Problems with shaking by Sandra Stoklaskova

NASA has set a plan to send astronauts to the moon in March 2015. But this aim has a “tiny” problem, which is shaking of the rocket ,that hasn't even been built yet. The consequences of not solving this issue could be disastrous. This, yet, non existing rocket ,with the name Ares I, should replace the shuttle. And these times it is the main issue of NASA engineers, and also the subject of conversation of many people all around the world. Engineers are afraid that the rocket could shake dangerously during the first few minutes of the flight, and their aim is to fix this as early as March. As the NASA administrator Michael Griffin said in a statement to The Associated Press, that they never hoped to replace the shuttle without facing any challenges. The space agency's plan of returning to the moon includes two different rockets: Ares I, which is a means of transport to the moon, and heavy-lift cargo ship, known as Ares V. This goal would cost more than $100 billion, since 2005. The basics of the shaking problem, said Arenas, who is a specialist for vibrations and space-lunch issues, involves pulses of added acceleration caused by gas vortices in the rocket. The shaking was characterized by the NASA engineers as very dangerous and disastrous, that is why we just have to believe in them, that they will be successful.
