This document provides an overview of the Cold War space race between the United States and Soviet Union from the late 1940s to late 1960s. It discusses key events and figures, including the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union in 1957, which kicked off the space race. Both countries aimed to demonstrate the superiority of their political-economic systems through achievements in space exploration, such as the Soviet Union's launch of the first satellite and the United States' landing of astronauts on the moon. The space race continued throughout the Cold War period until the Soviet Union's collapse in the late 1980s brought an end to superpower tensions.

His assistant was Werner von Braun
22. Wernher von Braun
World War 2
• German rocket scientist, designed V-2
rockets.
• V-2 rockets carried warheads (missiles)
against enemy targets.
• Worked on 140 different missiles including
cruise missiles and radio controlled missiles.
• Several V-2 rockets and documents were
lost to the United States, the production
plant at Peenemunde went to the Soviets,
and the remaining legacy of the V-2 went to
France and Great Britain.
23. The Rocket Program
•
Soviets were familiar with rockets and
used rocket-artillery units on the Eastern
Front.
• Reopened Peenemnde as a rocket test
center and assigned East German
scientists, engineers, and factory workers
to work on rockets and missiles.
• Their rocket program was lead by Sergei
Korolov and they improved on the already
advanced German V-2 rocket missiles.
• 5 years after WW2, they had nuclear
bombs, ballistic and long range missiles,
while developing powerful rockets - a
high threat to the United States.
In August 1957 they launched the world’s
first intercontinental ballistic missile. A
news agency reported that “no part of
the earth is too far away: strategic air
forces are obsolete.”
•
Rocket and missile programs were
military sponsored.
• Missile ranges for testing were built in
New Mexico, California and Florida.
• The Air force established a program
called Project Paperclip whereby
German scientist and engineers could
come to the U.S to live and work on
improvements for the V-2 rocket. This
team had 82 members including
Werner Von Braun.
Ultimately, the military relied upon
bombers to deliver their conventional
and nuclear weapons and thus had a
under developed rocket program in
comparison to the Soviets.
25. Soviet Union Leads the Race
Them Bitches
The Sputnik 1 Satellite
– October 4, 1957
• Soviet Union launches the first manmade satellite into space.
• Begins the Space Race
• 184 pounds
• Orbits Earth every 96 minutes and
transmitted radio signals for 21 days.
• Important propaganda victory for the
Soviet Union and their leader, Nikita
Krushchev.
• Many Americans viewed the Sputnik as
a symbol for delivering nuclear
weapons.
26. Sputnik 2: First Crew in Space
• Launched November 3,
1957
• several compartments
for radio transmitters, a
programming unit, a
temperature control
system for the cabin, and
several scientific
instruments
• 1 person crew - Dog
named Laika. (FYI, he’s still out there)
27. American Pride
The achievements of the Soviets were blows to
American national pride and raised questions
about its presumed supremacy in science. The
American space program developed rapidly after
the Sputnik launch and transformed the National
Advisory Committee on Aeronautics into the civil
National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Aviation was now aerospace and the race was to
see who’s achievements went out furthest.
28. John F. Kennedy
• John F. Kennedy was the President
of the United States at the time of
the Space Race and was very
involved with it.
• "I believe that this nation should
commit itself to achieving the
goal, before this decade is out, of
landing a man on the Moon and
returning him safely to the
Earth….We have a long way to go
in the space race. We started late.
But this is the new ocean, and I
believe the United States must sail
on it and be in a position second
to none.”

back to earth.
36. End of the Cold War
• 1985 - Mikhail Gorbachev = Soviet Premier (Communist Party Secretary,
Head of State).
• He began a program with two major changes:
– Glasnost: political openness (freedom of speech and of the press)
– Perestroika: economic restructuring (citizens can own their own
business)
• Caused:
– greater freedom of speech- publications and individuals could say
what they thought without fear of arrest
– political prisoners were released, since their “crimes” of speaking
against the government were no longer illegal
– inflation skyrocketed and black markets flourished
– multi-party elections began
• 1989 Gorbachev repudiated the Brezhnev Doctrine.
• 1989 = “Year of Miracles.”
37. “Collapse of the Soviet Union”
• Communist Party in the Soviet Union lost a majority in the elections
in June 1991.
• Boris Yeltsin – elected as Head of State in the newly renamed
“Russian Soviet Federated Soviet Republic.”
• September 6: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania declared
independence.
• December 1: Ukraine declared independence
• By December 8, 1991 all 15 republics of the “former Soviet Union”
were independent.
• On December 26, 1991 the USSR was officially dissolved and…THE
COLD WAR WAS OVER!
