio signal is converted into electronic pulses. This creates
vibrations in the handset's speaker that can be picked up by the person listening.

The Physics Of Satellites Orbiting Earth
Satellites orbiting earth will experience external perturbations that can affect the orbit. The primary
force acting on the satellite depends on the altitude of the orbit. The most significant effect is caused
by atmospheric drag which affects satellites in low earth orbit. Outside of low earth orbit, satellites
still experience external forces that could change the orbit however unlike atmospheric drag, the
orbit altitude will not necessarily decrease. In addition to atmospheric drag, satellites are subject to
thermal drag and gravity perturbations.
Atmospheric Drag: (Author: Emma)
Atmospheric drag effects all spacecraft orbiting earth below 2,000 km, producing both short
periodic and slow perturbations. It is the is the largest source of error in modeling the force on many
satellites because it is difficult to predict [2]. Atmospheric drag is caused by the collisions of gas
molecules with the spacecraft. Over time, the collisions start to decay the orbit. Demonstrating a
positive feedback effect, where drag decreases the orbital altitude where the density is greater which
produces more drag which then decays quicker. Factors that influence drag are the atmospheric drag
surrounding the spacecraft, as well as the spacecrafts drag coefficient, area, mass and velocity [1].
The atmospheric density is not constant and changes with solar activity. The solar magnetic activity
cycle is the periodic change in the sun 's activity that lasts around 11 years. During solar maximum,

Analysis Of The Film Gravity
I want to start by recognizing that in my earlier film papers I have made the mistake of summarizing
all of the science in each of the films from start to finish. By doing so my paper essentially became a
summary of the film rather than an explanation of the science found within it. To avoid repeating
these mistakes I would like to focus on a few scientific concepts that I found interesting in this film,
Gravity. The first, and likely most obvious is the concept of surviving in space. Second, the concept
of floating freely in space. Third, the concept of decomposition in the zero–gravity atmosphere of
space. And fourth, the part of the movie where lieutenant Kowalski propels himself with a fire
extinguisher. I believe that Isaac Newton's three laws can help me to explain these concepts. Gravity

theoretically hardly survivable and unlivable conditions. The main dilemma, and theme of the entire

board. Russia launched a missile into space to destroy one of their satellites. This turned into a

organizations were subsequently pulled into NASA upon its creation. [3] The main focus became
developing technology that was steady enough and strong enough to support human life in space.
The act of simply launching a rocket into space had been achieved over ten years before when Nazi
Germany launched its first successful V–2 rocket in October 1942. The V–2 (Vengeance Weapon 2)
rocket was built to shoot warheads at targets from a long range. [4]
With the disastrous ability of the V–2 in mind, when Sputnik was launched, the fear of ICBMs
(Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles) became a very prevalent part of American society. Families built
bomb shelters in their backyards and stocked them with non–perishable goods to help them sustain
life if they were ever attacked. Students and employees practiced air raid drills by crawling under
desks and tables. An imminent fear of attack hung heavily in the air causing such historical events as
the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The entire era of the Cold War was spurred by a fear
of the technology that the opposing country (either Russia or America) possessed; thus, the obvious
effect of technology on the society of the times.
The Cold War Era was not an era that revolved entirely around fear

Their size can range from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers. Meteoroids, on the other hand,
are very small. They are tiny fragments of rocks and dusts (Coffey 2009). The artificial part of space
debris is made of fragments and pieces of man–made items. There are many kinds of debris orbiting
the Earth, for example, rocket parts that are detached after certain stages of launching, broken or
dysfunctional satellites, and even fragments or small parts from other machinery that was launched
into space. All of these man–made fragments orbit the Earth, so they are often called orbital debris
(NASA 2012).
Orbital debris is a very dangerous thing. Not only is it creating many problems for scientist, it is also
growing every day. A series of photos on a document published by NASA (2009), called The Threat
of Orbital Debris and Protecting NASA Space Assets from Satellite Collisions, shows the growth of
orbital debris from 1960 to 2009. These images show just how much debris the Cold Wars has
generated. Because of this war, the interest in space and space exploration was spread throughout
humanity. This spike of interest caused many satellites and rockets to be launched into space and
abandoned after they are out of service (Glassman 2009). One of the major contributors to orbital
debris is China. In 2007, the Chinese decided to test–launch an anti–satellite missile to destroy a

