Shuttle Endeavour is ready to start on March 11

NASA managers on Friday accepted the start on of space shuttle Endeavour on March 11, the first of three missions to the International Space Station to move a giant Japanese laboratory. condition there are no last-minute delay, the journey will come back and turn into the fastest game of missions since NASA reestablished his pitch, two and a half years after the Columbia will be destroyed upon reentry into the atmosphere in 2003.

Another Space Station on build

The International Space Station is individual build on the American STS and the different Russian missions. It is projected that in 2004 the station starts to operate with 100% of their installed communications"

A FRESH RESIDENT IN SPACE

The first journey with a vision to structure the International Space Station was held on November 20, 1998, in that month a Russian rocket Proton was launched into space and located the Zarya Control Module in orbit, Zarya, then, was the first component of the ISS to be placed in space.

Russian Space station MIR property was felt

The previous International Space Station (ISS), the Russian MIR property was built by the Soviet Union and its fall on Earth was scheduled in 2001 over the Pacific Ocean, which is the only way to financial and corporal power to finish that station. "

THE FIRST STEP

The first step of the International Space Station began in 1995 and involved only travel to the then existing space station, Mir, Russian ownership.

The International Space Station on Tour

The International Space Station(ISS) is the first station or man spacecraft interested in space that was a tourist, the tour price was 20 million U.S. dollars and the visitor's name was Denis Tito U.S. citizen"

Donations

The countries that are providing technology infrastructure either as in the "know how" is 16; here are the relationships of these with links to relevant space agencies:

Increasing time of the Space Station course International

The international Space Station (ISS for short) begins to be built in 1998. Although it has now been 14 years since the start of its construction it has no definite date of completion as new technologies allow more devices to their development.

The scheme of ​​structure a space station was conceived in the early 80's when America learned about building a similar platform by the then Soviet Union. It was not until the mid 90's the United States finally achieved a coherent technically and economically, it required the cooperation of other countries each of which contribute to the best of the technology that had, was well as reached agreements with 15 countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America.

Good omens in the search for antique life on Mars

Structure in the meteorite ALH 84001.The tiny piece of carbon found in meteorites from Mars were formed by the cooling of volcanic emission, were not left there by ancient space germs. This is good news and bad news for astrobiologists.

The discovery in 1996 of carbonate structures in the meteorite ALH 84001, which traveled from Mars to Earth 13,000 years ago, was hailed at the time as evidence that extraterrestrial microbes have ever lived on the Red Planet. However, further studies of both the carbonate structures as tiny bits of macromolecular carbon (MMC) in the meteorite cast doubt on those claims.

Jupiter

This is the biggest planet in our solar system; its group is double that of the other planets mutual. Because of this Jupiter cause visible change in their peers in the solar system particularly on Mars, Saturn and largely asteroids and comets.

The destruction of the planet is about 1/16 (so-called dynamic flattening) it is connected to the high speed of revolution. The Jovian revolution period is the straight in the entire solar system and although not all parts turn at the same average speed is 10 hours. In 1961 there was a variation on this for more than a second.
