Summary Draft #2

-

The voyager 1 spacecraft launched in 1977 was used to explore the Jupitar and Saturn systems and capture scientific data before venturing into deep space. (JPL, n.d.). With the Spacecraft playing a crucial role in exploring the Jupiter system paving the way for further space exploration. Despite having technological limitations compared to the modern spacecraft like James Web Telescope, Voyager 1’s Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) provided valuable insights in research data. The ISS was used to capture the Jupitar and Saturn systems. In terms of features the system consists of two cameras, a 1500mm high-resolution narrow angle f/8.5 camera and a 200mm lower resolution wide angle f/3 camera. (SETI, n.d.) Equipped with 8 filters to allow coloured pictures, the high-resolution cameras allow scientific data collection such as atmospheric composition and coloured imagery to the planets. According to JPL the operations of the cameras are controlled by spacecraft computer which communicates with earth’s computer systems. Being launched in 1977, the spacecraft has since been improved on imagery such as the recent spacecraft known as the James Web Telescope using a near Infrared light camera instead of the slow scan vidicon cameras on the voyager. (JPL, n.d.)

Critical Thinking and Reflection

-
Module Learning: I have to be frank; I came into this module with no goals. Having taken multiple critical thinking modules from my previous educational institutions, notably ITE and polytechnic, I felt that it was unnecessary to do the module again. But as the weeks progressed, I realized that there are always new things to learn and take away, such as the Summary Reader Response. This was something that significantly changed my ideals from "I'm just going to slowly go through this module without learning anything" to "I'm going to learn and take something with me." This enabled me to keep a consistent pace with my other subjects, as my previous mentality was just to survive. According to Brad Blackstone (2024), learning only truly stops when you're dead. From this reference, I agree and should apply this to my mindset, as the critical skill I learned from this module is to always keep learning, no matter what.  With the 13th week approaching and the up...