There are other types of DSL such as Very high bit, symmetric, and rate– adaptive DSL. The very
high bit–rate is used for short distances, but is very fast. The symmetric DSL does not let you use
the Internet and the phone at the same time. So for home users, symmetric is not the best choice for
DSL. The rate–adaptive DSL is similar to asymmetric DSL, but can adjust the speed depending on
the length of the phone line. There are many different types of DSL that homes users can chose
from, but the best choice for home users is clearly asymmetric.
Cable
As the name Cable might suggest this connection uses a television cable to connect to the Internet.
As with asymmetric DSL, the Cable Internet connection shares the coaxial line with the television
signal. Cable TV works by giving each TV station a 6– megahertz piece of the radio spectrum. "The
Radio signals travel through the air at a speed very close to the speed of light. In a coaxial cable like
the one that brings CATV signals to your house, radio signals travel at about two–thirds the speed of
light" (www.howstuffworks.com). Cable Television offers 91 channels that take up 550 MHZ of the
bandwidth (radio spectrum). Many cable companies today are using fiber optic cables to provide
cable TV because it can serve 500 householders with just ONE optic fiber. Now that we know how

– Inclined orbit: An inclined satellite passes over a different part of the planet each orbit.
– Polar orbit: A polar orbit passes over the north and south poles each orbit crossing various places
in the equator each orbit.
– Elliptical orbit: An elliptical orbit has no specific speed or distance, it depends on the apogee
(furthest distance away) and perigee (closest to the surface).
The first artificial satellite was Sputnik 1, and satellites have continued to be launched since 1957.
Sputnik 1 was a small aluminium ball with four antennas attached, although modern ETI's have
more complex bodies they are still designed following the same basic structure. With
experimentation, these bodies have been designed to be as strong and light as possible with the same
essential uses. There is a platform named a bus inside satellites which has; antennas, solar arrays
and payload instruments attached. It also contains batteries, computers and thrusters. Satellites have
large panels attached as they have to charge themselves, these arrays can be tilted to allow for the

Government Funded Versus Privately Funded Human Life
Introduction to Government Funded Versus Privately Funded Human Spaceflight
Getting into space isn 't easy. It required the world 's largest superpowers and billions of dollars of
research and development to create the first rockets capable of carrying human beings into space.
Approximately 60 years later, we find ourselves still struggling to reach LEO (low–Earth Orbit)
without breaking the bank. With the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2011, the United States has
lost its only dedicated vehicle capable sending astronauts and payloads into orbit. Relying on the
Russian Soyuz vehicle for our missions, the price of sending people into space has continued to be
astronomical. America needs a new line of cheaper rockets to fit the demand of future missions, and
what role the government should play in this expensive development process is a complicated
debate which affects many people. We 're paying too much to go to space. NASA typically contracts
out launch vehicles from private companies for their launch needs, and historically they have almost
always gone to the United Launch Alliance (a joint venture between Lockheed and Boeing). Up
until recently, they have been one of the only organizations capable of sending cargo to both low–
Earth orbit and geosynchronous orbit (an orbit which matches the trajectory of the craft with the
rotation of the Earth). As a result, a monopoly has been created, and the price of sending anything
into space costs a ridiculous amount of money.

Deadly Debris Humans tend to think of space as infinite, that is true as far as we can tell, however
the space around Earth is not infinite. After the Space race began in the late 1950's countries began
sending satellites into space for various purposes. Today these Satellites are very important to
everyday life, but there is a looming problem that has often been overlooked. Low Earth orbit,
where most satellites and spacecraft are located is filled with the remains of many old and decaying
satellites. Space debris is very dangerous for any human or structure in space and could eventually
make low Earth orbit too hazardous to ever use again. The Sci–Fi paper I am currently working on
is a story about a group of astronauts in the near future who are returning from mining an asteroid.
In this story it is much like the moon landings in that people were very intrigued at first but have
lost interest now. These are just routine missions that hardly anyone knows or cares about. This all
changes however when two satellites in high orbit on Earth collide, one being a communication
satellite with the astronauts. The unaware astronauts, now returning to Earth, have no idea what is

