Space Exploration

 

Facts About Space Exploration:

  • Uri Gagarin
    The first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, orbited Earth in the Vostro 1 spacecraft on April 12, 1961. 
  • Neil Armstrong
    Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon on July 21, 1969. 
  • Sputnik 1
    The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite, on October 4, 1957. 
  • Moon footprints
    The footprints of the Apollo astronauts will remain on the moon for millions of years because there is no wind or water to wash them away. 
  • Space smells
    Some astronauts have reported that the moon smells like wet ashes or spent gunpowder, and that space smells like burned steak. 
  • ISS
    The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth by moving "sideways" and falling towards Earth, while the horizon curves away at the same rate. This creates a feeling of weightlessness for those on board. 
  • Space travel
    Space travel requires complex calculations to "slingshot" from planet to planet. 
  • Space exploration benefits
    Space exploration provides a new perspective for studying Earth and the solar system, advances new technologies, and inspires a new generation. 
  • Space exploration methods
    Space exploration is conducted by human spaceflights and robotic spacecraft.

Space Exploration  also fosters international cooperation. Collaborative  efforts among nations in space missions promote diplomacy, build, trust and transcend geopolitical boundaries. The international space station (ISS) serves as a symbol of global cooperation, with astronauts from different countries working together How have people explored space??                             . Suborbital crewed spacecraft do not orbit earth because they do not reach the required speed and altitude. They spend only a short time in space                           . The first crewed suborbital spaceflights missions were NASA mercury project in 1961.                       .These missions included the suborbital flights of Alan B, Jr and  Virgil            ...

  Phobic Main article:  Exploration of Phobic The Russian space mission  Fobs-Grunt , which launched on 9 November 2011, experienced a failure leaving it stranded in  low Earth orbit . [ 40 ]  It was to begin exploration of the  Phobic  and Martian curcuma terrestrial orbit, and study whether the moons of Mars, or at least Phobic, could be a "trans-shipment point" for spaceships traveling to Mars. [ 41 ] Asteroids Main article:  Exploration of the asteroids Until the advent of  space travel , objects in the  asteroid belt  were merely pinpricks of light in even the largest telescopes, their shapes and terrain remaining a mystery. Several asteroids have now been visited by probes, the first of which was  Galileo , which flew past two:  951 Gaspar  in 1991, followed by  243 Ida  in 1993. Both of these lay near enough to  Galileo' s planned trajectory to Jupiter that they could be visited at acceptable cos...
