The term hazardous waste is quite broad and deals with materials of all shapes and sizes. Biological waste, for example, such as blood or bodily fluids is one type of waste, albeit organic. Other substances and chemicals may also be considered just as hazardous, from something more simple like a cleaning solution or bug spray to more severe nuclear and radiation waste.
Astronauts go through months and years of training before they ever make it to outer space. This training teaches them how to survive in the harsh and sometimes alien environments that they encounter in orbit. All of this training takes place here on Earth — including preparation for living and working in zero gravity. How can astronauts learn how to live in zero-g while still under our planet's gravitational pull?
While many modern satellites are powered by onboard solar panels and batteries, most currently orbiting satellites required fuel. Each is equipped with enough hypergolic fuel to last throughout its entire mission, but what happens when these satellites run out of gas? NASA has come up with a solution: Restore-L.
Space travel brings out the kid in all of us. The sheer excitement of discovery ignites a wonder in us, and since space is one of the greatest unknowns, what better way to ignite that wonder than space travel? The only problem is, it’s virtually impossible at this point in time to reach these faraway places, which makes it tough to explore them.
