Science project
The document discusses Pluto's reclassification from a planet to a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006. It provides background on Pluto's discovery in 1930 and its initial classification as the ninth planet. It then explains that the IAU formed a committee to define what qualifies as a planet after struggling to do so. The committee established three criteria for planet status, and based on these criteria, Pluto did not clear its orbital path of other objects and was reclassified as a dwarf planet. The document supports the original hypothesis that classifications in science are continually evolving with new discoveries and information.
Space probes
The document discusses the Voyager space probes. It describes how the Voyager probes were launched in 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida to explore Jupiter and Saturn. It then explains how the mission was extended to explore the outer solar system beyond Neptune. The Voyager probes have made many discoveries about the outer planets and their moons through photography and other instrument readings.
Redone final project
Space probes are unmanned spacecraft that collect science information from locations in space without astronauts. They carry instrument packages to conduct scientific experiments and transmit data back to Earth. Probes can fly by, orbit, or land on planets, moons, asteroids, and comets to study features from a close proximity. Some notable space probes include Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Cassini, Curiosity, and probes launched by ISRO to study planets in our solar system.
Satellites, Space Transports, and Space Probes
The document discusses several space exploration technologies including the Hubble Space Telescope, the Very Large Array radio telescope, Mars rovers like Viking 1 and Spirit, Apollo moon missions like Apollo 16, early satellites like Sputnik 1 and 2, and observation satellites. It provides details on the design, capabilities, and scientific objectives of these different technologies that have advanced humanity's understanding of space.
Space craft,space probe,space station,space shuttle and rocket
This document defines and describes five key space-related terms: spacecraft, space probe, space station, space shuttle, and rocket. It explains that spacecraft are vehicles designed to operate in outer space and are used for purposes like communication, exploration, and transporting humans. Space probes are scientific exploration missions that leave Earth to explore other areas of space. Space stations are spacecraft designed to remain in orbit for extended periods and support human crews, while relying on other vehicles to transport people and cargo. The space shuttle was a partially reusable spacecraft operated by NASA to transport people and cargo to and from low Earth orbit. Rockets use carried propellants and the thrust from rocket engines to push themselves forward by expelling exhaust rearwards very fast.
A journey of human in space and on
Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into outer space on April 12, 1961 when he completed an orbit of Earth during a 108-minute Vostok 1 mission. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Alan Shepard was the first American in space when he conducted a 15-minute suborbital flight on May 5, 1961 aboard the Mercury capsule Freedom 7. Apollo 9 tested the Lunar Module for the first time in Earth orbit in preparation for landing on the Moon.

Science Fact Or Fiction
This document provides 10 examples of science fact or fiction questions related to space and sci-fi topics. It summarizes the evidence for whether each statement is factual or fictional. Key findings include that multiple planetary systems have been discovered, some microorganisms can survive in space without protection, and organisms have been found thriving in extremely hot water. However, there is no conclusive evidence of life beyond Earth and we do not currently have the technology for interstellar travel or teleporting people.
Chapter 18 Lecture
The chapter discusses the history of life in the universe from its beginnings through cosmic evolution. Key stages included the formation of amino acids on Earth and possibly in space, as well as the first single-celled organisms appearing around 3.5 billion years ago. Other places in the solar system like Mars, Europa, and Titan could potentially harbor life. While the Drake equation estimates the number of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy, many of its factors are uncertain, so the nearest technological civilization is likely hundreds of lightyears away. We have sent probes into space carrying information and our radio broadcasts leak signals, while actively listening for messages at the "water hole" frequency.

It emphasizes developing a cosmic perspective through science fiction and having nerves of steel to work towards ambitious goals that can make a dent in the universe over the next 5 or more years through advancing technology and human achievement in space and beyond Earth.
Searching for Intelligent Life on Other Planets is a Goal Worth Pursuing
Abstract
For centuries, humans have tilted back their heads and gazed upon the heavens in wonder. What’s out there and are we alone in this universe? This paper addresses the need for humans worldwide to continue our search for life on other planets, and argues that it is our natural instinct to discover new worlds, much like the early explorers of the 15th Century. The paper covers the leadership role of SETI, as well as the projected funds for such missions. Themes from fields like astrobiology, economics and motivation will be considered and analyzed from a neutral standpoint. This paper will entertain the notion that we may, in fact, be alone in this universe. Aside from the money, the interest and the people advocating for the extra-terrestrial search, this paper will also address the mathematical probability of life existing in our galaxy, using the famed Drake Equation, contemplating the “habitable zone,” and even looking at evidence of life already found. The paper concludes, explaining why the search for intelligent life on other planets and our universe is a worthwhile goal.

