Sustainability of Life on the Moon

Paper Topic: You are proposing to an international science agency for a mission to find life in our universe. You may propose a mission that involves humans and/or a spacecraft visiting a moon or planet in our solar system, or choose a mission that involves telescopes to observe distant worlds.

You paper/proposal MUST follow this format:

I. Introduction (~100 words)
A brief description of the mission stating its goals and overall objectives.

II. Destination (~1000 words)

A thorough description of the choses destination with a strong scientific argument for why this is the best destination to investigate.

III. Anticipated Outcomes (~1000 words)

A thorough description of the type(s) of lifeforms possible found in this destination with a strong scientific argument for why they would be found there and how they would survive in this location.

IV. Proposed Mission (~ 250 words)

A brief description of the type of vehicle required and the timeline of the mission, along with known risks.

IV. Conclusion (~100 words)

A summary of your argument for why this mission should be chosen.

Criteria for a successful paper:

A successful paper will be at least 2500 words and will follow the format above. It will include:

A coherent scientific argument that uses scientifically valid articles (from the Internet or journals) and many of the main concepts used in the course. These concepts might include: habitability zones, extremophiles, methods of searching for extrasolar planets, carbon-based life, planetary atmospheres, or many other concepts that are key to the search for life. Your paper should demonstrate your understanding of these concepts, not just the awareness of the terminology.
A clear organization and correct grammar to provide a readable and intelligent paper. It should be easy and pleasurable to read. This should include an introduction, conclusion, and the mandatory headers to help make clarify your argument.
Within this format, your paper should demonstrate individuality and creativity to show how you have digested and interpreted the information, and to show me it is your OWN work. Papers that read like a bunch of cut and paste text without any personality will be poorly graded.
A complete and consistent set of citations and references in APA, IEEE, or similar academic format. I don’t care which format you use, but be consistent and thorough.
Pride in your work. If you don’t love it, I won’t love it.

You MUST do original work. I will be very strict on anything that is copied from the Internet, purchased, or “borrowed” from another student’s paper – it is plagiarism. Don’t go there.

paper astronomy

Answer preview….

Astronomers have continued with the research on the habitable planets and this has created the need to focus on the changes taking place in the environment and the motivation towards answering the questions on the habitation of the planets. The assessment of the sizes of the planets and the need to focus on the velocities has created the need for the observation of the changes that help in focusing on the theories that surround the habiting of the planets. The mission is exploration for habitation and the goals and objectives surround the assessment of the uniqueness of the moon and plants and technology that helps in exploration……..
