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 - completes one orbit every
planet around a solar-type star 385 days -
- 60 percent wider/ 5 circles a sunlike star that's 10
times more massive than Earth percent bigger and 20 percent
- lies 1,400 light-years away brighter than Sun
- possesses a thick
atmosphere, lots of water and
active volcanoes
 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
 Disadvantages Recommendations
Wild inflatable space elevator idea: Wild inflatable space elevator idea:
- odd design - Over expense in launching

Nasa finds closest earth twin rockets should be reduced -

(kepler 452b exoplanet) yet in reduce excessive usage of fuel in

haul of 500 alien planets: - rockets - reduction

receives a similar amount of 10% of the price of expensive rocket

higher radiation and this puts it in fuel

“not“ habitable zone - Nasa finds closest earth twin

stronger gravitational pull - (kepler 452b exoplanet) yet in
potential runaway greenhouse haul of 500 alien planets: -
effect - Kepler-452b is think before committing that the
alone Kepler 452b is the most reliable
Earth like alien planet
