Artificial Satellites
SPUTNIK – the 1st artificial
satellite to orbit the Earth
Animals used 1st in
space travel.
LAIKA the dog
As little was known about the impact
of spaceflight on living creatures at
the time of Laika's mission, and the
technology to de-orbit had not yet
been developed, there was no
expectation of Laika's survival. Some
scientists believed humans would be
unable to survive the launch or the
conditions of outer space, so
engineers viewed flights by animals
as a necessary precursor to human
missions.
On January 31, 1961, Ham was
secured in a Project Mercury
mission labeled MR-2 and
launched from Cape Canaveral,
Florida, on a suborbital flight.[6]:314315 Ham had his vital signs and
tasks monitored using computers
on Earth.[7] The capsule suffered a
partial loss of pressure during the
flight, but Ham's space suit
prevented him from suffering any
harm.[6]:315 Ham's lever-pushing
performance in space was only a
fraction of a second slower than
on Earth, demonstrating that tasks
could be performed in space.[6]:316
Ham's capsule splashed down in
the Atlantic Ocean and was
recovered by a rescue ship later
that day.[6]:316 He only suffered a
bruised nose.[7] His flight was
16 minutes and 39 seconds long

International
Space Station:
Hubble Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. It was launched by
NASA in 1990. Hubble is the length of a large school bus. It weighs as much as
two adult elephants. Hubble travels around Earth at about 5 miles per second.
Hubble faces toward space. It takes pictures of planets, stars and galaxies.
Hubble has seen the birth and death of stars. It has seen galaxies that are billions
of light years away. Hubble has also seen comet pieces crash into the
atmosphere above Jupiter.
Scientists have learned a lot about space
from Hubble pictures. The pictures are
beautiful to look at, too.

Now what?!?
The Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS)
program began in 2006 with the purpose of creating
commercially operated unmanned cargo vehicles to
service the ISS. The first of these vehicles, SpaceX's
Dragon, became operational in 2012, and the second,
Orbital Sciences' Cygnus, is expected to do so in 2013.[25]
The Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program
was initiated in 2010 with the purpose of creating
commercially operated manned spacecraft capable of
delivering at least four crew members to the ISS, staying
docked for 180 days and then returning them back to
Earth. These spacecraft are expected to become
operational around 2017.
