The history of India’s interests in space science is as early as 1960s when a Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was formed by theDepartment of Atomic Energy. Subsequently the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was set up to develop space technology and its application to various national tasks. The development of India’s space technology and programme dates back to 1980 when it successfully launched its own satellite Rohini – 1 from Sriharikota Island. The nation then

Beginning in the late 1950s‚ the Space Race was a pivotal time for scientific development in both nations it involved‚ The United States of America and the Soviet Union. Initiated by the Soviet launch of Sputnik 1‚ the two nations commenced the race in a frenzy of advancements‚ yielding as a byproduct‚ functional technology for present day use. To what extent has technology originating from the Space Race been developed for widespread use in present day United States? In this investigation two of

SPACE EXPLORATION & TECHNOLOGY Traveling through space and exploring the unknown has been an unquenched curiosity of mankind’s since the beginning of time. Students of all ages‚ in schools throughout the world‚ are becoming more involved in researching space. They are following the current progress of space exploration‚ and discovering the learning possibilities that come from traveling through the last frontier. "Space Exploration" is an interdisciplinary unit combining multiple disciplines

First‚ I will explain how the actions of the USSR started The Space Race. Next‚ how the United States developed NASA and eventually landed the first man on the moon. Finally‚ the technologies that were developed for space travel and have now become household items we all use in everyday life. In the 1950’s‚ America was in an upswing. After the victory in WWll‚ the economy was rapidly expanding‚ the baby boom had begun and Levittown was built as an example of suburban living. In a different part

defined by Webster. Since the age of the Greeks‚ Anglo-Saxons have been interested in space exploration. From Copernicus to Gaileo to Newton‚ space has been looked upon with adoring eyes. Space has been regarded time after time as the final frontier. That was until 1957‚ with the launch of the Sputnik-1‚ when the Soviet built satellite became the first man-made satellite successfully launched out into outer space. In 1958‚ the United States matched the Soviets with their own satellite‚ Explorer III

technological advances would be the space program. Without the technology gained from our space program‚ all the other items would have never happened or would have taken a lot longer to be developed. It all began in the late 1950’s with the launch of the Russian satellite Sputnik. Prior to that most Americans assumed that the United States was superior to all other countries when it came to technology. With Russia apparently becoming the leader in space exploration‚ Congress passed the National
