Space Race 1957-1975

International Geophysical Year In 1952, the International Council of Scientific Unions decided to establish July 1, 1957, to December 31, 1958, as the International Geophysical Year (IGY) because the scientists knew that the cycles of solar activity would be at a high point then.

International Geophysical Year In July 1955, the White House announced plans to launch an Earth-orbiting satellite for the IGY. USA had the U-2 Spy Plane and was not initially worried about a Soviet advance into space. The Sputnik launch changed American Plans.

Sputnik October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a beach ball. It took 98 minutes to orbit the earth. Its launch marked the start of the space race.

Sputnik Sputnik surprised the world and caught the Americans off guard. With the launch, Americans feared Soviet missile capabilities. One month later, Sputnik II was launched, carrying a dog named Laika. Laika was killed in the process. Stelka and Belka were aboard Sputnik 5. Stelka later had puppies, one of which (Pushinka) was given to the family of President Kennedy by Nikita Khrushchev.

America Reacts January 31, 1958, US launches Explorer I—discovers the Van Allen radiation belt. March 17, 1958, US launches Vanguard I—establishes that the earth is pear shaped. July 29, 1958—NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) was established.

Men (and Women) in Space Yuri Gagarin—April 12, 1961 First Person in Space and Orbit Alan Shepard—May 5, 1961 First American in Space John Glenn—Feb. 20, 1962 First American to orbit the earth Valentina Tereshkova—June 16, 1963 First Woman in Space

American Space Program Project Mercury (1959-1963) Mission: One-man crew Project Gemini (1962-1966) Mission: Two-man crew, extra-vehicular activity (space walks) Project Apollo (1961-1972) Mission: Three-man crew to the moon

The Moon Mercury and Gemini programs readied astronauts and technologies, and built up the American space program. Apollo 8—first lunar orbit Dec. 21, 1968 Apollo 11—first landing on July 20, 1969 Apollo 17—last lunar landing Dec. 1972

End of the Race Cold War Thaws—Détente 1970s Joint Mission: Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, July 1975 3 American Astronauts 2 Soviet Cosmonauts

End of the Race Space Stations Space Shuttles Satellites International Cooperation Space Shuttles 1981-2011 Satellites Commercial, Military, Private, etc. Communications, Navigation, Information, Surveillance, etc.
