ENTRANCE INTO SPACE
Riyad BAKHSHIYEV
• WHY DO WE EXPLORE SPACE?
• HISTORY OF SPACE SHIPS AND SHUTTLES
• TODAY AND FUTURE
Why Do We Explore Space?• Because it’s there• Quest for knowledge• Learn about what is around us – dangers, benefits, natural resources
- Reap benefits of what’s around - Reap benefits of preparing for / undertaking exploration itself – technology and techniques- Survival
• Quest for understanding - learn about ourselves and our place in the universe
HISTORY OF SPACE SHIPS
AND SHUTTLES
JULES VERNE
• He wrote about space, air, and underwater travels before air travel and practical submarines were invented
1828 - 1905
• French author who pioneered the science fiction genre
KONSTANTIN TSIOLKOVSKY
1857 -1935
• Imperial Russian and Soviet rocket scientist and pioneer of the astronautic theory
• Known for his rocket equation
• His works later inspired leading Soviet rocket engineers such as Sergey Korolyov and Valentin Glushko and contributed to the success of the Soviet space program.
WERNER VON BRAUN
1912 - 1977
• German-American rocket scientist, aerospace engineer, space architect
• During World War II, led theV-2 project
• Led the U.S. Army team thatlaunched Explorer-I, first U.S. satellite
• Built the Saturn V booster that carried Apollo to the Moon
SERGEY KOROLEV
1907 – 1966
• Soviet rocket engineer and designer
• Father of the Russian space program
• In the early 1930s he metTsiolkovsky and devoted himself to spaceflight
KERIM KERIMOV
1917 - 2003
• Azerbaijani-Soviet/Russian aerospace engineer, rocket scientist
• One of the founders of the Soviet space industry, and for many years a central figure in the Soviet space program
THE SPACE RACE
The first Soviet program was called Vostok (“East”).
The first American program was called Mercury
SPUTNIK I
The world's first artificial satellite, launched on October 4, 1957
EXPLORER I
The first artificial satellite of USA
February 1, 1958
NASA
On July 29, 1958 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was established in USA
ANIMALS WENT FIRST
The Soviet Union launched a dog named Laika. The dog died in space 10 days later.
Americans used chimpanzees & monkeys: Enos, Ham, & Sam
FIRST MAN IN SPACE
Yuri Gararin was the first human to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961.
1934-1968
Yuri Gararin
FIRST AMERICAN MAN IN SPACE
1923-1998
Alan Shepard NASA astronaut who in 1961 became the second person, and the first American, to travel into space with spacecraft Freedom 7

GOAL OF USA
On May 25, 1961 John Kennedy announced the goal of landing a man on the Moon in the speech to a Joint Session of Congress
APOLLO MISSIONSThe Apollo missions were a series of space missions flown by NASA between 1961 and 1975. They culminated with a series of manned Moon landings between 1969 and 1972.
Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first humans, Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on the Moon on July 20, 1969.
Since Apollo missions NASA has launched 135 Space shuttles and space shuttle programs.
HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation.
TODAY AND FUTURE
EXPLORATION GOALS FOR TODAY • Study Earth from Space to advance scientific understanding and meet societal needs
• Improve prediction of climate, weather, and natural hazards
• Discover the origin, structure, evolution, and destiny of our universe and search for Earth-like planets
• What happened during the Big Bang? How were stars and galaxies created? What happens at the edge of a black hole?
GOALS FOR FUTURE
Return to the Moon!
GOALS FOR FUTURE• 2018 – Humans for week-long stays• Next: 45-day stays at outposts
GOALS FOR FUTURE
Mars 2030
