Technology has been part of our lives and it helped us enrich our lives and create a better place to live in and ensured a safer environment. The advanced technology helped us achieve a lot of great invention and guided us to look into the sky . We started looking into visting other planets and install new technologies in space that helped make our lives much easier . But to get to space we need to manufacture space crafts that will carry us to new heights and enable us to reach new things . To manufacture a space craft there are a lot of techniques and specifications that need to be considered and met , in addition the techniques changed over time . A space craft is a special kind of vehicle equipped with a lot of equipment that make it functional in space . “Every space craft has to have some essential system some of those systems are the Maintaining the life of those abroad it felt very safe , the advancing technology in that will help to make the space a commercial destination in the future for ordinary people who have money and got board of the entertaining destination on earth. For the other objective it is mainly concerned with the detailed study and the deep understanding of the planets and the objects around us which will enable more discoveries and may find evidence of some life in the future .( space craft technological development has started long time ago , one space craft , the space probe has been created in early 20 century . it carried machines and equipments to space , beyond the earth orbits, and it was unmanned so it did not carry people into space , it helped discover more facts and increased information about orbits and objects far into space , there was many of this space crafts depending on the goals of it . Always to make the project successful the space craft designers and engineers should be able to answer some question like how far can the space craft go and where can it get you , how safe does it get you to there , and how can it get you back . Space probe is uniquely engineered , it is consists of the work of a lot of systems together there is the craft itself and the place where it is launched and the launching equipments , it is a state of art how those system are compactable with each other and how they work perfectly with each other . This kind of space crafts has helped enrich te knowledge over the years about new things in space and so new technologies with the same concept has emerged for example NASA has lately came up with a new project that help figure out the reason for a series of probe failures that have gotten to space without really being able to achieve some goals and were very expensive .There was a lot of failures around mars .Exampe of such crafts were the mars polar lander and the the mars orbiter these were a huge blow to the system and the expectation after those two took a big blow. Mamlook 4 of 11 But some of the adjustment made by the program (the discovery program ) which included less expenses and more expeditions gave everybody a lift when one probe was able to get near mars and do its job , so new ways of approaching such planet and so there is new planning in the future of sending more missions and space crafts to gain more in depth insight into possible finding a much bigger evidence of possible life on mars and other places and so NASA had planned some new probs to go there . Some of those probes Going back to space technology aspect of space crafts , well there are many things that the space craft should be equipped with a lot of essential things but since there is the weight limitation , companies and organizations that need to satisfy that yend to use micro technology .space micro technology is very big part of what NASA and other space programs do , there devices should be power efficient and able to withstand stress and pressure at space high altitude , new material has been added to the manufacturing procees of such unique devices .Some devices ha
ve been supplied with micromechanical functional devices that can sense the ultimate temperature and any condition so it will help visualize how the mission will be and so then determining if there is going to be unnecessary load that will help to decrease the payload which means less weight and less expenses Absollutley there are drastic changes in technology and manufacturing a space craft for exploring purposes or a space craft that carryies crew to the space stations and the outer space , there a lot of differences one is that of the safety measurement that need to take place , it is not the same to carry people or equipment , for people you try to fight hard to save there lives and bring them safely but when you have an unmanned air craft that is in danger , you would weight in what to do and what action you may take on , do we leave it or try hard to save it , another thing is the complexity of the design is more in manned space crafts since that would mean life support and places to live in should be very well done so the people who will be working in space would refer to their space craft for reenergizing purpose and going to work again, manned crafts are most of the time expensive . Mamlook 5 of 11 One manned craft example can be seen in Apollo space craft which was an American space craft and the Soyuz which was of the Russianians , both of them were designed to take humans to the moon. . Apollo space craft consisted of three parts which are the service module ,the lunar module and the command module . on the other hand The Soyuz is consisting of three things as well : the vehicle ,the service module and the orbital module . The Apollo space craft it had a main objective of getting people into the moon , basically the crew with be taken to the moon being allowed to walk on the moon and use the equipments to collect valuable info and then return safely to Earh.the crew was able to live and perform the work in a very high quality environment inside the craft , the lunar module was able to move two astronauts to the moon from its orbit . for the service module was a place to keep the systems needed for maneuvering ,running the space craft in the outer space . There was 11 manned flight that happened using Apollo and this space craft was the first to get to the moon, there were 6 stops on the moon through the whole life of this space craft ,it had the ability to take 2 astronauts there on each trip. For the Soyuz it had a lot of goals and objective that were among sending people and crew into space but at the end things took a turn and the space craft was sent multiple times to space to achieve a whole different goals some of which were send it and have it in space for some time to act like an orbiting space station On the other side for unmanned space crafts ,there were a lot of them that were sent to space over the years with different missions and from different destination all over the planet, funded from different parties , examples of such space crafts were the Magellan probe and the Cassini-Huygens. The manned space craft had many different equipment that helped work and improve discoveries and also some of those equipments were expensive and the budget was somewhat open and things were more sophisticate and more ambitious since most of those space crafts were expected to come back , make good use of their information that they took in space and then give them the option to reuse the space craft more than once with maintains and service given to it in between. On the other hand unmanned crafts were having some budget limit and equpments were not expensive nor the best onces were included in it because they knew that these space crafts may never return or are designed to not return. In addition to all the space crafts that are developed there are a lot more of technological things that helps maneuver the space and creates Endless possibilities for creating better environment and live more happily.
