Lastly, the project manager’s performance is critiqued and comments made on how he could improve as a project manager. Introduction Introduction This paper will examine the challenges that Gary Allison faced as the project manager in the Orion Shield Project. There were many issues such as contractual, ethical, communication, technical, legal, structural, and training that played a role in the struggles of the project. The project was to improve NASA’s launch rocket booster’s structure. The paper discusses the situations Gary faced as project manager for phase one of the Orion Shield project.

HSC PHYSICS ASSESMENT TASK 1 SPACE EXPLORATION Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882-1945) When and where did they do their main work? Over the course of his lifetime Robert H. Goddard has contributed a great deal of knowledge, understanding, theory and practice to the development and evolution of modern day rocketry, earning him the title of “the father of modern rocketry”. Goddard was an American scientist who did most of his experiments between 1912 and 1945, until his death, in areas such as Massachusetts, where he was born, and also in Roswell, New Mexico, where he carried out a lot of his rocket launches, with several of his colleagues, like Clarence N Hickman. Goddard graduated from south high school in Worcester in 1904 and achieved his degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1908. He then began his graduate studies at Clark University, which is also where Goddard did some of his early, but significant work, testing theories through experiments and developing ideas about rockets, e.g., Goddard's pendulum experiment, which he used to measure the trust of a rocket.
The Challenger was a space shuttle of great experience. Before its last journey it had witnessed the first steps of man and the first woman on the moon. It was named after the British Naval research vessel that sailed the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean during the 1870’s. The Challenger certainly made its scientific contribution to the sense of exploration because the Apollo 17 also carried the name Challenger (Space Shuttle Overview: Challenger n.p.). The next and last journey of the space shuttle was on January 28, 1986 when the US Space Challenger broke apart seventy-three seconds after lift off.
Training is one of the most important factors in the selection of the crew for both missions being based on their background in Apollo 11 Neil A. Armstrong Commander, Michael Collins Command Module Pilot and Buzz Aldrin Lunar Module Pilot had a Bachelors of Science degree, assigned pilots on a Gemini mission and involve in services for the U.S. as pilots either on Air force, Navy or Military Academy (Jones). In another hand in Apollo 13 crew James A. Lowell, Jr. Commander, John Leonard Swigert, Jr. Command Module Pilot and Fred W. Haise, Jr. Lunar Module Pilot had been back up pilots for different missions also they have a Bachelors of Science Degree (E. M. Jones). Both of the crews for the Apollo missions had training the Commander with responsibility for the overall conduct of the flight operations, the Command Module Pilot for the command module systems and the Lunar Module Pilot for the Lunar Excursion Module systems. The majority of the training was conducted in flight simulators to create as nearly as the procedures for the mission, the simulators were controlled by computers into every part of the projection flight could be programmed to recreate the portion of the mission (H2g2 - Apollo Missions -

Cecily Thompson Prof. B POLS 231 10:00-10:50 28 September 2012 Mission 26: The Big Endeavor “Houston, we have a problem!” Tom Hanks said this statement in the movie Apollo 13, in which indirectly made Houston “Space City.” Though Houston has a great history when it comes to space exploration and shuttles, the decision to send Endeavor (OV-105) to the California Science Center was exciting but bittersweet. The Endeavor had 25 missions, all leaving Earth from Houston. Throughout all its missions Endeavor was pushing the limits and space exploration. Endeavor acquired its name from the first ship commanded by James Cook at 18th-century British explorer, who sailed into the South Pacific and around Tahiti to observe the passage of Venus
