Activity Time
The same kind of idea powers NASA's giant satellite dishes. These
antennas listen for signals from planetary spacecraft currently exploring
space far from Earth.
Of course, no spacecraft actually communicates by sound. The messages
won't go very far, because sound waves can't travel through the vacuum of
space!
But spaceships emit radio waves, which can travel almost endlessly. Those
satellite dishes don't look much like the sound cone, do they? But the path
of the radio signals as they reach the disk looks like a folded cone.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES BY NASA
In this generation, space is a common and interesting topic that attracts many children towards it.
How about pursuing this profession further in life? Many people are not aware of the job
opportunities that NASA offers to these extraordinary children. Today, I'll talk about the jobs
which you guys can look towards to if you're interested in space
Many people think that NASA is just a group working for astronauts, however, NASA is more than
astronauts. There are scientists, engineers, IT specialists, human resources specialists, accountants,
writers, technicians, and many other kinds of people working together to break barriers to achieve the
seemingly impossible.
PHOTOGRAPHER:
Photographers at NASA take photos at many stages of a
space project to document its progress. This is called
Astrophotography which consists in taking photographs of
celestial bodies, such as stars, planets, comets, star clusters,
and galaxies, or events such as eclipses, and transits, among
others.
Meteorologist:
Meteorologists are atmospheric scientists who prepare
weather forecasts based on observations of the weather
and climate. The technology they use in their forecasts
includes weather balloons, satellites, radar systems and
computer programs that can analyze weather data and
create simulated weather predictions.
Computer Engineer:
Computer engineers design, test and develop the computer
hardware
and other systems NASA uses. This can include the
computer systems NASA uses to observe space, such as measuring
an activity and collecting data, or the hardware researchers,
scientists, and other engineers use.
Logistics Manager:
A logistic manager provides leadership and oversight
for agency-wide logistics material asset management
to meet NASA scientific, aeronautics, and space
exploration mission requirements. Logistics Manager
Department is NASA's “corporate office” that
develops innovative logistics policies, and processes.
