The Pros And Cons Of Strategis Space Exploration

678 Words3 Pages

There are many potential locations for the Strategis space settlement such as:
• Earth-Moon Lagrangian points,
• LEO orbit (Low Earth’s Orbit)
• GEO orbit (Geostationary Orbit / Geosynchronous Orbit)
• Lunar Orbit

1. Lagrangian points are marked positions where a body can be placed between two massive bodies and maintain its position due to their gravity. There are five Lagrangian points between the Moon: L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5.

L1, L2 and L3 are not some very good choices for placing the settlement because they have lack of stability. Although the advantages and disadvantages for L4 and L5 are different: ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Very good stability View to Earth is impossible
Many asteroids …show more content…

LEO (Low Earth’s orbit) is the closest orbit to Earth and it has the most satellites. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
It is the closest orbit to Earth It has a lot of space debris and old satellites that can cause damage to the ship
It has breathtaking views to Earth It doesn’t have asteroids enough close to the ship for us to exploit
LEO is inside Earth’s magnetic field and that helps a lot because we can have active shielding that is impossible to create It is very close to Earth, too close and the settlement can fall down on Earth without the needed energy
It is very close to Earth so we can communicate very easily and we can transport people and materials very easily

Due to all these good advantages that we have, LEO orbit it is a possible choice for placing the settlement, although because of the huge amount of mass that we have and because of the short distance to Earth, it will be very hard and expensive to keep the spaceship there, because without enough energy the spaceship can fall on Earth anytime.
3. GEO orbit is a circular orbit that is a little bit further than LEO and it is following the same direction as Earth. GEO has the same advantages and disadvantages as LEO, although GEO is a little bit further from Earth than …show more content…

So the settlement will not be placed in LEO or GEO orbits. The Lunar orbit, L4 and L5 orbits are still some very good possibilities for the placement.
If the settlement position will be in the Lunar Orbit, then Strategis will be built on the Moon by robots with materials extracted from asteroids and a few materials from Earth. After the construction will be finished, the settlement will be transported in the Lunar Orbit by its engines.
If the settlement will be placed in L4 or L5 the settlement will be built on the Moon as well and then transported to the location, although the distance will be much bigger.
The stability is better in L4 and L5 than in the Lunar Orbit, but they are both far from Earth and the Moon, although they are much closer to Earth than the Lunar

Using coordinates or simple objectives allows the ability to make proper determination. Geographic data allows identifiable information to be offered to subscribers with the encouragement of geographical indicators. Display tools offer a realism of visual effects and the most applicable advantages. Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, spatial statics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Systems of these nature offer geographers collaborative and analyzed information far more unique than traditional research techniques (Geographic Information Systems as an Integrating Technology: Context, Concepts, and Definitions,2015). Lastly, geographic reality and space relation must be gathered using input and output of data and formulaic sequences, but the tools make them applicable to user.

Because latitude and longitude refer to a specific location, absolute location can be described as the same thing (p.37-38). Absolute location helps people understand exactly where things are and majorly affect the culture of LA. Relative location, which shows where a place is in relation to another place, helps the native people of Louisiana know where things are located (p.37). Latitude and longitude also help mark political boundaries. Boundaries allow people to know where states or cities end and where another begins.

Have you ever thought about going into space? In the passage, “A Success In Space By Cameron Keady”, “Comet probe may shed light on Earth’s past”, there is a probe that is set to land on a comet called the Philae Lander. It will land on a comet and will take pictures of the comet, and dig up samples of its surface. The Philae mission was important for scientific research because it took photos and picked up samples, it could reveal secrets about the makeup of comets that we don’t know, and it could help us get better at landing probes on comets. First, it will dig up samples, take pictures, and take photos of the comet, which will help us learn more about comets.

Now that the Space Race is over, what is the point? Are we wasting our money? Should we cut their budget? When the cold war ended with the soviets in 1991, it sparked up a debate as to whether or not the funding for the National Aeronautics and space administration should be continued. Although it may seem like a simple fix, it has proved to be one of NASA’s greatest and most difficult challenges yet.

While reading Frances Halsband’s article “Campuses in Place,” I could not help but picture Iowa State University’s campus while he speaks of structures, roads, art sculptures, land, and what life is like living on and off campus. First, I was somewhat amazed at how passionate Halsband speaks of the campus life. I have never truly heard anyone bring up discussion topics about things like how the structure and location of a building is beautiful as this author does in his article. The one discussion that I do hear often that was mentioned is the map of the campus, and that conversation is typically about how far the building are from each other when going class to class. One thing that the author brings up is expansion of the campus and the

The Impact of Exploration Most people know the old rhyme of how Christopher Columbus “sailed the ocean blue in 1492.” At this point, it has become permanently engrained in my memory. However, not many people are truly aware of the motives for Columbus’ trans-Atlantic voyage. They are also not aware as to why such marvelous legends have been told of such explorers who “discovered” landmarks that were already discovered. The Journey of Columbus in 1492 may be the most famous of them all, but it was most certainly not the last one to that part of the world.

The scientific management theory is being considered as a continuous improvement even in the 21st century. The scientific management theory is used by managers to improve efficiency and productivity. Managers analyze the basic tasks that must be done, use time and motion studies to eliminate wasted motions, hire the best qualified workers for the job, train them in a proper manner and also paying wage incentives for the increased output. Scientific management encouraged managers to seek the “one best way” to complete a task. (Stoner, Yetton ,Craig, & Johnston, 1994).
