... at a really shallow angle will an oblong crater be formed. The force emitted downwards will compress and shock the underlying material, but there's really nowhere for it to go, with ... and outwards. Most of the big stuff will stay right near the crater rim, medium sized pieces may make secondary craters farther out, and lighter material may form lighter-colored rays radiating outwards from the newly formed crater. ---- Answer provided by Thomas Matula, Ph.D. & Kenneth J.

There are nine planets orbiting the Sun at various distances. It just so happens that the four smaller planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—are far different and much closer than the remaining planets which are relatively much farther away from the Sun. Thus, it is ...

In Martian winter, the poles are in continual darkness and the surface gets so cold that nearly a quarter of the ... atmosphere condenses into thick slabs of carbon dioxide ice. During Martian spring, when the poles are again exposed to sunlight, the ice turns directly into a gas without becoming liquid, creating ...

... contaminants around the Station was a factor in not selecting this concept for this application. There are several types of electro-thermal rockets, including resisto-jets, arc-jets, induction-heated jets, and ... high voltages or magnetic fields. There are many different types of electric thrusters. The electric power to operate these thrusters is currently provided by solar panels, and there are plans to someday use nuclear ...

... station would be a departure and arrival point to and from other points in space. There are two principle difficulties to be overcome to make this concept feasible. A material that has ... drives also are not within our current technical capabilities, but are not entirely ruled out by our current laws of physics. Who knows what some clever scientist may think of? There are many, many ...

There are a number of accessories on the spacesuit. There are lights attached to the helmet so that the astronauts can see in the darkness as ... four revolutions of the Earth. There is a video camera attached to the helmet so that flight controllers in Mission Control can see exactly what the astronauts are seeing. The suit has ... to carry the many tools needed for the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS). There is also a checklist attached to the forearm of the suit that the astronaut can ...

Yes, there are different sizes of spacesuits. Each astronaut is individually fitted with his or her own spacesuit. As some astronauts are tall, some are short, some are heavier and some are thin, each suit must be made to fit each person's body. There are no spacesuits for kids right now ...