The Space Of Space Exploration
Space exploration has opened up so many new aspects to what is really out there and we have
accomplished many things in terms of discovery and proof. There are issues involved with space
exploration, though, such as space debris, astronaut safety, and the theory of space exploration really
being a mission to find an alternative livable space if Earth ever becomes uninhabitable.
Understanding the real reasons why we are going to such great lengths to find life in space could
change the outlook on our future. For a long time, our endeavors in space exploration were based
purely in the name of science. When we made our first accomplishments, we made history. One of
our most historical accomplishments was NASA's mission to the moon. Buzz Aldrin was a lunar
module pilot on the spaceflight Apollo 11 in 1969. He went alongside Neil Armstrong as the second

Earth from that perspective, everything I knew and loved lay suspended overhead, residing on a
small, fragile, bright blue sphere engulfed by the blackness of space" (p.24). This sight that he
explained not only changed his perspective, but brought unspeakable awe to humanity's front door
and changed our entire view of Earth. From that moment when these men landed on the moon, and
we saw our home from that distance, history was made. The successful outcome of this mission

Future Human Space Exploration And Operations
Asteroids will provide the means to transform future human space exploration and operations in to
large scale activities. They will first provide a rich source of minerals and material for initial
economic expansion and concurrently providing platforms for operations and manufacturing.
Eventually, asteroids could be used as space vehicles to move humans across and possibly beyond
the solar system effectively becoming mobile bases of operations and even space colonies. The only
significant limitations for this future growth are technological capability and legal ambiguity for
large scale human space activity. For any space activity to overcome its limitations and get off the
ground, the activity must generate a great deal of interest.
Asteroids have long been of high interest to the scientific community to help answer many early
solar system mysteries. However, industrialists such as Deep Space Industries have taken an interest
in these objects as well1. They are already creating companies to attempt mining some of these
objects. Upon close inspection the composition of asteroids relative to Earth something amazing
appears. Asteroids contain as much or orders of magnitude more than the Earth critical materials
needed to create a thriving economy2. This explains the interest in space industrialists particularly

It is the most cost effective strategy for "cash–strapped" businesses with no special emphasis on
security. Sometimes the cheapest design doesn't always translate into the easiest design. In this case,
the translation is a success. The hub will serve as the intermediary between the computers and the
internet (via cable modem). Also, in this case, easy design also translate into easy troubleshooting of
any network problem. The star network allows troubleshooters to isolate issues on the network
instead of taking the entire local network offline. Moreover, the star network implies direct data
flow from the computers (via hub) to the internet instead of the data flowing through the nodes first.
Hence, speed is a benefit of such a network. In addition, because of the direct data flow
methodology (nodes–to–hub–to–modem–to–internet–and–vice–versa), the data is safe. Finally, the
star network allows for expansion of nodes, hubs, and gateways without losing any of the networks
advantages listed on this page. The owner plans to eventually add 7 more computers to the network.
My recommendation is to purchase an additional hub to manage the 7 additional computers. Also,

$20 million to the Russian space program for a seat to the ISS and back. This signaled to the world
that commercial spaceflight was a viable business, and there are people out there that are willing to

The Growing Threat: Space Debris Elimination through Robotics
An over statement of the importance of the use of the Earth's orbital space is not possible. It is very
apparent that we as the human race, while broken up into many different countries, have grown
accustom to the comforts, knowledge, and safety provided by the technology we launch into space.
Examples of the benefits are cellphones, GPS for direction, environmental studies, weather
forecasting, defense, and much more. However, with every placement of advanced technology into
orbit the continuation of the ability to launch additional assets are at risk. The thousands of articles
left behind following the launch of spacecraft or vehicles generate that risk. Over the past fifty plus
years, the risk has increased exponentially. Donald Kessler, a NASA astrophysicist, shared his
perception of such risk in 1978 (LaVone, 2014). Mr. Kessler theorized a self–sufficient event
capable of eradicating viable assets within the condensed orbital space encompassing Earth. Mr.
Kessler noted that the collision of defunct satellites or other objects left behind in space are capable
of ensuing a chain reaction of epic magnitude. The focus of Kessler's theory projected beyond the
larger size debris but "emphasized the imminent danger of small debris in orbit" (LaVone, 2014). At
the time only theory, but now more than likely possible. The preservation and continuation of space
exploration have compelled other agencies,

