Jessica Brothers discusses key technological advancements that have expanded human knowledge of space. The telescope, satellites, and the Space Race between the US and Soviet Union in the 1950s-60s helped develop new technologies. Future goals include building a space colony in orbit, new spacecraft, and continued scientific experiments on the International Space Station. Advances in space technology will help uncover more mysteries and greatly impact life on Earth.

This is an all-ages presentation on the roles of robots and astronauts in space exploration and on how anyone can explore space with the help of a computer through web sites and free downloadable software such as Stellarium (planetarium program, www.stellarium.org) and Orbiter (space flight simulator, www.orbitersim.com). When I do this presentation, I typically present live demos of Orbiter and Stellarium, but I also have a number of supplemental slides at the end showing screen shots of the many things you can do with Orbiter.
I have presented this talk as a volunteer NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador and as a member of the Aldrich Astronomical Society in Central Massachusetts.

SPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR MANKINDVishal Pandey
The space age started with the launch of first Russian satellite Sputnik 1 on 4 October 1957.Ever since,the rocket powered launch vehicles carried state of the art scientific equipment to explore moon , the sun , solar system and the cosmos. This resulted in designing and fabricating the instruments having more than 6000000 components with reliability greater than 99.9999%. In 1960s man landed on moon and in 1970s the planetary exploration continued the space march. The comet Halley, which orbits the sun in about 76 years was photographed from a distance of about 500 kms in the year 1986. The success of launch and recovery of Space Shuttle made the space just another location in 1980s. This opened a variety of new vistas of science and technology.

Searching for Intelligent Life on Other Planets is a Goal Worth PursuingNick White
Abstract
For centuries, humans have tilted back their heads and gazed upon the heavens in wonder. What’s out there and are we alone in this universe? This paper addresses the need for humans worldwide to continue our search for life on other planets, and argues that it is our natural instinct to discover new worlds, much like the early explorers of the 15th Century. The paper covers the leadership role of SETI, as well as the projected funds for such missions. Themes from fields like astrobiology, economics and motivation will be considered and analyzed from a neutral standpoint. This paper will entertain the notion that we may, in fact, be alone in this universe. Aside from the money, the interest and the people advocating for the extra-terrestrial search, this paper will also address the mathematical probability of life existing in our galaxy, using the famed Drake Equation, contemplating the “habitable zone,” and even looking at evidence of life already found. The paper concludes, explaining why the search for intelligent life on other planets and our universe is a worthwhile goal.
2. Proficiency 2- I can identify key technological advancements that helped in making our knowledge of space expand. My research will show the past, but I will also predict what future advancements may stretch our limits even more.
4. The Telescope The telescope was introduced to astronomy in 1609 by an Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei Galileo’s telescope was similar to a pair of opera glasses, it used glass lenses to magnify objects However, his design provided limited magnification… He could only see a quarter of the moon’s surface without having to movehis telescope In 1704, Sir Isaac Newton came up with his new design of the telescope. He used a curved mirror instead of glass lenses. That way it could gather light and reflect it back to a point of focus. The telescope that Newton designed led to magnifying objects a million times beyond what could ever be discovered with a lense.
5. 2. Satellites For many years, humans have been putting satellites into orbit around Earth The many satellites that have been put into orbit provide communications, broadcast television and radio signals, and help scientists predict weather. There are more than 8,000 artificial objects orbiting space and more than 2,500 of these are satellites, alive or dead.
6. The Space Race The Space Race grew after World War ll, the Cold War pushed through the Space Race. The United States and Soviet Union raced to achieve dominants of space technology and exploration.
7. The Space Race Timeline Key dates: October 4th, 1957- Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1- the first artificial satellite. ICBM- Intercontinental Ballistic Missile November 3, 1957- The Soviet Union launches the first animal in space January 31, 1958- The first American satellite Explorer 1 was launched into space April 12, 1961- Yuri Gagarin is the first man in space (Soviet Union) May 5, 1961- Alan Shepard was the first American in space May 25, 1961- JFK made a famous speech to Congress- America will have a man walk on the moon by the end of the decade March 18, 1965- The Soviet Union had a man walk in space June 3, 1965- Ed White was the first American to walk in space July 20, 1969- Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon(Michael Collins)
8. After the war ended, the Russians and United States decided to form a space station together. Both countries had great technologies in the Space Race and when they formed together, their ideas made even greater technologies.
9. Just think… What would it be like if the Space Race didn’t occur? Would we have as much knowledge of satellites and different technology as we do today? Would an astronaut have walked on the moon yet? These are all very good questions to think about and we will never know. We are just very lucky that we do know a lot already, and there is more to be discovered.
10. Personally, I believe that without all of the technologies we have today the United States would be far behind on discoveries in space today. Without the Space Race the intelligent ideas of the Russian’s along with the United States’, would have never been combined to make one huge space station. Without our space station we wouldn’t have been able to capture as much information.
12. The world will be making new developments in space. For the United States, the goals are to create a colony based in orbit, military, and build new spacecraft.
13. Colony The United States is working on placing a space station Freedom in orbit around Earth. Freedom is expected to live for three decades. It will also orbit around Earth every 90 minutes. The United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and ESA (European Space Agency) will help the space stationby providing smaller laboratory units. The goal that NASA has is to conduct experiments to test the effect of microgravity on many different materials and living things in space.
14. I think there are many new space technologies coming our way soon and way in the future. I think these technologies will help us uncover the many mysteries about space. I believe once the mysteries are conquered, the amount of technological advancements will be huge and deeply affect the lives of people on Earth!
