This week we talk about how sciences can weight a planet, discuss gravity, and the explosion of a military weather satellite while in orbit. Weather Satellite Explodes Ways to Measure Planetary Mass Geometric (size and density), this doesn’t always work well By triangulation and measurement of orbits of natural or artificial satellites. Gravity All stems from Newton’s Law of Gravitation. Which is really a controversy between Newton and Hooke. Gravitational constant based on the Cavendish torsion balance experiment. Measurement of the constant is difficult since it is small and we cannot measure outside of a gravitational field. With this and Kepler’s Laws, we can solve most simple problems by hand! Planetary Ranging A variety of ranging techniques can be used, including: Radio reflection Laser reflection Triangulation Fun Paper Friday THE ASTEROID REDIRECT MISSION AND SUSTAINABLE HUMAN EXPLORATION, Gates et al. This week we talk about capturing an asteroid with a bag and a pull string, or a spider like