On the receiving end, the demodulator works by detecting one or both of the frequencies, often with
a band–pass filter, regenerating the input signal. You can also use a signal processor to convert the
carrier from time domain to frequency domain with a fourier transform, and then pick off the signal
that way.) The FSK method of modulating/demodulation is typically limited to low frequency signal
rates, such as 300 bits per second
1.2.2: FSK DEMODULATION:
FSK demodulation is the process of recovering the original signal by detecting the frequencies
involved in the original modulation. Typically, this is done with a bandpass amplifier tuned to one of
the two frequencies, followed by a amplitude demodulator. The output is the original signal. It is
possible, though often unecessary, to use two bandpass ampliers, one for each frequency, but this is
redundant. It is also possible to use a digital signal processing technique to perform a fourier
transform on the input signal, but that can be complex and costly.
This is the method used in very early modems, up to around 1200 baud.
It is also possible, using FSK, to send multiple signals across one line. Simply pick suitable
frequencies for each modulation state, and mix the outputs into one consolidated analog signal. On
the other end, you have multiple bandpass filters running at the same time and, as long as the chosen
frequencies are

Economic Impact Of The Space Race
Economic Impacts of the Space Race By: Kimia
The space race was a competition between the United States and the Soviet Union that occurred
during the Cold War. They competed for dominance in space technology and spaceflight, which
spurred many significant inventions and events. Some of these inventions and events include the
first–ever landing on the moon, the first artificial satellite to be launched into the Earth's orbit, the
establishment of NASA, the invention of the microprocessor computer, the invention of satellite
communication technology, and other direct and indirect impacts. Each of the different events and
inventions that spawned from the space race have had significant impacts on the United States
economy.
After the end of World War II on September 2, 1945, a new era called the Cold War began. The Cold
War was a non–violent state of political and military tension between the democratic and capitalist
United States and the communist Soviet Union: two of the biggest powers of the world at the time.
However, they were drastically different in both economy and politics, allowing rivalry to build up.
They both wanted to become the most powerful nation of the world, and both feared that the other
nation would rise up to become the most powerful nation of the world.
Throughout the Cold War, the US and the Soviet Union, the USSR, tried to outspend and outdo each
other. They looked for any advantage they could get to achieve more attainments than the

My Sci Fi Of The Earth Of A Space Hao–Lin Yang 0834238 My sci–fi paper will be something along the lines of "A day in the life of a space garbageman" set a few decades in the future when an orbital spaceship has been developed that can track down and remove space debris from orbit. The article will explain in detail the technologies that will make such a spaceship possible such as electric or tether propulsion, life support, and garbage collecting means. It will also explain the various hazards of prolonged stays in orbit such as space weather and effect of microgravity on a human. Space Debris Space debris is any particle, whether natural or man–made, floating around in space[1]. This paper will focus on man–made space debris in orbit around earth. First, will define ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Orbital debris come from a variety of human activity in orbital space. One major source of orbital debris comes from launched rockets and man–made satellites[1]. When a rocket is launched, the upper stage booster that gives a spacecraft its final boost into orbit is often left in orbit[2]. These boosters may stay in orbit for decades and if there is still fuel remaining inside them they may explode and create a cloud of debris[2]. One example was when a Chinese Long March 4 exploded on March 11, 2000 [3]. The payloads of the rocket often contribute greatly to the amount of orbital debris as well. In 2009, two satellites smashed into each other and created a cloud of debris with over a 1,000 pieces longer than 10 centimeters [4]. While collisions between debris do not add to the total mass of debris in orbit, they do add to the number of smaller pieces and increase the chances of further collisions in the future[4]. There were even cases where debris was created from intentional destruction of satellites in order to test anti–satellite weapons[5]. The amount of debris is increasing with human activity in space. The growing number of orbital debris inconveniences and even endangers future space missions. Low mass particles often impact the solar panels of spacecraft in orbit[6]. This creates a ...

