Sub-Orbital Space Flights & Satellite Exploration
Bill Gates, co-chair and trustee of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and chairman of Microsoft Corp., presented the keynote address at dedication ceremonies for the Gates Center for Computer Science and the Hillman Center for Future-Generation Technologies at Carnegie Mellon University on September 22, 2009. Pittsburgh philanthropists Henry and Elsie Hillman also participated in the daylong celebration of the Gates and Hillman centers at Carnegie Mellon’s Pittsburgh campus. The newly constructed Gates and Hillman Centers contain classrooms, research space and offices for the School of Computer Science.

A supernova (pl. supernovae) is a stellar explosion that is more energetic than a nova. Supernovae are extremely luminous and cause a burst of radiation that often briefly outshines an entire galaxy, before fading from view over several weeks or months. During this short interval a supernova can radiate as much energy as the Sun is expected to emit over its entire life span.[1] The explosion expels much or all of a star’s material[2] at a velocity of up to 30000 km/s (a tenth the speed of light), driving a shock wave[3] into the surrounding interstellar medium. This shock wave sweeps up an expanding shell of gas and dust called a supernova remnant.

demonstrations.wolfram.com The Wolfram Demonstrations Project contains thousands of free interactive visualizations, with new entries added daily. The precession in the orbit of the planet Mercury (about 43 seconds of arc per century) was correctly explained by Einstein’s theory of gravity. This Demonstration exaggerates the effect by making the mass of the Sun around 10^6 times greater; also, you… Contributed by: Enrique Zeleny

[Recorded July 28, 2004] In January of 2004, two golf-cart sized rovers landed on the planet Mars to seek evidence about whether the environment there might once have been capable of supporting life. Originally intended to last 90 days and rover 600 meters, these two Mars Exploration Rovers, named Spirit and Opportunity, have far exceeded those expectations. Pete Theisinger, the Manager of the Mars Exploration Rover Project through its development, and now Manager of the 2009 Mars Science Laboratory Project, will describe the challenges of developing the two Mars Exploration Rovers in just three years. He will discuss the design process, relate the myriad challenges and setbacks that had to be overcome during development and operations, and give the definitive behind-the-scenes story of the extraordinary flight and surface operations of the Rover, including some glimpses into the mission’s scientific results.
