What if ISS(International space station) stops working

-
The International Space Station (ISS) is a marvel of modern technology and a symbol of international cooperation. It has been continuously occupied since 2000, with astronauts from around the world living and working on the station for months at a time. But what would happen if the ISS were to stop working?

First and foremost, the safety of the astronauts on board would be of paramount concern. The ISS is the only habitable spacecraft currently in orbit, and if it were to malfunction, the astronauts would need to be evacuated as soon as possible. NASA and its international partners have plans in place for such an emergency, including the use of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft docked at the ISS, which can be used as a lifeboat to bring the astronauts back to Earth.

Beyond the immediate safety concerns, the loss of the ISS would be a significant setback for many areas of space science. The ISS is used for a wide variety of research, including studying the effects of microgravity on the human body, developing new technologies, and observing the Earth and the cosmos. The station is also home to many experiments that cannot be conducted on Earth, such as growing crystals in microgravity and studying the behavior of fire in space. The loss of the ISS would mean the loss of these research opportunities and the data they have produced.

Another impact of the loss of the ISS would be on international cooperation. The ISS is a collaboration between NASA and multiple other space agencies, including those of Russia, Europe, Canada, and Japan. It serves as a symbol of what can be accomplished when countries work together towards a common goal. The loss of the ISS would be a blow to those efforts and could potentially strain relations between the participating nations.

So, what would happen if the ISS were to stop working? It would be a difficult and dangerous situation for the astronauts on board, a setback for scientific research, and a blow to international cooperation. However, it's important to note that the ISS is supported by multiple redundant systems and it's continuously monitored by ground control team, it's extremely unlikely that the ISS would completely stop working. In case of any emergency, the ground control team is well-prepared to handle the situation, and NASA and its international partners would likely work together to find new ways to continue to conduct research and explore space.

In conclusion, the International Space Station is a vital and unique platform for scientific research and international cooperation. The loss of the ISS would be a significant blow to many areas of space science and international relations, but it's important to remember that the ISS is well-maintained, and if any emergency situation arises, NASA and its partners are well-prepared to handle it.

Image
Aim:-  To determine the value of Stefan's constant. Apparatus:-  Black body radiation unit, Ammeter, Voltmeter, connecting wires, DC source. Theory:-  Stefan's constant: A physical constant denoted by  σ , is the constant of proportionality in the Stefan's-Boltzmann law- the total intensity radiated over all wavelength increases as the temperature increases Procedure:- 1) The electrical connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram. 2) Copper black body radiator is preheated to  30 0 C   by setting maximum voltage in the power supply 3)after the temperature indicator indicates a temperature of about    30 0 C , the voltage is reduced to some value  4) increase the voltage in steps of 0.2 V and note down the current, hence calculate power l. 5) Determine the value of Stefan's constan t. Observations:-  Room temperature t o =t+273=......of 2) surface area of the black body  A=4π r 2  = .........m square Calculati...

Pre-Emphasis & De-Emphasis Networks

Image
Aim:-  To draw the frequency response of Pre-emphasis & De-emphasis networks. Introduction:- Educational trainer a useful kit for the demonstration of Pre-emphasis & De-emphasis at different time constants & plot the graph of the frequency response of Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis networks. The kit consists of 200 Hz-20 kHz audio oscillator 70µ sec & 50µ sec De-emphasis networks.  Pre-Emphasis Circuit Diagram:- DE-Emphasis Circuit Diagram:- Theory:- Pre-emphasis refers to boosting the relative amplitudes of the modulating voltage for higher audio frequencies from 2 to approximately 15 kHz . De-emphasis means attenuating those frequencies by the amount by which they are boosted.  However, Pre-emphasis is done at the transmitter and De-emphasis is done in the receiver. The purpose is to improve the signal-to-noise ratio for FM reception. A time constant of 75µ sec is specified in the RC or L/Z network for Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis. Tabular colu...
