Launch Vehicle
A launch vehicle is typically a rocket-powered vehicle designed to carry a payload (a crewed spacecraft or satellites) from Earth's surface or lower atmosphere to outer space. The most common form is the ballistic missile-shaped multistage rocket, but the term is more general and also encompasses vehicles like the Space Shuttle. Most launch vehicles operate from a launch pad, supported by a missile launch control center, launch control center and systems such as vehicle assembly and fueling. Launch vehicles are engineered with advanced aerodynamics and technologies, which contribute to high operating costs. An orbital spaceflight, orbital launch vehicle must lift its payload at least to the boundary of space, approximately and accelerate it to a horizontal velocity of at least . Suborbital spaceflight, Suborbital vehicles launch their payloads to lower velocity or are launched at elevation angles greater than horizontal. Practical orbital launch vehicles use chemical prope ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Earth Observation
Earth observation (EO) is the gathering of information about the physical, chemical, and biosphere, biological systems of the planet Earth. It can be performed via remote sensing, remote-sensing technologies (Earth observation satellites) or through direct-contact sensors in ground-based or airborne platforms (such as weather stations and weather balloons, for example). According to the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), the concept encompasses both "space-based or remotely-sensed data, as well as ground-based or In situ#Earth and atmospheric sciences, in situ data". Earth observation is used to monitor and assess the status of and changes in natural environment, natural and built environments. Terminology In Europe, ''Earth observation'' has often been used to refer to satellite-based remote sensing, but the term is also used to refer to any form of observations of the Earth system, including in situ and airborne observations, for example.

National University Of General San MartÃn
The National University of General San MartÃn (, UNSAM) is an Argentine public university whose main campus is located in the city of San MartÃn, Buenos Aires Province. The university was established in 1992, when the executive approved law number 2409 passed by Congress after years of bills presented and demands for creation dating back to 1990. The university launched officially its regular teaching activities in 1994. History The creation of the National University of General San Martin was enabled by two trends: the first, following a tendency initiated in the 1970s, decentralization of the largest universities in Argentina; and the second, following the desire of the local community of San Martin to establish a university in its own territory. This tension forged the initial identity of the institution, promoting the capacities and meeting the local demands, and responding to the vacant areas in the Argentinian university system. The first academic activities of undergr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
