Period 4 element be dangerous in large enough quantities due to its radioactivity. Nickel (Ni) is an element in period 4, between cobalt and copper. Nickel is rare in the Earth's crust, mainly due to the fact that it reacts with oxygen in the air, with most of the nickel on Earth coming from nickel iron meteorites. However, nickel is incredibly common in the Earth's core; along with iron it is one of the two main components. Nickel is an important component of stainless steel, and in many superalloys. Copper (Cu) is an element in period 4, between nickel and zinc. Copper is
CU Spaceflight offer to do so, hoping to raise the profile of engineering and aerospace in particular. During the 2007 Cambridge Science Festival, CU Spaceflight launched their Nova 5 balloon in front of a large crowd. CU Spaceflight CU Spaceflight is a student-run Cambridge University society founded with the aim of achieving cheap access to space. It is supported by the Cambridge-MIT Institute. The project was founded in the summer of 2006, with the specific goal of launching a rocket into space for less than GBP£1000. As of November, 2007, CU Spaceflight has launched five uncrewed high-altitude balloons, of which two were
