The Space and the astronomy
From immemorial time, the man has been interested in the stars, and therefore to know what is beyond our planet, the astronomy. This science has been used for multiple uses. For example the Egyptians aligned the
pyramids to the Pole Star and Maya based their calendar on the cycles of the stars.
• In the twentieth century the astronomy drew on two great revolutions.
• These developments were based on new instruments.
Mid Twentieth Century
Radiotelescopes
Huge radio telescopes were deployed, Huge radio telescopes were deployed, instruments with which to hear the Universe.instruments with which to hear the Universe.
Space RaceBetween the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the objectives wereBetween the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the objectives were: the exploration of the outer space with artificial satellites and sent humans into space and the moon
Sputnik I, was the first satellite into orbit (USSR) Yuri Gagarin became the Yuri Gagarin became the
first human to be first human to be launched into space launched into space
The man on the Moon
After so many Russian victories, the great final battle, that After so many Russian victories, the great final battle, that of putting a man on the Moon, was realized by U.S. The of putting a man on the Moon, was realized by U.S. The Apollo 11 transported the astronauts Edwin Aldrin, Neil Apollo 11 transported the astronauts Edwin Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins. Armstrong was the first man Armstrong and Michael Collins. Armstrong was the first man to put his foot on the Moon and Aldrin followed him; to put his foot on the Moon and Aldrin followed him; the the July 21, 1969July 21, 1969. They became the first humans to step on the . They became the first humans to step on the moonmoon.
The Last Quarter Century
Astronomy goes out from the Earth…
…with orbiting spacial observatories. The specialized telescopes were sent outside Earth's atmosphere, as the Hubble telescope.
MIR
Twenty-first Century
Orbitals laboratories and Telescopies
In the 21st Century have been put into operation powerful telescopes and radio telescopes, terrestrial and orbital, and robots are on the surface of other planets by increasing the capacity of man.
Satellites
Are being launched Satellites of communication advanced, Are being launched Satellites of communication advanced, navigation, and planetary research, such as the Galileo navigation, and planetary research, such as the Galileo project, it is an European substitute of the GPS American. GPS project, it is an European substitute of the GPS American. GPS is an invent of USA realized in 1995 but stretch in the 21is an invent of USA realized in 1995 but stretch in the 21stst Century, shape for 24 satellites. Century, shape for 24 satellites.
Space travels
Are being designed space travel by private companies, but they are very expensive. Virgin Galactic are preparing Orbital travels but the price of this trips are very expensive .
FUTURE
ProjectsProjects
Permanent Lunar BaseThe design of a permanent lunar base with radio telescopes, which will reveal planets and galaxies so far unknown, and for the stopping place for the space ship in the travel to Mars
Humanization of the SpaceHumanization of the SpaceThe humanization of space with space colonies, as The humanization of space with space colonies, as well as the construction of hotelswell as the construction of hotels
The Stanford Torus, it's a proposed design for a space habitat capable of housing 10,000 to 140,000 permanent residents
Interplanetarium hotelInterplanetarium hotel, that it , that it would placed at 1200 Km of the would placed at 1200 Km of the EarthEarth
Future Spacecrafts
Use the spacecraft with speeds above Mach 25 (25 Use the spacecraft with speeds above Mach 25 (25 times the sound speed) with the intent of lowering the times the sound speed) with the intent of lowering the price of the orbiting objects. Now the “spacial cars” price of the orbiting objects. Now the “spacial cars” travel to 18.800 Km/h max. travel to 18.800 Km/h max.
