PDF-(READ)-Project Mercury: America in Space Series (America in Space Series, 1)

Project Mercury was Americas entry into the manned spaceflight program When the program began in 1958 the Soviet Union was far ahead of the US in the race for supremacy in space With immense effort and in record time NASA the newly created spaceflight organization developed a space transport system with orbital capsule and booster rockets They used it to send Alan Shepard on a first suborbital jump into space in May 1961 and in February 1962 to make John Glenn the first American astronaut to orbit the earth Nevertheless the Americans were beaten by the Soviets in the race to put the first man into space Project Mercury was however the foundation for NASAs later success in the race to the moon All Project Mercury missions are discussed including details on all craft and the astronauts involved Superb color archival images cutaways and plans are also included.

Elongations of Mercury. Mercury . moves around the Sun every 88 days in a rather eccentric orbit. As seen from the Earth, the angle between Mercury and the Sun at greatest eastern or western elongation can be as large as 28° (when Mercury is near aphelion) or as small as 18° (near perihelion). By contrast, Venus follows a larger, nearly circular orbit with a 224.7-day period. The angle between Venus and the Sun at eastern or western elongation is 47°.. The Totally Terrific T’s.

Introduction. . Mercury has an affect on everything. Between soil on land, and sediment in water, sediment contains more mercury from being in the contaminated water.  Mercury has a huge effect on organisms. When mercury from power plants goes into the air, the mercury falls from the clouds when it rains, and lands in water, on the ground, and pollutes everything. Mercury affects how quickly organisms move, and makes them less tolerant to diseases, or harmful things. Mercury affects many different systems throughout the organism's body. (Mercury and health). Symbol: Hg. Classified as a heavy metal (in red). Volatile and is a liquid at room temperature (boiling point at 300. o. C). Natural origins: volcanoes . Toxic: as Hg (vapor); methylmercury. USEPA Maximum Contaminant Level: 0.002 ppm in drinking water. Natural Sources:. Soils and rocks . Wildfires. Man-Made Sources:. Burning coal and medical waste. Manufacturing chemicals. Rain and snow wash mercury out of the environment and into oceans, lakes, and rivers.
