Space Exploration
Made By Mason Cortez
What are the 4 types of space exploration?
Space probes have many types and parts:
Fly-by missions pass nearby planets and moons and take
data from a distance.
Orbiters are parts of missions designed to stay in orbit.
Landers are parts of missions intended to land on a planet
or moon.
Rovers are vehicles designed to travel across a planet or
moon's surface
What is space exploration?
space exploration, investigation, by means of crewed and
uncrewed spacecraft, of the reaches of the universe beyond
Earth's atmosphere and the use of the information so gained
to increase knowledge of the cosmos and benefit humanity.
Is NASA still doing space exploration?
With a look back at 2024, NASA is celebrating its many
innovative and inspiring accomplishments this year
including for the first time, landing new science and
technology on the Moon with an American company,
pushing the boundaries of exploration by launching a new
mission to study Jupiter's icy moon Europa
Who invented space exploration?
The first artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched
by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. The first human to
go into space, Yuri Gagarin, was launched, again by the
Soviet Union, for a one-orbit journey around Earth on April
12, 1961.
What are 10 benefits of space exploration?
Everyday benefits of space exploration
Improving health care. ...
Protecting our planet and our environment. ...
Creating scientific and technical jobs. ...
Improving our day-to-day lives. ...
Enhancing safety on Earth. ...
Making scientific discoveries. ...
Sparking youth's interest in science. ...
Cooperating with countries around the world
What are 3 types of astronauts?
There are three types of astronauts in the U.S. space
program: the commander/pilot, mission specialist, and
payload specialist.
What will happen in 2050 in space?
Space, 2050: There are mining colonies on the moon and
tourist resorts floating in Earth's orbit. People play sports in
space, generate power in space, even grow expensive,
trendy coffee beans in space. That's not entirely science
fiction.
Is space exploration good or bad?
Of course, space exploration will likely never be perfect or
completely safe, but the advantages significantly outweigh
the negatives. In the past, space exploration has proven
itself to be extremely beneficial to the entirety of
humankind and continues to capture people's attention all
over the world.
Fact 1 About Space
A total of 12 Americans on six separate Apollo missions set
foot on the Moon between July 1969 and December 1972.
Since then, no humans have left Earth orbit, but more than
500 men and women have spent as many as 438
consecutive days in space.
Fact 2 About Space
Educational Background. Most astronauts have advanced
degrees in science, engineering, or mathematics, often
holding PhDs. ...
Fact 3 About Space- What happens 600 times a second?
1. Neutron stars can spin at a rate of 600 rotations per
second. Neutron stars are one of the possible evolutionary
end-points of high mass stars. They're born in a core-
collapse supernova star explosion and subsequently rotate
extremely rapidly as a consequence of their physics.
What are 5 facts about Earth in space?
10 Earth facts
Earth isn't actually round.
Coral reefs are Earth's largest living structure.
Earth has a squishy interior.
Antarctica is home to the largest ice sheet on Earth.
The Moon is drifting away from Earth.
Atacama is the driest place on Earth.
Earth's magnetic pole is creeping westward.

Why is 95% of the ocean unexplored?
“The intense pressures in the deep ocean make it an
extremely difficult environment to explore.” Although
you don't notice it, the pressure of the air pushing
down on your body at sea level is about 15 pounds
per square inch. If you went up into space, above
the Earth's atmosphere, the pressure would
decrease to zero.Jun 8, 2020
Why is ocean exploration so difficult?
There are four reasons, lack of visibility, water
pressure, buoyancy and funding. The first reason is
not intuitive, but very real. Although you can see the
bottom of the sea when it is only a few metres down,
it steadily gets more and more difficult as the depth
increases until it appears black.
Is the ocean 100% explored?
Given that the ocean is the largest living space on
our planet and covers nearly 70 percent of Earth's
surface, it seems that perhaps we ought to know a
bit more about the planet we call home. But we
don't... We have only explored five percent of our
world ocean. That means that 95 percent of our
ocean is unknown.
Is there a hidden world under the ocean?
The idea of secret worlds beneath the Earth has
long been the stuff of science fiction. But new
research reveals it's not as far-fetched as it might
appear. Worms and snails have been found living in
cavities under hydrothermal vents more than 2.5
kilometres beneath the ocean's surface.
Will the ocean ever be fully explored?
We have a great deal more to learn about our ocean
and what resides within it, but progress IS being
made. We learn more and more each year. We
continue to discover new features and creatures,
clues to our past, and resources that can improve
our future. But the ocean will never be fully explored.
How deep have we gone in the ocean?
35,814 feet
At 35,814 feet below sea level, its bottom is called
the Challenger Deep — the deepest point known on
Earth. In fact, to put it into perspective, think about
the Titanic, which was found 12,600 feet below the
surface of the Atlantic Ocean — nearly 2.4 miles
down.
What is hidden in Mariana Trench?
Despite the extreme pressure, lack of light, and frigid
temperatures, the Mariana Trench hosts a variety of
life forms. These include microorganisms, as well as
larger organisms like amphipods, and possibly even
fish, adapted to the extreme conditions.
Why haven't we went to the bottom of the ocean?
Gene Feldman, an oceanographer emeritus at
NASA who spent more than 30 years at the space
agency. There's a reason deep-sea exploration by
humans has been so limited: Traveling to the
ocean's depths means entering a realm with
enormous levels of pressure the farther you descend
— a high-risk endeavor
What is the bottom of the Mariana Trench?
the Challenger Deep
The maximum known depth is 10,984 ± 25 metres
(36,037 ± 82 ft; 6,006 ± 14 fathoms; 6.825 ± 0.016
mi) at the southern end of a small slot-shaped valley
in its floor known as the Challenger Deep. The
deepest point of the trench is more than 2 km (1.2
mi) farther from sea level than the peak of Mount
Everest.
Where is the deepest part of the ocean?
he Mariana Trench
The deepest part of the ocean is called the
Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western
Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana
Trench, which runs several hundred kilometers
southwest of the U.S. territorial island of Guam.
Challenger Deep is approximately 10,935 meters
(35,876 feet) deep.
Fact 1 About The Ocean
Less than 10% of the world's ocean, and less
than 50% of U.S. waters, have been mapped.
That's not very much coverage—and there's a lot
to explore there! Humans know more about the
physical and chemical properties of outer space
than about planet Earth's deep ocean regions.
The bottom of the ocean is anything but flat.
Fact 2 About the Ocean-What are 5 interesting facts about
oceans?
Water absorbs the red light of the color spectrum,
leaving the blue for us to see. 6) Sound travels
underwater 4.3x faster compared to air – this
makes determining direction of sound near
impossible for divers. 7) Half of the oxygen we
breathe is produced in the ocean. 8) Oceans help
keep Earth's climate habitable.
Fact 3 About The Ocean-What are 3 things we
learned from ocean exploration?
Exploring and mapping the oceans will help us fill
gaps to better understand planetary-scale
processes including tectonics and marine
hazards; energy, mineral and biological
resources; and other large-scale Earth systems.
Fact 4 About The Ocean-Why is 90% of the
ocean unexplored?
OCEAN EXPLORATION AND PRESSURE
In some ways, it's a lot easier to send people
into space than it is to send people to the
bottom of the ocean,” Feldman told Oceana.
“The intense pressures in the deep ocean make
it an extremely difficult environment to explore.
