NASA
• In 1958 President Dwight Eisenhower Signed a public order creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a federal agency dedicated to space exploration
Later two national security programs were created:
• The first, led by U.S. Air Force, dedicated itself to exploiting the military potential of space
• The second, led by CIA, known as Corona, used orbiting satellites to gather intelligence on the Soviet Union

Russia• On October 4, 1957, a Soviet R-7
intercontinental ballistic missile launched Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite and the first man made object to be placed into the Earth’s orbit
Sputnik (stands for Traveler)
Competition is heating up
• Sputnik’s launch came as a surprise to America
• In the United States space was seen as the next frontier, and was crucial not to lose too much ground to the Soviets

In 1959, the Soviet space program took another step forward with the launch of Luna 2, the first space probe to hit the moon
The first man to orbit Earth
Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to orbit the Earth, traveling in the capsule-like spacecraft Vostok 1 in April of 1961
Yuri GagarinYuri Gagarin was a soviet pilot and cosmonaut; he was the first human to travel into outer space and completed an orbit of the Earth in 1961
Gherman TitovTitov, the second man to orbit the earth was the first man to take a picture and film from space. Gagarin did not take a camera with him on the first spaceflight, so Titov was the first photographer and first cinematographer of the cosmos.
The first woman in space
In 1963 cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova becomes the first woman in space
Venus 3• In 1965 Venus 3
was launched by the Soviets
• It became the first man made object to impact Venus on March 1, 1966
Tragic accident
• In January of 1966 chief engineer of Soviet space program Sergey Korolyov dies, thus putting Soviet Union a step behind in the Race
