Using a C-RC system does not increase ...

We will not put a shield around a planet or Moon to keep an atmosphere. We may build large domes and fill them with an atmosphere. ---- Answer provided by John Spencer Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by Lonnie Schorer Image:9781894959421.jpg '''Buy This Book''' http://www.apogeebooks.com/Books/For%20Kids ...

Probably not the gasoline cars. These cars are designed for Earth; however, electric cars similar to the Toyota Prius™ can be modified for use on the Moon and Mars. ---- Answer provided by Bradley C.

... range, test range out into the Pacific Ocean , and they had target vehicles which were converted World War II piston-driven propeller airplanes as targets. There wasn’t any explosive charge ... control center essentially was teletype. The information from the tracking stations from the radars was converted to teletype language, teletype pulses, and sent on a teletype system. But part of the ... putting these big mirrors up there in space which would collect solar energy and either convert them at that point to RF Radio Frequency energy and beam that down, nobody like ...

... . "The state of man's technology in every age has depended on his ability to convert and control energy. The Industrial Revolution brought on an economic structure that could not be ... devices in the NASA program are the propulsion devices that convert chemical or nuclear energy to kinetic energy. The Nerva rocket engine converts nuclear energy to kinetic vehicle energy by passing liquid ... ° R and ejects it through a nozzle. In these devices we Will convert as much energy as is converted by the Grand Coulee Dam in a device about the size of an ...

... solar dynamic systems. Nuclear reactors have also been used on spacecraft, as have systems that convert the energy released by radioactive isotopes into electric power. Chemical power systems comprise the familiar ... spacecraft power system consists of a solar voltaic generator, incorporating solar panels to collect and convert the solar energy; chemical batteries; and the power regulation, control, and distribution system. The solar ...

... . In keeping with its 1986 agreement with the U.S. Air Force, Martin Marietta had converted 14 Titan 2 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) into space launch vehicles. The Air Force had used the converted missiles to launch weather and spy satellites into low Earth orbit; the first such converted missile launched in September 1988. The Titan 2 ... DMSP F16 satellite was the 13th of the 14 converted ICBMs to launch; the Air Force had no plans for the 14th converted ICBM except to hold it as a spare. The ...

... in Brazil and possibly in other countries? '''Biochemical Conversion ''' Biochemical technology can be used to convert cellulose and hemicellulose polymers that occur in biomass to their molecular building blocks, such as sugars and glycerides. Using hydrolysis, sugars can then be converted to liquid fuels. Thus, agricultural crops and residues, wood residues, trees and forest residues, grasses ...

... Florida to establish the feasibility of the electromagnetic wave energy-conversion (EWEC) concept. The EWEC converter used electromagnetic antennas to absorb the sun's electromagnetic radiation into an array of insulated ... antennae tuned to the proper frequency by nature's design. Once received, the energy was converted into electrical impulses. (NASA Release 75-102) During April-May: NASA conducted Atmospheric Variability Experiment ...

... generators, studying two different energy converters for each; define the satellites; study their cost; and determine potential environmental effects. One converter was to be a thermal engine converter like a steam turbine that transformed heat into a usable form of energy. The other, a thermionic converter, would produce electrically ...
