Launching of NASA

Established in October 1,1958

After world war-II there was a cold war between USA and RUSSA.

A broad contest was there among aligned and nonaligned over space. That this field became space race.

American president declare the International Geophysical Year (IGY) for the period, July 1, 1957 to December 31, 1958.

Soviets launched Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite as its IGY entry.

It had pearl harbor effect on Americans, and this thing produced stimulus to work in Aeronautics field.

NASA started many mission after its creation and within twenty years it has set many missions like

Mercury’s single astronaut program

Project Gemini two astronauts

Robotic mission to the Moon

Aeronautics research

Remote-sensing Earth satellite

Application of satellite in communications

Early Spaceflights

Mercury Spaceflight

On May 5, 1961, Alan B. Shepard Jr. became the first American to fly into space

An effort to learn human survive in space

Gemini Spaceflight

This was built on mercury’s flight experience

Built for two astronauts,10 flights provided NASA more information regarding space.

During Gemini 4, on June 3, 1965, when Edward H. White, Jr., became the first U.S. astronaut to conduct a spacewalk.

Going to the Moon - Project Apollo

NASA achievements involve human exploration to space in early years.

But after Soviets success in space project Apollo became their first and high profile project.

to make this dream real NASA spent 11 years on this project and it demand $25.4billions .

NASA had to face many crises and financial problems. But they bounced back with great revolution

In on December 24-25, 1968, when its crew read from the book of Genesis, was another crucial accomplishment on the way to the Moon.

That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil A. Armstrong uttered these famous words on July 20, 1969, when the Apollo 11 mission

Five more successful lunar landing missions followed.

The Apollo 13 mission of April 1970 attracted the public's attention.

17 mission of December 1972, NASA completed a successful engineering and scientific program.

Space Shuttle

After a gap of six years, NASA returned to human spaceflight in 1981.

Demonstrating that it could take off vertically and glide to an unpowered airplane-like landing.

NASA is poised to return to flight aim in summer 2005 with the STS-114 mission. There are three Shuttle orbiters in NASA's fleet ◦ Atlantis,◦ Discovery ◦ Endeavour

Atlantis Shuttle orbiters

Toward a Permanent Human Presence in SpaceFor permanent stay in the space NASA established its space base

An initial effort in this area was NASA's Skylab program in 1973.

In 1984, Congress authorized NASA to build a major new space station as a base for further exploration of space.

Russian experience

Russian join NASA as international partners to build an space facility that kwon as International Space Station.

International Space Stationis a artificial satellite

in low Earth orbit

whose first component was launched in 1998

Now the largest artificial body in orbit

The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory

Module Length: 167.3 feet (51 meters)

Truss Length: 357.5 feet (109 meters)

Solar Array Length: 239.4 feet (73 meters)

Mass: 924,739 pounds (419,455 kilograms)

Habitable Volume: 13,696 cubic feet (388 cubic meters)

Pressurized Volume: 32,333 cubic feet (916 cubic meters)

Power Generation: 8 solar arrays = 84 kilowatts

Lines of Computer Code: approximately 2.3 million

Aeronautics The goal of the Fundamental Aeronautics Program is to achieve technological

capabilities necessary to overcome national challenges in air transportation including reduced noise, emissions and fuel consumption, and increased mobility through a faster means of transportation.
