Space Technology - 1

Hey Guys, 

                   Welcome to this another amazing post of Anonymous.

In this time, whenever we talk about or listen about a space technology, we thought at that time and keen interested to know more information about this Technology. For instance, Space shuttle, Space station, Space probe, and many more...

 

In our everyday life, we show many news and technology about Space. For example, Weather forecasting, Remote sensing technology, GPS system, and many more.

So, We will discuss about a new interesting topic which is SPACE TECHNOLOGY.

# What is Space Technology?

     Space Technology is developed by aerospace industry for use in exploration, Like, Spaceflight, Satelites, Space station, and many more. Space technology having a positive impact today and also in near future it will become more beneficial for human beings. By space activities, we can see weather prediction, Climate monitoring, Observation of Earth, Improvement of Communication system, and many more advantages. 

The main and most use of Space technology is about GPS tracking. Nowadays, many of people are travelling world across, While they travelling, they definitely use this tracking software or device.

# SPACE EXPLORATION

        Space exploration is also known as Explore outer space with the space technology and Astronomy. Space exploration need many advanced technology for serciving in the space. So, Basically there are some information about exploration technology and instruments.

1. Remote sensing Technology :-

    

                        Generally, this technology is used for sensor system in satellite and space shuttle. It detect objects on earth and find reviews about it. It is based on electromagnetic signal, which recieve data from sensor system, it include the data about surface, atmosphere, oceans. If this sensor find any problem in this surface, then it send the signal to the main center, where it can control.

2. Hubble space telescope :-

                         This telescope launched in to orbit in 1990.This instruments is one of the amazing creation in the history of humanity. It have multiple cameras, telescope, which click uncountable images from outer space and send it to the community. The Hubble space telescope watch earth's every place and inform any perspective place, If any disaster take place.   

3. Kepler Spacecraft :-

                        One of the lowest cost orbital telescope, which was launched in 2009. The main purpose of Kepler is locate milky way galaxy and explore. This telescope contain 1039 kilogram mass. It completed some operation Like, BOULDER, COLORADO and many more..  

4. Rovers :-

 

                       Rover is designed for surviving and exploring on planets and searching different things on various planets. It is a grate a creation ever in the space science. Rovers are lunched by the LANDERS ( Spacecraft ). It collect information about the dust, soil, rocks, air and some other things. Rovers have high ability to accelerate and withstand in high and low pressure, Dust, Rays.

Essential in space exploration.

5. Landers :- 

                       It is also known as a Spacecraft. When landers landing on any planet, it employ parachutes for slowing down the velocity. The first lander was LUNAR, which landed on the moon in 1959. Recently, India launched a CHANDRAYAN-2, which make a soft landing on the surface of the MOON by (ISRO) INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, but it lost contact to control just before landing.

6. ISS ( INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION ) :-

                          This massive space station is in low earth orbit. This space is very helpful for researchers. By space station, they're able to search and doing space experiment in different laboratories.Many crew members are living there and doing research about space. This space station are collaborative with other 5 space agencies,

1.NASA ( United states of America )

2. CSA ( CANADA )

3. ESA ( EUROPE )

4. ROSCOSMOS ( RUSSIA )

5. JAXA ( JAPAN )

This ISS is divided into two parts, 

1. Russian Orbital Segment ( ROS ) which is operated by RUSSIA.

2. United States Orbital Segment ( USOS ) which is operated by USA.

It is the largest artificial object on the space and rotate in low Earth orbit. It completing 15.5 orbits per day. The major component of ISS is Pressurised module, which was fitted in 2011.

The gravity at the altitude of the ISS is almost 90% as earth surface. So, the condition of space station is totally freefall and weightlessness.

