1. Theme – Understanding the environment of Mars Abstract Recent success of 'Mangalyan' (Mars Orbitor Mission) has made all of us proud of our scientists and engineers. The study of Mars' environment will help us in understanding more about our own environment. This text gives inputs on environment of Mars which can be correlated to the concepts learned by the students in class IX Science. The students are not supposed to memorize the facts and figures mentioned in the text, rather study the facts

Discussion Board NO MISSION TO MARS Many points could be made about benefitting from a human mission to Mars and back, but I believe this type of mission would be a waste of valuable money. With our country already facing so many financial problems, it is in my mind, one of the least logical decisions to keep pumping money into this program. Besides discovering another life form or valuable resource, what would we have to gain from a human mission to Mars. Yes, of course there would

Living on Mars project By Jason Abraham Mr Selmanoski 04.01.2016 In my Living on Mars project on sketchup, I have included the basic requirements needed for a family of four to be able to live on Mars. I have included all of the mandatory rooms needed and I have added a separate space shuttle landing bay. For my renewable energy source, I have used solar panels on top of the shuttle. Since there is not that much atmosphere on Mars, more of the Suns radiation will come onto Mars so by using solar

On October 10 , 2015 the Space exploratory in Maui Hawaii found that on October 30, a “Halloween” asteroid would fly by. It is said that it is not a threat but it is the closest and asteroid has come to earth since 1999.It will still be 300,000 miles away from earth however and it will be following and orbit similar to the moons. The asteroid’s official name is TB145 but many just call it “The Great Pumpkin”. NASA is also now tracking the asteroid and studying it and are planning to use many instruments

The air on Mars — what there is of it — is leaking away, about half a pound a second sputtering into space, scientists announced on Thursday. The planet’s early atmosphere is thought to have been as thick as or thicker than Earth’s today, and even over the 4.5-billion-year history of the solar system, that slow leak would not explain how it atrophied to its current wisps. But new readings from NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission — Maven, for short — show that when Mars is hit by

Natalie Johnson ESS 102 Road to Mars Today was the ninety ninth day of the ESS Enterprises’ three year mission to Mars. Lieutenant Kimberly Janeway was bored. She had been floating about the cabin checking her hourly logs on various instrument panels. With seven of nine panels to go, she was running out of motivation. It was hard to keep going, performing the same tasks day in and day out, looking at the same people over and over. She liked her crew members well enough, they had become like family

Many scientists believe it would be possible to maintain a permanent human presence on Mars or the Moon. On the other hand, conditions on Venus are so extreme and inhospitable that maintaining a human presence there would be impossible. First, atmospheric pressure at Venus' surface is at least 90 times greater than the pressure at Earth’s surface. This means that a force of 100 kilograms is pressing down on every square centimeter of surface. All spacecraft that have landed on Venus have been crushed
