Chinese Used Rockets in Battle In 1232 AD the Chinese used rockets against the Mongols An arrow with a tube of gunpowder produced an arrow of flying fire

Historical Discoveries Johannes Kepler In 1609 discovered that the paths of the planets around the Sun are elliptical Determined the relative velocity of a planet as it travels around the Sun as well as a method for determining its period (the amount of time it takes to make one orbit) Proved that our Sun was the center of the solar system Kepler’s platonic solid model of the solar system from Mysterium Cosmographicum (1596)

Isaac Newton In 1687 published a book that stated his basic laws of motion – these govern the movement of objects on Earth and in space Formulated a universal law of gravitation that explains the orbit of objects around stars and planets Was a pioneer of calculus, which is a type of mathematics critical for space flight Historical Discoveries Sir Isaac Newton

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky In 1903 determined the basic equations of rocketry Rocketry visionary who thought space travel was possible Drew pictures of rockets and predicted how the Saturn V rocket would operate for the first landing of humans on the moon 65 years later Historical Discoveries Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was a Russian rocket scientist and pioneer of cosmonautics.

Dr. Robert Goddard The Goddard Space Flight Center was named in honor of Dr. Robert Goddard, a pioneer in rocket development. By 1926 Goddard had constructed and successfully tested the first rocket using liquid fuel. Historical Discoveries

German Rocket Experimenters

Rocket Engine The development of the rocket engine in the 1940s and 1950s provided us with the necessary thrust to break free of the Earth’s gravity and thus enter space.

USSR launches Sputnik 1 Sputnik 1 The Russians launched Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, on October 4,1957. Sputnik traveled 500 miles above the Earth’s surface, flying at 18,000 miles an hour. Sputnik circled the globe every 96 minutes. It flew over the U.S. seven times a day.

USA launches Vanguard March 1958 Americans successfully launch a man- made satellite.

USSR – Yuri Gagarin First person to orbit the earth April 12, 1961 Demonstrated that the Soviets were ahead in the space race with the U.S.

USA – John Glenn First American to orbit the earth Completed three orbits on February 20, 1962, aboard Friendship 7

USSR – Valentina Tereshkova First woman in space First “ordinary” person in space Textile worker and amateur parachuter who became a cosmonaut June 1963 spent 71 hours orbiting Earth 48 times in capsule Sea Gull

First Manned Mission to the Moon First Landing on the Moon Kennedy’s Speech May 25, Years Later... Apollo 11 July 20, 1969

Manned Spaceflight Space shuttle - a re-usable rocket vehicle with short wings that allow it to land on a runway like an airplane.

Manned Spaceflight Space stations - intended for long- term residence International Space Station (ISS)

Unmanned Spaceflight Satellites that observe our Sun, the solar system, or the universe Satellites that observe the Earth from above for scientific, military, and commercial purposes Satellites that sample their local environment Satellites used for the benefit of humanity Spacecraft that are not tied to Earth's gravitational field but explore other planets
