What Is A Space Launcher?

 HELLO GUYS, 


I will be defining to you what is a space launcher.





SPACE LAUNCHERS are rockets that carry payloads into space. Just as there are many sizes of truck to carry different goods from place to place, there are many different space launchers, each suited to different purposes. Rockets such as the Mercury- Atlas were designed to be small and light, as they only had to carry one man. Russia’s Soyuz series are incredibly powerful, able to carry 20 tonnes into a low – Earth orbit. NASA’s Saturn V was designed to be powerful enough to carry three men to the Moon.

The Book of Invention: The Jet Aircraft

Image
  In 1939, World War Two began in Europe. This war would last for almost five years. In Germany, Hans von Ohain designed and installed a completely new type of engine in an aircraft, an engine which would enable the aircraft to fly at a truly high speed. This was the first jet engine, pushed forward by air which was first sucked up and compressed, and the exhaust gases expelled at great pressure. Two years later, quite independently of von Ohain, an English engineer, Frank Whittle achieved the same results. But the first people to install the new motor in an aircraft were the Germans. Their Messerschmitt Me 262 , used during the last stages of the Second World War, gave the best performance.                 By the end of the War, jet engines had begun to be used in passenger aircraft, too. Now, people could fly at higher speeds and so complete their journeys within an unbelievably short time. Passengers tr...

How The Solar System Was Formed

Image
  Hello Guys , I will be telling how the Solar System was formed. Our Solar System formed from the force of an exploding star. When some stars reach the end of their lives, they can explode into a supernova, sending shockwaves of energy deep into space. Roughly 4.6 billion years ago, a shockwave from a supernova, travelling at 30 billion kilometers (19 million miles) per hour, hit a cloud of ice, dust and gas. The force of the impact caused the cloud to flatten and rotate. From the spinning disc, our Solar System began to form
