Britain put this technology to good use in its radar system for its air defense. Here, a set of signals generated from a range of coastal towers known as Chain were read with oscilloscopes. Edwards was involved in the production of components for these osci...
The pressurized cockpit creates a pressure differential between the cockpit and the near vacuum of sub-orbital space. This internal pressure pushing out on the structure of the craft allows the structure to endure the large forces acting on it during reentry. The cockpit is outfitted with dual ...
That would either one, make a vacuum in our atmosphere or two, make the air occupy the same space as the airfoil. boneh3ad says: May 19, 2016 at 7:05 pm The two frames of reference in question here are related by a simply Galilean transformation and are otherwise functionally identical...
if not for someone secretly slipping his very late application to the astronaut program into the pile wouldn’t have even been there (more on this in theBonusFacts later), climbed down the leg of a strange, spidery vehicle, stepped onto the...
GPS stands for Global Positioning System. We use this technology every day but how does it work and why was it invented? Here we explore this vital technology.
A light wave works in a similar way. Its speed depends on what sort of medium it's passing through. In the vacuum of space, light travels at top speed because there isn't any matter slowing it down. It has a harder time moving through an area filled with matter, such as the Earth...
How does GPS work? GPS relies on very accurate atomic clocks carried on the satellites. Each satellite emits signals that enable receivers to determine their location and time, according to the FAA. The receiver on Earth computes the time difference between the time of signal reception and the ...
How extreme is the environment? What do you need to consider before sending the camera, or anything, into space? At the peak of our flights, we're in a near-total vacuum, above 99.5% of the gas that makes up the Earth's atmosphere. The ambient temperature is around -65°C (-85º...
How does Lean Six Sigma work? Wrap-up Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology designed to eliminate problems, remove waste and inefficiency, and improve working conditions to provide a better response to customers’ needs. It combines the tools, methods and principles of Lean and Six...
Fig 3: How does a differential pressure sensor work? Tank Level Measurement using differential pressure measurement sensor. Absolute or Vacuum Pressure Transducer: This sensor measures the absolute pressure, which is defined as the pressure measured relative to a perfect sealed vacuum. Absolute pressure...
