Jessica Brothers discusses key technological advancements that have helped expand human knowledge of space. The telescope, introduced by Galileo Galilei in 1609, allowed for magnification of celestial objects. Later telescope designs by Isaac Newton used curved mirrors to gather and reflect light, enabling million-fold magnification. Satellites, first launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, now provide communications, weather monitoring and more. The Space Race between the US and Soviet Union led to major milestones like Sputnik, Yuri Gagarin becoming the first person in space, and the moon landing. Future predicted advances include space colonies in orbit and new spacecraft to further exploration.

The future of NASA and other space progams: what's next?AllaireT
NASA - a short history, current projects, industry privatization and future projects. Discussion question: Is where the industry going a good direction? Would it have been more worthwhile to keep the focus on scientific endeavors versus the commercial direction we are currently headed?

If we ask you what’s so special about October, you will probably say “Halloween”. Although we too love spooky decorations, toffee apples and trick-or-treaters’ tireless knocking on the door after dusk, there is more this month to remember and celebrate.
Here is October in historic space dates, famous astronomers’ and astronauts’ birthdays and upcoming events.
Happy October!

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.

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 reposition his telescope In 1704, Sir Isaac Newton released 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 together made even greater technologies.
10. 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.
11. Colony The United States is now working on a tiny colony in orbit, the space station Freedom. Freedom is expected to live for three decades, orbiting around Earth every ninety minutes at a distance of 220 miles. The United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and ESA (European Space Agency) will help the colony by providing smaller laboratory units. The goal of NASA is to conduct experiments to test the effect of microgravity on many different materials and living things.
12. 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!
