Earths Atmosphere

The earths atmosphere is way different from any other planet.One thing is that because of the earths atmosphere we have seasons.Another thing is that are earth is the only planet that can support life.Also the chemicals that we have on the earth help and destroy are planet.another interesting thing is if a metered comes to earth are atmosphere will blow it up but on any other planet the metered will smash in to it and leave a mark,if a metered hits earth the mark will change after time.

      Space ShuttCarries crew into space Reused Allows astronauts to fix things Space Station
      large artificial satellite

      people live and work on for long periods

       

      The role of space shuttle

       

       go in to space and fix any thing that is broken

        The role of space station       to have people live and work for long periods of time   Space probe     spacecraft   scientific instrument that collect data   collect visual data with no life on bored 3 things that all space probes have each have power system to produce electricity

      communication system to send and receive signals

      scientific instrument to collect data and perform experiments

      Advantages is that people dont have to risk there life by going up into space but if it brakes then they have to go up there ne ways and fix it

    The Moon Eclipses and Tides

    Space Exploration

    The Science of Rockets

    There are 3 stages.The first is called Atlas,witch uses soiled-fuel boosters and liquid-fuel engines to launch.The second stage is called Centaur,witch only uses liquid-fuel.The third stage is the Payload-the satellite or spacecraft that falls to earth and burns.

    The Space Program

    NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.There the people who came up with missions for the astronauts to do.Like project Mercury,where they tested if people could live in space.Apollo 13 is an air craft tested to see how it would work,it didn't turn out that good.

    Exploring Space Today

    The iss came up with little robots powered by solar cells.They go up with the astronauts and fly right next to them,using fans that control the way they move.

    Using Space Science on Earth

    NASA isn't getting enough money to build more stuff.they wont money so they can explore the unknown.Many people argue that the money can be spent better like for education or medical research.