  • 2. Analysis Of Nasa's Optical Communication Technology U.S. Navy Using CubeSat architecture, the U.S. Navy has initiated the HALO–Net (high–band Anti–jam LPI [Low Probability of Intercept]/LPD [Low Probability of Detection] Optical Network) project to develop an optical communication network. It is known that shock test took place in 2016. (Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, n.d.). Additional information regarding the project has not been located. Future Activity NASA has created a roadmap to outline the Agency's Optical Communications Program's objectives for 2017 and Beyond (Cornwell, 2017). This research paper assumes that NASA's optical communications technology initiatives are a bellwether for the other government agencies and commercial entities. The list includes the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The work at the Aerospace Corporation has been completed internally, and the manufacturing sources for HALO–Net are unknown. By comparing costs for the Aerospace project versus HALO– Net, it may be possible to create a scaling factor for FFRDCs and military builds. Costs from NASA's LCRD have been captured, and it is assumed that launch will occur in 2018. Collecting costs from multiple projects and agencies would be beneficial, since another trend is the utilization of COTS–Plus parts to produce these systems, and LCRD has a strong heritage pertaining to this type of acquisition strategy. Conclusion The aerospace industry is changing; big is out; small is favored. Small satellites, Nanosats, and CubeSats are proliferating universities, FFRDCs, government agencies, and commercial entities. This trend is flowing into organization charts, as well. New, agile organizational structures and partnering arrangements are perpetuating the metamorphosis. Small companies, incubators, venture capitalists funded businesses are designing, building, and incorporating smaller satellites, into their business plans. Distributed networks of small satellites require precise, pointing, acquisition, and tracking parameters to enable intersatellite laser links.

Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) Communication Networks Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) Communication Networks Introduction Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) communication networks are a form of satellite communication where business and industry can transmit data, voice and video around the world through a satellite link. Companies such as Walmart use VSATs to process data to and from their stores nationwide (Lawton, 1994). Understanding the basics of what constitutes a VSAT network and how it operates will establish a basis of knowledge to expand on the various applications. Illustrating the commercial and military use of these satellite networks will show how space capabilities can be more advantageous over terrestrial methods of communication. The use of VSAT communication is ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... TDMA uses timing to allow multiple signals within a specified amount of time. This would be like a large group taking turns talking at different time intervals. CDMA uses codes to allow multiple signals with specific individual codes. This would be like a group of individuals speaking in different languages. FDMA uses different frequencies within the signal. This would be like a group of individual speaking at different tones or levels. Using different code, time, frequency and other access schemes allows a large number of signals to be transmitted, identified and differentiated simultaneously. There are two basic types of VSAT networks: Mesh topology networks and star topology networks. A mesh topology network is a point–to–point network consisting of multiple locations and antennas as described above. A star topology network is usually a larger network where multiple equipment sets (antennas and modems) are placed in various locations. These geographically dispersed equipment sets are also referred to as nodes. Each node transmits its signal through a satellite to a larger modem and antenna called a "hub". A hub modem is a more complex unit compared to those of an individual node and the hub antenna is slightly larger with more power capability (usually 4– 11 meters in diameter). In star topologies, each node communicates to the satellite and the satellite communicates to the hub. The hub acts as a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Johannes Kepler 's A Perfect World Johannes Kepler was a modern individual and he believed that God would have created a perfect world and in that world everything was geometrically perfect. In Banville's book about Kepler it says, "The search for knowledge everywhere encounters geometrical relations in nature, which God, in creating the world, laid out (Banville 1981, p.145)." As he pursued the answer to planetary motion, he assumed that the planets orbited the sun in a perfect circle. He tried to seek order in his chaotic life through science and rational thought. While pursuing his research on planetary orbit, he struggled to keep his three worlds; rational, emotional, and social; in order. Kendura says that a novel provides knowledge of life as lived by individuals (Kendura 1988). Kepler's life definitely represents the hassles a normal person's life is like. In his rational world he could logically come up with a reason for different phenomenas. He spends his life researching planetary orbit and astronomical tables. Dealing with his rational world is somewhat easier than dealing with his emotional and social worlds because the rational world is based on research, facts, and evidence. For Toulmin planetary orbit is just a physical law of nature, which according to the Cartesian Dichotomy would fall under the body and not the mind. Kepler also follows the dichotomy in many ways, so he would probably agree with Toulmin. His emotional life is probably the messiest of his three worlds. In his emotional ...