7. Space Probe :-

                        Space probe is also known as a spacecraft. Most of space craft are operated by Robots. It does not fly on the orbit of the earth, but it explore outer space. For example, on Mars, Moon, Mercury and many more...Around 15 mission are running by the probes.

here, some list of well-known probes

1. Luna-9 First probe, which is made by man, completely land on mars surface.

2. Luna-3 It is used to clicked some photos of the surface of Moon.

3. Luna-16 Operated by robot and successfully returned to the earth's surface.

4. Lunokhod-1 1st probe which was landed to the moon.

5. Mariner-10 1st probe to explore Mercury.

6. Venera-4 For Venus exploration.

7. Venera-7 Successfully soft land on other planet.

8. Mariner-9 Rotated around other planet.

9. Mars-3 For searching on the Mars planet.

                       

The following 2 main probes is very helpful in exploration.

1. Voyager-1

                    This probe is heaviest and fastest man made probe. It's weight about 733 kilogram. It explored Saturn, Jupiter and captured many of images of space.    

2. Voyager-2

                   This was launched by NASA on 1977. It traveled Uranus,Neptune planets. It has been operated for 41 Years and 2 months. It searched many interesting things on different planets and marked as a valuable probe.

8. Space Shuttle :-

                          Many of people are amazed whenever they listened about the Space shuttle. It is also called the first REUSABLE SPACECRAFT. It is launched like the way of launching Rocket, and also It return and land like an aeroplane landing. It is designed for carrying a large payloads Like, Satelites, Probes and many more. It is officially managed by NASA. 

The main and official site of launching Space Shuttle is in Florida, Kennedy Space Center. It fed more than 500,000 gallons of fuel, Liquid oxygen, Liquid hydrogen is necessary in Space shuttle.

# Space Shuttle's Components

1. Two solid Rocket Booster ( SRB ) , which provide most of Boost to the Shuttle.

2. The huge External tank, which fed a massive fuel to the three main engines.

3. The orbiter, Crew cabin, Payload Bay and three main engines.

Once, the SRB of shuttle is empty, It separated and break contact from Shuttle, about 45 kilometer above. The boosters descended by parachute on ocean, Because it is reusable.

After the SRB separated, the orbiter, which carried the external tank, which contain a massive fuel. It break contact after 113 km ( 70 Miles ) up, Because it ended up with Fuel.

The orbiter is the main part of the Space Shuttle, Because it have a crew member's cabin base. The orbiter is about 37 meters long and have a wingspan of 78 feet. The maximum number of crew member is eight astronauts.  

Space Shuttle faced two main disaster, 

1. on Jan. 28, 1986 ( CHALLENGER )

2. on Feb. 1, 2003 ( COLUMBIA ).

Total of 14 astronauts died on that two missions.

The Shuttle program had total 5 Space Shuttle,

1. COLUMBIA  ( 1981-2003 ) 

                                        Columbia was first space shuttle, which was about to flight and would change this technology. It conducted many of mission. Like, Spacelab, Service of Hubble Telescope. On Feb. 1, 2003 During landing, it faced many problems and broke up in the atmosphere.  

2. CHALLENGER ( 1983-1986 ) 

                                        Challenger was mainly constructed as a test vehicle, But after that it involved for space flight. The shuttle exploded on Jan. 28, 1986. Due to, technical issue in external Booster.

3. DISCOVERY ( 1984-2011 )

                                       This Shuttle had an issue with a fuel valve, so it this shuttle was returned to the mission in some few weeks. It released the major payload of Hubble telescope. It was a great achievement for human being. Now it is safe at the stephen F. udvar- Hazy airport.   

4. ATLANTIS   ( 1985-2011 )

                                       The first mission of  this atlantis was about secret military mission,1985. It launched 3 communication satellites on the space, and many other mission.

5. ENDEAVOUR ( 1992-2011 ) 

                                      It was constructed from the spare parts of other Space Shuttles and from challenger Shuttle. It completed the repairment of payload bay, Skywalk and participate in INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) Now it is display at the California Science Center.

 

So, Guys this is about the information of space technology-1. I will describe remain details in 2nd part of Blog.
