EXPLORATION TIMELINE

1900-a scientist named Tsiolkovsky started testing rockets, Russia was responsible for his project. He is known as the Farther of Russian

astronautics.1914- A scientist named Goddard patented the first rocket, even know it was a short trip the

rocket got up to 600 mph America was responsible for his invention.

1926-Goddard launches the first successful rocket America was responsible. Dr. Robert

Hutchings Goddard is considered the father of modern rocket propulsion

TIMELINE BEGINS

1930-V-2 spacecraft was made Germany was responsible. The real name for V-2 is ("vengeance

weapon 2")1944-V-2 spacecraft left Earth’s atmosphere from

Germany Today a V-2 is on display at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian

Institution in Washington 1954- Viking spacecraft reached 159 miles above

Earth The Viking were designed to take high-resolution images of the Martian surface,

characterize the structure and composition of the atmosphere and surface, and search for evidence

of life America was responsible.

1957-Soviet satellite, Sputnik, became the first manmade object to orbit Earth. Sputnik was

the world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a beach, America was where the satellite

was being watch.1961-The Redstone rocket lifted. The Redstone

booster has achieved a significant record of reliable flight in a launching history which

extends over the past years, the Redstone lifted off from America.

1961-Soviet Yuri Gagarin becomes the first space traveler to space from Russia.`

1967-Photograph of the moon taken by Lunar Orbitor. All five missions were successful, and 99% of the

Moon was photographed with a resolution of 60 m or better for the USA.

1969-Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. The Eagle has landed." The words of Neil

Armstrong, Apollo 11 commander and the first human to set foot on the moon, told tense and waiting

American scientist had finally reached the lunar.1971-Mariner 9 took pictures of Mars. Both were designed to be the first Mars orbiters, marking a

transition in our exploration of the red planet from flying by the planet to spending time in orbit around

it surface America was responsible.

1971-First space station, Salyut 1( ends orbit 1973)At launch, the announced purpose of Salyut was to test the elements of the systems of a space

station and to conduct scientific research and experiments America is who got the information.1972-Apollo 16 takes pictures of Earth Launched

16 April 1972Landed on Moon 20 April 1972

DescartesReturned to Earth 27 April 1972 in America.

1973- America launches the Space Station. America of course was responsible for the Space Station the Space

Station was located somewhere in America.1973-First US space station (Skylab). Skylab was a U.S. space station adapted from the third stage of a Saturn V1976-Images from satellites show martian soil-from first

US space probe to land on another planet, Viking 1.Soil examined by NASA's Viking Mars landers in 1976 may have contained carbon-based chemical building

blocks of life, told Phoenix.

1996- Mars Pathfinder landed on Mars and released the “Rover "Mars Pathfinder used an innovative method of directly entering

the Martian atmosphere, assisted by a parachute to slow its descent through the

thin Martian atmosphere and a giant system of airbags to cushion the impact1998-First Modules of the International

Space Station launched (2 countries)

1979- Skylab shows the image of the sun’s corona Skylab's coronagraph observations coupled with

x-ray pictures of the inner corona helped establish the origin of the corona's varied forms and the important connection between coronal

holes and high-speed streams in the solar wind. 1981-The first reusable shuttle, Columbia was launched from the USA On April 12, 1981, a

bright white Columbia roared into a deep blue sky as the nation's first reusable Space Shuttle.
