Some satellites have cameras which take photographsof the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are alsoused to connect our international phone calls.Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11, 000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10－12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.【解题导语】卫星不仅在科学探索方面起着重要作用，而且在我们的生活中也起着非常重要的作用。

MODULE 5 The Conquest of the UniverseThrough all of our history we have pondered the stars and muse whether humanity is uni que or if, somewhere else in the dark of the night sky, there are other beings who contemplate and wonder as we do, fe llow thinkers in the cosmos. Such beings might view themselves and the universe differently. Somewhere else there might be very exotic biologies and technologies and societies. In a cosmic setting vast and old beyond ordi nary human understanding, we are a little lonel y; and we ponder the ultimate significance, if any, of our tiny but exquisite blue planet. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is the search for a generally acceptable cosm ic context for the human species.In the last few years—in one-millionth the lifetime of our species on this planet—we have achieved an extraordinary techno logical capability w hich enables us to seek out unimaginably distant civilizations even if they are no more advanced than we. That capability is called radio astronomy and involves single radio telescopes, collections or arrays of radio telescopes, sensitive radio detectors, advanced computers for processing received data, and the imagination and skill of dedicated scientists. Radio astronomy has in the last decade opened a new window on the physical universe. It may also, if we are wise enough to make the effort, cast a profound light on the biological universe.Some scientists working on the question of extraterrestrial intelligence have attempted to estimate the number of advanced technical civilizations—defined operationally as societies capable of radio astronomy—in the Milky Way Galaxy. Such estimates are litter better than guesses. They require assigning numerical values to quantities such as the numbers and ages of stars; the abundance of plane tary systems and the likelihood of the origin o f life, which we know less well; and the probability of the evolution of intelligent life and the lifetime of technical civilizations, about which we know very little indeed.在我们人类历史的长河中，我们观察过星球，思考过人类是不是唯一的,或者在黑暗夜空的某个地方，是否还有其他像我们一样观察和思考的人类，他们也是宇宙中的思想者。

Module 5 The Conquest of the Univers单元小结In spite of all our advanced technology, the world is still at the very beginning of its voyage into space.In the 1950s, China set out to explore space. In 2008, millions of people turned on the TV to witness Chinese first space walk. It was really a historic event, which had a great impact on space exploration. At the same time, China set out its lunar exploration program. Many programs are underway. In the last decade, China, our great motherland, has made a series of achievements. Chang'e­2 satellite has sent back several pictures of the moon's surface. The surface of the moon is not similar to that of the earth, which is consistent with scientists' previous expectation.Based on human beings' dream, a series of fiction novels and films appeared. Many of them are based on the assumption that the aliens from other planets will invade our earth. The aliens' invasion can make the earth destroyed. All of them are very scary and dramatic.即便我们掌握了现在的全部先进技术，我们这个世界依然只是处于太空旅行的起步阶段。