  • 5. The Space Race Essay The years after World War II was a time of great scientific and technological advancements. With these advancements came great tension and rivalry between the United States and the former Union of Soviet Socialists Republic (USSR). The biggest rivalry between the two superpowers was the advancement in space technology. In 1952, the International Geophysical Year (IGY) was established in which scientists stated that in the time between July 1, 1957 and December 31, 1958, solar activity would be at a high point. The IGY made it so that both the US and the USSR became determined to be the first to reach space, and so the space race was born. During the space race, the USSR made many launches that were very advanced and superior to the US. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This launch was extraordinary because it put the first living mammal into space. "This satellite was much heavier than Sputnik 1, having two cabins, one for the equipment and controls and another for Laika, the dog. Laika's cabin provided her with oxygen, food, water and allowed the dog enough room to lie down and stand"(Siddiqi). It was predicted that Laika would live for ten days, but due to thermal problems inside the satellite she only survived for about two. At the time of Sputnik 2, there was no mention of the US even trying to send any living organism into space because they were still having trouble with regular satellite launches. This launch not only further emphasized the Soviet Union's superiority to the United States, but it also provided scientists with the first data of a living organism in space and foreshadowed the future in human space travel. By the anniversary of Sputnik 1, it seemed like the United States were catching up to the Soviet Union in terms of satellites launched.

Binary Data Analysis Satellite sensors send bits of binary data to ground stations on Earth for processing into useful meteorological and environmental information enabling enhanced decision making capabilities. Thereby, preventing injuries and fatalities, preserving assets, and reducing time delays. Binary data are comprised of zeroes and ones. One bit contains either a "0" or a "1". A single bit, in and of itself, does not have a lot of value until it is used. The same is true of information. Information does not have value until it is utilized. Prior attempts to value information have used deterministic methods. However, these methods have been less than successful.

This framework can be used to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of various types of data sources in relation to other types of data sources. For instance, how does data from buoys contributes to forecast accuracy versus data ingested from microwave, satellite sensors versus measurements obtained from radio occultation sensors versus observations from sondes, etc. The framework can be applied at the macro or micro–level. Although macro–level uses should be considered a rough order of magnitude. It is important when doing comparisons that the data is normalized at the lowest level possible (ideally bits) is used. Consistent, standardized data is required for this type of analysis. Dollarizing the results is optional. Pegging the results to a currency will provide a benchmark for accessing the value of meteorological and environmental information enabling better valuation assessments from source to source and program to program. The pegging can be altered as better insights are gained from actual results. In this case, the data were pegged to a less volatile digital currency. The currency is less stable than the dollar (currently), but then information downlinked from satellites is less stable than the words printed in a book.

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," is one of the most recognized quotes by Neil Armstrong as he was taking the first human steps on the moon. But was he actually on the moon? Some would say that on July 20, 1969, man did not make it to the moon and Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin never touched the lunar surface of the moon. The explanation is that the government faked the landing and moon walk somehow. Why fake the moon landing though? This was a momentous time in American history and it could be a lie.

  • 13. The Electric Telegraph Invented By Samuel Morse One of the earliest inventions of communication was the electric telegraph invented by Samuel Morse. This device used electrical signals to transmit messages. The telegraph played a significant role in transmitting messages over long spaces. Its usage was in Law enforcement, army and newspapers. Even so, anyone could post messages using a telegram via a service. Today, there are roughly three principal methods of measuring the velocity of data contagion. Baud rate (signaling events per minute), BPS (bits per Sec) and CPS (characters per minute). The fact is, today the baud rate has been substituted with a more precise unit of measurement. Telephones are most mutual and are ground in almost every home and organizations. Telephones worked by using a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). This is where copper wires carry an analogue voice signal. Analogue means a device or organization in which the value of a data point represented by a continuously varying physical quantity which can be quantified. An example is a watch that shows time with hands on a dial rather than numbers on an LCD screen. In an analogue telephone system, the audio signal is converted into electronic pulses. This creates vibrations in the handset's speaker that can be picked up by the person listening. Nevertheless, in a digital telephone. The audio signal is converted into binary format.

This race was known as the space race and it was a very long and twisted path that it bared on its shoulders. Now that after America and the Soviet Union where both partaking in the space race they both had suspicions about each other.

America was worried about the Soviets spying on America because of security issues so America wanted to pursue on building themselves a satellite to "provide accurate pictures of Soviet military capabilities" (DeGroot 5).