The Hunt for Exoplanets
The curiosity to find earth-like planet can be dated to long time ago. But because of the incapability of the available technologies, it was a dream to detect planets beyond our solar system. After the time stated, the space research have taken a new leap and opened a new era of information. The concept of Exoplanet born. It can also be referred to as Extra Solar Planet. Any planet which is not within our solar system is Exoplanet. But an absolute definition is quite complex and problematic. So some of the important characteristics of an Exoplanet is it has to be earth-like environment, it can be giant or terrestrial type
Exoplanets for the Masses: Crowdsourcing the Search for New Worlds
1) The document discusses how citizen science projects like Planet Hunters and Exoplanet Explorers have helped discover exoplanets by analyzing light curve data from NASA's Kepler and K2 missions.
2) The NASA TESS mission, launched in 2018, will provide light curves for over 20 million stars that will need analysis from citizen scientists through new crowdsourcing platforms.
3) Citizen science has proven highly impactful in exoplanet discovery so far and will continue to play an important role in analyzing the huge amount of data expected from NASA's TESS mission.
The Marti Science Fiction
The Mars Exploration Rover mission involved two robotic rovers - Spirit and Opportunity - that were launched by NASA in 2003. Spirit landed in Gusev Crater on January 4, 2004, while Opportunity landed in Meridiani Planum on January 25, 2004. Opportunity is still operational after 10 years, while communication with Spirit was lost in 2010 after 6 years of operation. The rovers found evidence of past water on Mars and signs that the planet was once habitable. The mission provided valuable data about Mars' geology and climate and their suitability for microbial life.
Comets, Calamaties and Planet X
This document provides an overview of comets, predictions of the end of the world, and the alleged "Planet X." It discusses comet composition, past comet and asteroid impacts on Earth, the solar system's scale and amateur astronomy. It examines data from comets Wild 2, Halley and Tempel 1, as well as comet probe missions. The document analyzes the story of Comet Hale-Bopp and its link to an apocalyptic prediction. It also reviews theories about comets, including the standard "dirty snowball" model and alternative "electric comet" theory. Finally, it summarizes the controversy over an alleged companion object photographed near Hale-Bopp by amateur astronomer Chuck Shramek.

Background
We can search for evidence of past, or even present, life forms within our own solar system, find
evidence of simple life on planets around other stars –- a planet where water could be present has
recently be found –- or even detect an intelligent signal from an alien civilization. The speaker was
a project scientist in the most sensitive search, Project Phoenix, ever undertaken. Sadly, no signals
were detected but a new 10 year search using two of the world’s largest radio telescopes is about
to begin and, during the next decade, a giant radio telescope, the Square Kilometer Array, will have
the sensitivity to detect alien signals from across the galaxy.
Scientific discoveries in 2013
This document summarizes 17 important scientific discoveries from 2013, including the abilities of bees to sense electric fields from flowers, the detection of over 1,000 exoplanets that likely exist, and the discovery of an insect with interlocking leg gears. It also discusses findings such as the amount of water in Martian soil from the Curiosity rover, using whale earwax to determine lifespans, and the "eerie" sounds detected from interstellar space by Voyager 1. Further topics covered include evidence of climate change, detecting neutrinos from outside the solar system, a new carnivorous mammal found in Colombia, and growing brain-like organoids in a lab.
Suborbital Opportunities for Students
This was a talk I gave at CU Boulder SEDs in Nov 2011 to showcase the variety and opportunities for student-run science and engineering experiments on suborbital platforms. The area of suborbital space is rapidly expanding and is set to change how we expand our use of technology for future science and exploration space missions.
THE ADVANCES NEEDED IN COSMOLOGY TO SAVE THE HUMANITY OF EXTINCTION
Cosmology is the branch of astronomy that studies the structure and evolution of the Universe as a whole, worrying both about its origin and its evolution. This article aims to present the scientific advances that need to be made in cosmology to contribute to the adoption of technological solutions to protect humanity from threats to its extinction coming from outer space. The future of humanity depends on the success achieved in advancing knowledge about the Universe, especially 10 major cosmological issues that need to be clarified so that humanity can, with scientific knowledge, adopt measures to protect itself from threats to its survival and seek locations in or outside the solar system that could be habitable by humans.
KGrothe -ASAT2016-DefendingEarth
The document discusses the threat posed by asteroids impacting Earth and various methods for detecting and defending the planet from asteroids. It notes that while the threat to any individual is low, the risk over long periods of time is not negligible. As such, efforts are underway to detect asteroids through programs like NASA's NEO Program and track their motions to understand the risk. If an asteroid is determined to pose an impact threat, various defensive techniques are proposed, including deflecting asteroids using laser beams, nuclear weapons, or kinetic impactors to alter the asteroid's path away from Earth. International efforts aim to both detect potentially hazardous asteroids and develop impact mitigation strategies.
