NEWEST DEVELOPMENTS IN OUTER

SPACE (EXISTING AND EMERGING)

Group D

Introduction• consists of a hard vacuum

• baseline temperature 2.7 kelvin (K)

• dark energy

• the Kármán line

• Outer Space Treaty

• Humans began the physical

exploration of space during the

20th century

• Earth orbit was first achieved by

Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union in

1961

Description

• modern concept is based on the

"Big Bang" cosmology

• Stars, planets and moons retain

their atmospheres by gravitational

attraction• cosmic rays• Space is a partial vacuum

Newest developments in outer space (existing and

emerging)

1) Inflatable space elevator idea

2) Asteroid impact early-warning

system's 1st telescope (ATLAS#1)

3) Gecko feet inspire climbing space

robots

4) Nasa finds closest earth twin (Kepler

452b exoplanet) yet in haul of 500

alien planets

5) Found 'young jupiter,‘ (51 Eridani b)

the smallest exoplanet directly seen

by telescope

Features / Advantages

Inflatable Space Elevator Idea

- reaches 12

miles (20 kilometers) above the

Earth's surface

- 30 percent

cheaper than the fuel required by

a conventional rocket

Features / Advantages

Asteroid impact early-warning

system's 1st telescope

(ATLAS#1) up and running

- one

day's warning for a 30-kiloton

"town killer"

- a week for a 5-megaton

"city killer’’

- three weeks

for a 100-megaton "country killer."

Features / Advantages Gecko feet inspire climbing

space robots

- could help

robots inspect and repair the

space station's exterior

- could

help astronauts to repair and

service satellites - could

help robots to grab space garbage

and try to clear it out of the way

- can support more than

150 Newtons of force

Features / Advantages Nasa finds closest earth twin

(Kepler 452b exoplanet) yet in

haul of 500 alien planets

- first possibly rocky,

habitable planet around a solar-

type star

- 60 percent wider/ 5

times more massive than Earth

- lies 1,400 light-

years away - possesses a

thick atmosphere, lots of water

and active volcanoes

- completes one orbit

every 385 days

- circles a

sunlike star that's 10 percent

bigger and 20 percent brighter

than Sun

Features / Advantages Found 'young jupiter,‘ (51 Eridani b)

the smallest exoplanet directly

seen by telescope - located

96 light-years from Earth in a

planetary system that may be much

like Earth's own solar system -

first exoplanet discovered using the

Gemini Planet Imager - only 20

million years old - glows from the

heat of its creation - twice the

mass of Jupiter

RecommendationsWild inflatable space elevator idea:

- Over expense in

launching rockets should be

reduced - reduce

excessive usage of fuel in rockets

- reduction of the price of

expensive rocket fuel

Nasa finds closest earth twin

(kepler 452b exoplanet) yet in

haul of 500 alien planets:

- think before committing

that the Kepler 452b is the most

reliable Earth like alien planet

DisadvantagesWild inflatable space elevator idea:

- odd design

Nasa finds closest earth twin

(kepler 452b exoplanet) yet in

haul of 500 alien planets:

- receives a similar

amount of 10% higher radiation

and this puts it in “not“ habitable

zone - stronger

gravitational pull -

potential runaway greenhouse

effect -

Kepler-452b is alone