  • 15. The Physics Of Satellites Orbiting Earth Satellites orbiting earth will experience external perturbations that can affect the orbit. The primary force acting on the satellite depends on the altitude of the orbit. The most significant effect is caused by atmospheric drag which affects satellites in low earth orbit. Outside of low earth orbit, satellites still experience external forces that could change the orbit however unlike atmospheric drag, the orbit altitude will not necessarily decrease. In addition to atmospheric drag, satellites are subject to thermal drag and gravity perturbations. Atmospheric Drag: (Author: Emma) Atmospheric drag effects all spacecraft orbiting earth below 2,000 km, producing both short periodic and slow perturbations. It is the is the largest source of error in modeling the force on many satellites because it is difficult to predict [2]. Atmospheric drag is caused by the collisions of gas molecules with the spacecraft. Over time, the collisions start to decay the orbit. Demonstrating a positive feedback effect, where drag decreases the orbital altitude where the density is greater which produces more drag which then decays quicker. Factors that influence drag are the atmospheric drag surrounding the spacecraft, as well as the spacecrafts drag coefficient, area, mass and velocity [1]. The atmospheric density is not constant and changes with solar activity. The solar magnetic activity cycle is the periodic change in the sun 's activity that lasts around 11 years.

  • 16. Analysis Of The Film Gravity I want to start by recognizing that in my earlier film papers I have made the mistake of summarizing all of the science in each of the films from start to finish. By doing so my paper essentially became a summary of the film rather than an explanation of the science found within it. To avoid repeating these mistakes I would like to focus on a few scientific concepts that I found interesting in this film, Gravity. The first, and likely most obvious is the concept of surviving in space. Second, the concept of floating freely in space. Third, the concept of decomposition in the zero–gravity atmosphere of space. And fourth, the part of the movie where lieutenant Kowalski propels himself with a fire extinguisher. I believe that Isaac Newton's three laws can help me to explain these concepts. Gravity was a thrilling film that showed a situation in which astronauts were stranded in space without a spacecraft or any means of communication. The surviving astronauts had to fight for their lives in theoretically hardly survivable and unlivable conditions. The main dilemma, and theme of the entire film, was the destruction of the International Space Station (ISS) and most of the astronauts on board.

  • 27. Government Funded Versus Privately Funded Human Life Introduction to Government Funded Versus Privately Funded Human Spaceflight Getting into space isn 't easy. It required the world 's largest superpowers and billions of dollars of research and development to create the first rockets capable of carrying human beings into space. Approximately 60 years later, we find ourselves still struggling to reach LEO (low–Earth Orbit) without breaking the bank. With the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2011, the United States has lost its only dedicated vehicle capable sending astronauts and payloads into orbit. Relying on the Russian Soyuz vehicle for our missions, the price of sending people into space has continued to be astronomical. America needs a new line of cheaper rockets to fit the demand of future missions, and what role the government should play in this expensive development process is a complicated debate which affects many people. We 're paying too much to go to space. NASA typically contracts out launch vehicles from private companies for their launch needs, and historically they have almost always gone to the United Launch Alliance (a joint venture between Lockheed and Boeing). Up until recently, they have been one of the only organizations capable of sending cargo to both low– Earth orbit and geosynchronous orbit (an orbit which matches the trajectory of the craft with the rotation of the Earth). As a result, a monopoly has been created, and the price of sending anything into space costs a ridiculous amount of money. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Review Of ' The Sci Fi Ben Moulton Erika Harnett ESS 102 AA 15 Apr. 2016 Deadly Debris Humans tend to think of space as infinite, that is true as far as we can tell, however the space around Earth is not infinite. After the Space race began in the late 1950's countries began sending satellites into space for various purposes. Today these Satellites are very important to everyday life, but there is a looming problem that has often been overlooked. Low Earth orbit, where most satellites and spacecraft are located is filled with the remains of many old and decaying satellites. Space debris is very dangerous for any human or structure in space and could eventually make low Earth orbit too hazardous to ever use again. The Sci–Fi paper I am currently working on is a story about a group of astronauts in the near future who are returning from mining an asteroid. In this story it is much like the moon landings in that people were very intrigued at first but have lost interest now. These are just routine missions that hardly anyone knows or cares about. This all changes however when two satellites in high orbit on Earth collide, one being a communication satellite with the astronauts. The unaware astronauts, now returning to Earth, have no idea what is hurtling toward them at 15,000 miles an hour. NASA is unable to reestablish communication quickly enough and the craft is hit.

