In the 1920’s Wernher Von Braun was a German teenager who dreamed of designing and creating rockets capable of reaching outer space. He spent his high school years participating in “Verein für Raumschiffahrt (Society for Space Travel)‚ which conducted experiments with liquid fuel rockets.” Following high school Von Braun joined the Nazi Party who capitalized on his expertise with aerospace engineering. He became

scheduling backlog pressures. Competition from the European Space Agency put NASA under pressure to come up with a space mission‚ which would hopefully shed light on the ability of NASA to plan commercialized space departures. NASA also had to prove that its program should continue to be funded; another unforeseen pressure pushing NASA to schedule its record number of Space exploration trips that year than in any other year. Also‚ the space shuttle mission scheduled before the Challenger had been delayed

End of The Space Shuttle Program; Beginning of The Future We have made much progress on our knowledge about what is beyond our atmosphere. We have put a man on the moon and have educated our society about our universe. We have built an international space station that allows human beings to live outside our atmosphere for years‚ researching and studying so that we may understand Earth in a much better way. We have learned so much about our world‚ and a lot of it is thanks to the Space Shuttle Program

The history of India’s interests in space science is as early as 1960s when a Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was formed by theDepartment of Atomic Energy. Subsequently the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was set up to develop space technology and its application to various national tasks. The development of India’s space technology and programme dates back to 1980 when it successfully launched its own satellite Rohini – 1 from Sriharikota Island. The nation then

Space Exploration: Apollo Missions Space has always interested me and I had a great desire to be an astronomer one day. That has since changed‚ but space is still something I love studying about. Thus this topic was an easy choice. For the Apollo missions‚ it was originally created by NASA to sent a ship to the surface of the Moon and also have it return back to Earth. This was a huge step not only for mankind‚ but for the technology of America in the space race against the SSSR. Some of the questions
