Raketa koja bi trebalo da proburazi kometu

Bice zanimljivo videti ovaj "vatromet", naravno, ako nam iko to omoguci :

MELBOURNE, Fla. (Reuters) - On a quest for the frozen remains of the solar system's formation, NASA is preparing to launch its Deep Impact probe that will smash a hole in a comet 82 million miles from Earth.

NASA plans to stage the collision of Comet Tempel 1 and the Deep Impact probe on July 4, and in order to put the projectile in the right place for the encounter, Deep Impact must be launched by Jan. 28.

The earliest NASA plans to attempt the launch is at 1:48 p.m. EST on Wednesday from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Scientists don't know exactly what will happen when the comet barrels into Deep Impact's 820-pound copper-tipped projectile at about 23,000 mph. The speeding comet is expected to be 82 million miles from Earth when the collision occurs.

They expect, however, a giant explosion -- equivalent to the energy released by 4 1/2 tons of dynamite -- and a gouge into the comet's surface that could be as big as a football field and as deep as a 14-story building.

"We put the impactor in the comet's path so that the comet overtakes it," said Rick Grammier, mission project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "It's like standing in the middle of the road with a semi-truck bearing down on you."

Added lead scientist and University of Maryland astronomer Michael A'Hearn, "There is an outside chance that we could break the comet. We don't think that will happen."

The comet is quite a bit larger than the projectile. Tempel 1 has an approximate radius of 1.9 miles, while the impactor spacecraft is about the size of a living room coffee table.

While the collision is expected to obliterate the impactor, two telescopes aboard Deep Impact's mother ship will monitor the crash, then fly by the comet for close inspections.

By probing below the comet's surface, scientists hope to learn about the conditions that existed more than 4 billion year ago when the solar system was formed.

Comets are believed to contain frozen remains from the solar system's early years.

"My interest in comets all along has been trying to understand the chemical composition," A'Hearn said.

"What we see coming out of comets as gas and dust is stuff that has been modified because it is very near the surface," he added. "Every time the comet goes around the sun, the surface gets heated. So there have been changes in the surface layers ... What I really want to do is figure out how different the surface is from what's inside."

Astronomers are organizing a world-wide comet watch during the mission to collect as much information as possible during the encounter. NASA also plans to train the Hubble, Spitzer and Chandra space observatories on the comet during and immediately after the collision.

ameri i njihova opsesija za vatrometom, petardama, explozijama i sl. sranjima koja ce nam kad-tad doci glave...

samo se setite onog marsovca koji je u crtacu hteo da unishti zemlju jer mu zaklanja pogled na veneru... e, sada nauchnici postupaju poput njega...

ali mislim da ce od ovoga najvishe profitirati vojna industrija...

mozda sam paranoichan, ali evo nama trke za shto boljim orbitalnim/svemirskim arsenalom :(

BTW Neo, dobro si mu rek'o! :>

Fali ti "Eludium-36 super..." :)

[fatboy]

btw, danas sam snimio na satelitskoj, ameri vec nesto unapred pominju

mogucnost vojne intervencije protiv irana jer ovi kao ne jebu njihova

upozorenja vezana za regulaciju nuklearnog naoruzanja....mmmm,

vidim li to jos jedno sranje na pomolu....

...uostalom, kao da ih onaj zemljotres prole godine nije dovoljno unesrecio... :(

ćale i ja smo posle iraka tipovali na siriju, no i u iranu ima nafte..

izvini nisam te chuo od petardi koje retardirani klinci bacaju u dvoristu svaki dan od 15og decembra pa evo i danas....

[watch:.]

ma luda nasa sta sve nece da izmisle

jbg. deshava se... zabaguje stranica itd. ae, trebao je neko da izbrishe...

[StormScion]

Kome mi pricamo da je opsednut explozijama i petardama etc

zar Iran nema one besne air2ship raketle, nesto tipa Mosquito (mozda i novija verzija, ne znam oznaku tachno) ruske proizvodnje?

mis'im, ne znam kako jedan usa carrier moze da se odbrani od jako brze raketle, ali kad bi im jedan potopili, djoku bi ih napali :D

[manson]

Da, ali za tu air2ship raketu, treba avion prvo da poleti, a ne verujem da ce amerikanci da im dozvole to :)

Ako nista, bacice im gej bombu :))) http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/01/17/arms.homosexual.reut/

[Lucky]

Snacice se Iranci, nisu ni oni za bacanje :}

[Ji 4Tze]

e zajeb, mislio sam na ground2ship, mada moze da se mount-uje i na brod i na avion...

evo reference..
