NASA otestovala novú raketu by kristina leskova

NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration v preklade národný úrad pre letectvo a vesmír je americká agentúra zodpovedná za americký kozmický program. NASA vznikla v roku 1958. Nedávno vykonala prvý testovací let so svojou vesmírnou raketou. Prototyp vesmírnej rakety vzlietol až v stredu, čo bolo neskôr ak osa pôvodne plánovalo a to kvôli nepriazni počasia. Raketa odštartovala na Floride, kam prišlo množstvo ľudí, aby sledovali tento obrovský úspech. 327 stôp dlhú raketu označenú ako Ares IX si m! 4;žeš predstaviť ako veľkú bielu ceruzku. Tento krát však na palube neboli žiadni pasažieri ani náklad. Cieľom bolo sledovať jej štart a pozorovať, či všetko funguje tak, ako má. Tento testovací let stál 445 miliónov dolárov. NASA to považuje za veľký krok smerom vpred. Je to po prvý krát za takmer 30 rokov, odkedy z Kennedyho vesmírneho centra vzlietla ďalšia raketa. Ares je jedna z najvyšších rakiet, ale najvyššou bola Saturn V s dĺžkou 363 stôp. Celý let trval len dve minúty. Ale potrvá niekoľko mesiacov, kým experti dokážu analyzovať všetky dáta zaznamenané senzormi na rakete. Po štarte sa podarilo otvoriť padáky a časť rakety padla do Atlantického oceána, kde už na ňu čakali lode. H! orné časti rakety padli nekontrolovane do oceán! a a nepr edpokladá sa, že by boli nájdené. Celý proces, ktorý sledovalo množstvo ľudí, trval dokopy len šesť minút. NASA je pomerne optimistická a tvrdí, že raketa Ares by už v roku 2015 mohla vyniesť astronautov na medzinárodnú vesmírnu stanicu. Lenže experti sú opatrní a vo svojej správe, ktorú adresovali prezidentovi Barrackovi Obamovi, uviedli, že to bude možné až neskôr, až okolo roku 2017. Manažéri NASA očakávajú, že sa naučia veľa nového z tohto testovacieho letu a v súčasnosti majú pred sebou kopu práce.

NASA tested new rocket by kristina leskova

NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration is American agency responsible for space program. NASA was established in 1958. Now it made first test flight with its moon rocket. The prototype moon rocket took off on Wednesday; it was later than was planed because of bad weather. The rocket started in Florida where many people came to watch this success. 327-foot Ares IX rocket could be imagined as big white pencil. This time it did not carry any passenger or payload. The aim was to watch the start and observe if everything works. This testing flight cost 445 million dollars. NASA said that this is a huge step forward. It was first time in nearly 30 years that a! new rocket took off from Kennedy Space center. Ares is one of the tallest rockets, but the tallest was Saturn V with 363 feet. The whole flight lasted only two minutes. But it will take few months to analyze all data that were recorded by the sensors. After the start the parachutes were open and part of the rocket fell into Atlantic Ocean where ships waited. The upper parts of rocket fell uncontrolled into the Ocean and these parts will not be found. The whole process that was watched by many people took only six minutes. NASA is very optimistic and claims that Ares rocket will be able to carry the astronauts to International Space station in the year 2015. But the experts sent a report to president Barrack Obama where they said that this will be able later, in the year 2017. NASA managers expect to learn a lot from this testing flight and now they have a lot of work.

Isto kako i Fred, Rik isto taka beše prikažan kako uragan od Kategorija 3, spored skalata na Safir-Simpson. Iako ne postoi sigurnost kade točno kje udri uraganot, povekjeto meteorolozi smetaat deka toa kje bide oblasta na Los Kabos.

