Countries with Robots in Space 5. Atmospheric Probes: These space probes remain in, or transit through the atmosphere of the planet or moon and study weather patterns and atmospheric peculiarities until its end. The Huygens probe to Titan acted as an atmospheric probe and then a lander once it was on the surface of Saturn's moon.

What are the different types of land based telescopes and space telescopes? Best Answer: When we observe, we usually observe a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ground Based Telescopes -- Are easy to build, but hindered by the fact that much of the EM spectrum is blocked by the earth's atmosphere: Radio Telescopes -- Observe Radio Waves. These are the big dishes out in the desert. Submilimeter Telescopes -- Observe just above radio waves.

Newfound Alien Planet Is One of the Farthest Ever Detected A NASA telescope has co-discovered one of the most distant planets ever identified: a gas giant about 13,000 light-years away from Earth.The technique used by the Spitzer Space Telescope, called microlensing, is so new that it has only yielded about 30 planet discoveries so far. NASA telescope has co-discovered one of the most distant planets ever identified: a gas giant about 13,000 light-years away from Earth.

- Reports last year that NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft had left the solar system and entered interstellar space were a bit premature -- but the moment is close, BBC News reports. New data indicates that, 36 years after it blasted off from Earth, the pace probe is right at the precipice of deep space.

Outer space The first successful space probe was the Soviet Luna 1 flyby of the Moon in 1959. Luna 1 reached the escape velocity of the Earth, and passed within 5,995 km (3,725 mi) of the Moon's surface after 83 hours of flight.

Corrosion in space Different materials resist corrosion in space differently. For example, aluminium is slowly eroded by atomic oxygen, while gold and platinum are highly corrosion-resistant. Gold-coated foils and thin layers of gold on exposed surfaces are therefore used to protect the spacecraft from the harsh environment.

Three types of space All inventions come from these three types of space. In the Chid Akash, in the consciousness it is already there. All knowledge comes to Chit Akash from the Chidakash through thoughts and emotions. Songs come as emotions, science comes as thoughts and ideas and then they manifest.

Deep-Space Engines Up to 50 times as efficient as chemical rockets, they are now primarily used for satellite station-keeping. NASA's Deep Space 1, launched in 1998, was the first probe to use an ion engine for main propulsion. Dawn, which is currently exploring the asteroid belt, also uses one. First Used For Propulsion 1998.

Secret Space Shuttles Secret Space Shuttles. When you’re 200 miles up, it’s easy to hide what you’re up to. All five NASA astronauts on the classified STS-28 mission had military backgrounds. But only two of the defense department’s corps of 27 shuttle payload specialists made it to orbit. The giant gold and silver satellite glittered against the black sky as space shuttle Atlantis closed in on it from below.

Robots in Space Manned Space Robots. A manned spacecraft carries Astronauts to space. Unlike an unmanned probe, the manned spacecraft consists of a crew compartment and life support systems. This type of spacecraft can either be reused as in the case of Space Shuttle or designed for one-time use as in Soyuz.

What does space smell of? Meat and metal, say astronauts It is a question that has long puzzled earthbound scientists - what does space actually smell of? Thanks to an orbiting astronaut, we now know the answer, and it is even stranger than you might expect. Astronauts say the unique smell aboard the International Space Station is reminiscent of two things - meat and metal. The smell of space: A Nasa astronaut revealed the International space Station smells of meat and metal. It has been described as like 'seared steak', 'hot metal' and welding fumes'. Astronaut's have largely agreed on the scent. Tony Antonelli has said, definitely has a smell that's different than anything else..

How many space shuttles were built? Confidence votes 10. There were six space shuttles built between the late 70s and early 1990s. Their names are: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery,Atlantis and Endeavor. The Enterprise flew several times on top of a modified Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet, and did glidding tests in the 70s, but never went into space. This tests lead to discovering problems with heat tiles falling off that were resolved in later shuttles.

Satellites and Space Probes Right now the farthest that we have sent a spaceship that has people onboard has been to the moon. That's only 250,000 miles away. That seems far, but the sun is 93,000,000 miles away! The furthest unmanned spaceships are the Pioneer and Voyager probes that visited Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus.e have put telescopes in space, like the Hubble Space Telescope. A telescope in space is above Earth's atmosphere. This lets us see more clearly and also lets us see kinds of light, like ultraviolet and X-rays, that don't go through the atmosphere.

Types of Space Heaters Fact Sheet Types of Space Heaters: 1  Convection: Convection heaters generate heat by heating air that comes in contact with one or two elements. 2  Radiant: Radiant heaters use liquid, usually diathermic oil, circulated through a series of connected pipes, to generate heat.

Today in Science History â January 24 â Project ZETA Japan launches their first lunar probe named Hiten. It was the first lunar probe launched by a country other than the United States or the Soviet Union. The small satellite entered a highly elliptical orbit around Earth that took it past the Moon. On its first flyby, it ejected a smaller probe called Hagoromo into lunar orbit. Hiten was then used to demonstrate the practice of aerobraking where using the resistance of the upper atmosphere to slow a spacecraft and change its orbit. Hiten was the first spacecraft to use this technique. 1986 – Voyager 2 passes the planet Uranus.

6 Fascinating Facts About Space Probe Voyager 1 When Voyager 1 blasted off from Earth on September 5, 1977, it was designed to last for five years. Today, the space probe continues to communicate with NASA as it approaches the heliopause—the boundary between our solar system and interstellar space. The farthest manmade object from Earth, Voyager 1 may keep exploring space for another 10 or 20 years before its power runs out. Meanwhile, check out these cool facts about the spacecraft and its mission.