There are issues involved with space exploration, though, such as space debris, astronaut safety, and the theory of space exploration really being a mission to find an alternative livable space if Earth ever becomes uninhabitable. Understanding the real reasons why we are going to such great lengths to find life in space could change the outlook on our future. For a long time, our endeavors in space exploration were based purely in the name of science. When we made our first accomplishments, we made history. One of our most historical accomplishments was NASA's mission to the moon. Buzz Aldrin was a lunar module pilot on the spaceflight Apollo 11 in 1969. He went alongside Neil Armstrong as the second man in history to step foot on the moon. In his 2013 article in Astronomy, Buzz states, "Looking at Earth from that perspective, everything I knew and loved lay suspended overhead, residing on a small, fragile, bright blue sphere engulfed by the blackness of space" (p.24). This sight that he explained not only changed his perspective, but brought unspeakable awe to humanity's front door and changed our entire view of Earth. From that moment when these men landed on the moon, and we saw our home from that distance, history was made.

They will first provide a rich source of minerals and material for initial economic expansion and concurrently providing platforms for operations and manufacturing. Eventually, asteroids could be used as space vehicles to move humans across and possibly beyond the solar system effectively becoming mobile bases of operations and even space colonies. The only significant limitations for this future growth are technological capability and legal ambiguity for large scale human space activity. For any space activity to overcome its limitations and get off the ground, the activity must generate a great deal of interest.

Advantages of the Star Network Design It is the most cost effective strategy for "cash–strapped" businesses with no special emphasis on security. Sometimes the cheapest design doesn't always translate into the easiest design. In this case, the translation is a success. The hub will serve as the intermediary between the computers and the internet (via cable modem). Also, in this case, easy design also translate into easy troubleshooting of any network problem. The star network allows troubleshooters to isolate issues on the network instead of taking the entire local network offline. Moreover, the star network implies direct data flow from the computers (via hub) to the internet instead of the data flowing through the nodes first. Hence, speed is a benefit of such a network. In addition, because of the direct data flow methodology (nodes–to–hub–to–modem–to–internet–and–vice–versa), the data is safe. Finally, the star network allows for expansion of nodes, hubs, and gateways without losing any of the networks advantages listed on this page.

It is very apparent that we as the human race, while broken up into many different countries, have grown accustom to the comforts, knowledge, and safety provided by the technology we launch into space. Examples of the benefits are cellphones, GPS for direction, environmental studies, weather forecasting, defense, and much more. However, with every placement of advanced technology into orbit the continuation of the ability to launch additional assets are at risk. The thousands of articles left behind following the launch of spacecraft or vehicles generate that risk. Over the past fifty plus years, the risk has increased exponentially. Donald Kessler, a NASA astrophysicist, shared his perception of such risk in 1978 (LaVone, 2014). Mr. Kessler theorized a self–sufficient event capable of eradicating viable assets within the condensed orbital space encompassing Earth. Mr. Kessler noted that the collision of defunct satellites or other objects left behind in space are capable of ensuing a chain reaction of epic magnitude. The focus of Kessler's theory projected beyond the larger size debris but "emphasized the imminent danger of small debris in orbit" (LaVone, 2014).

On the receiving end, the demodulator works by detecting one or both of the frequencies, often with a band–pass filter, regenerating the input signal. You can also use a signal processor to convert the carrier from time domain to frequency domain with a fourier transform, and then pick off the signal that way.) The FSK method of modulating/demodulation is typically limited to low frequency signal rates, such as 300 bits per second 1.2.2: FSK DEMODULATION: FSK demodulation is the process of recovering the original signal by detecting the frequencies involved in the original modulation. Typically, this is done with a bandpass amplifier tuned to one of the two frequencies, followed by a amplitude demodulator. The output is the original signal. It is possible, though often unecessary, to use two bandpass ampliers, one for each frequency, but this is redundant. It is also possible to use a digital signal processing technique to perform a fourier transform on the input signal, but that can be complex and costly. This is the method used in very early modems, up to around 1200 baud. It is also possible, using FSK, to send multiple signals across one line. Simply pick suitable frequencies for each modulation state, and mix the outputs into one consolidated analog signal.
