Golf has been the story of a Russian astronaut hit a golf ball of the Earth's orbit.
Golf record
One small step for man, one giant leap for golfers as a cosmonaut hit a golf ball into space. It is planned months in advance. Russian cosmonauts have decided that they wanted
an attempt to record golf and hit a golf ball into Earth's orbit, and November 23, 2006 was just that, what the history of golf.
Golf balls in space
When there is no golf ever gone before in space. It is almost certain that a golf ball, they will not, and who knows where foreigners pass on ownership of what they make it? It is expected that the golf ball, the astronaut and Russian flight engineer Mikhail Tyurin, will travel millions of miles during its orbit. Tyurin hit the golf ball after standing on a ladder by the docking port of the ISS during a spacewalk.
The trajectory of golf ball
The ball trajectory through space, a golf course record for the longest drive ever. The ball was struck in gold golf clubs made from the same scandium alloy used to build the space station and is expected to orbit the Earth for four years. The golf ball the way of millions of miles are tracked using global positioning transmitters as it loses altitude through atmospheric drag. Finally, dissipate heat and when it reappears in the atmosphere.
Risks
Hitting golf balls in space is not without risk. Some experts are concerned about the cascade can katastrofisch, and you do not know if it was worth the risk of the golf ball stunt was sponsored by a golf equipment in Canada. Risk is the golf ball can be dropped at the station and collided with it later. Orbital Debris Expert magazine New Scientist for the stunt that the worst case, the ball hit the station side. She said that may be considered a collision with a speed of 5.8 miles per second with a six-ton truck will be at 60 miles per hour.
Space Challenge
The key to the success of the flight of golf balls was the proper angle and direction of the astronaut to the station. Every golfer knows the best of times, hit a golf ball can be harder than it looks, and wearing a space suit is certainly contributing to the challenge.
Golf on Mars
It is partly in the interest of a ball struck with a stick, but golf is a great sport on Earth, and played and loved by millions maybe if life on Mars, they make a few balls Golf around KicKing.