Rick periculosul by Claudia Sonea

Toate avertismentele se dovedesc a fi adevarate. Bulerinul NHC-ului prevestise o toamna cu ploi abundente si de o multime de uragane si pana acum, totul s-a petrecut in conformitate cu previziunile lor. Dupa ce ne-am bucurat ca uraganul Fred si furtuna tropicala Linda nu au provocat daune, acum exista o posibilitate alarmanta ca Rick sa loveasca uscatul. Conform celor mai recente rapoarte acesta este unul dintre cele mai puternice furtuni din Pacificul de Nord din ultimul deceniu. US National Hurricane Center a anuntat ca guvernul din Mexic a emis un avertisment de uragan pentru sudul Bajei California si ca partea continentala de ve! st a Mexicului este monitorizata de asemenea. Uraganul Rick se asteapta sa ajunga in sudul Bajei California cel tarziu marti, ceea ce ii determina pe experti sa isi faca griji, cu toate ca puterea uraganului va slabi in acest timp undeva intre 109 si 86 mph. La fel ca Fred, si Rick a fost etichetat ca un uragan de categoria 3 pe scara Saffir-Simpson. Desi nu exista nici o certitudine in ceea ce priveste zona in care uraganul va lovi, cei mai multi meteorologi cred ca va fi regiunea unde este situat Los Cabos. Desi deznodamantul furtunii se astepta sa aiba loc miercuri, autoritatile au anuntat ploi abundente si vant puternic in urmatoarele zile in sudul Bajei California si vestul coastei centrale a Mexicului. Atentionari speciale au fost emise pentru surferi si pescari, dar vor fi avertismentele luate in considerare? Probabil ca nu, dupa cum turneul de pescuit Bisbee a lui Los Cabos nu a fost amanat si surferii au scris deja pe forumu! ri exprimandu-si dorinta de a stapani valurile. National Hurri! cane Cen ter va mai posta un alt buletin in cursul acestei dupa-amiezi, pentru a informa publicul si face apel sa se pregateasca in cazul in care exista chiar si cea mai mica posibilitatea ca Rick sa loveasca uscatul. Daca se intampla sa traiti in zonele mentionate mai sus, nu uitati sa va aprovizionati cu alimente si baterii, lanterne, corzi, pungi de plastic, imbracaminte pentru vreme rea, dar, mai important inainte de toate, gasiti un loc sigur de adapost (recomandabil ar fi fara ferestre). Aveti grija si ramaneti conectat, va urma....

Dangerous Rick by Claudia Sonea

All warnings prove to be true. The NHC Advisory forecasted a Fall with heavy rains and a lot of hurricanes and by now, everything happened according to their predictions. After rejoicing that the hurricane Fred and the Tropical Storm Linda didn’t cause any damages, now there is an alarming possibility for Rick to get to hit land. According to the latest reports it one of the strongest North Pacific storm in more than a decade. U.S. National Hurricane Center announced that the Government of Mexico issued a hurricane watch for southern Baja California and that the western mainland of Mexico is monitored too. Hurricane Rick is expec! ted to reach southern Baja California by late Tuesday, which determines the experts to worry, although the strength of the hurricane will weaken by that time to somewhere between 109 and 86 mph. Just like Fred, Rick too was tagged as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Although there is no certainty where the hurricane will hit, most meteorologists think it is the area where Los Cabos is situated. Although the denouement of the entire situation is expected to take place on Wednesday, authorities announced heavy rains and strong winds during the next couple of days in the southern Baja California Coast and the west central Coast of Mexico. Special warnings were issued for surfers and fishermen, but would the warnings be taken into consideration? Probably not, as Bisbee's Los Cabos fishing tournament was not postponed and surfers are already writing on forums expressing their eagerness to hit the waves. The Natio! nal Hurricane Center will post another advisory at later on th! is eveni ng, keeping the public informed and advising to prepare just in case there is even the smallest possibility for Rick to hit land. If you happen to live in the areas mentioned above, don’t forget to get food supplies and batteries, flashlights, rope, tarps, plastic bags, bad-weather clothing, but more importantly find a safe place to shelter (advisable would be a place without windows). Take care and stay connected, more to come….
