INTRODUCTION
• It is a significant part of human space exploration. It has accomplished many tasks that have enhanced the quality of life on earth.
• It is worlds first re-usable space –craft.• It is U.S first vehicle having standard sea level
atmospheric pressure and composition.
![Page 17: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MISSION SUMMERY.
• The Space Shuttle program began with the launch of STS-1 on April 12, 1981. Space Shuttle Columbia spent only two days in space as it tested everything out and returned safely to Earth. This began the first reusable spacecraft program. No other flying machine (airplane, helicopter, or rocket ) is able to serve as a home for pilots, carry cargo, fly in space or in our atmosphere, maneuver around in orbit, land on a runway, and be ready to do it all over again in just a few weeks.
![Page 18: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Between march 1998 and may 1998,NASA astronauts flew onboard the Russian space station Mir in a collaborative effort.
• Almost 11 space shuttle flights were carried out.• Mir is a test site for three main areas of experience
and investigations:
1.designing,building and staffing the international space station.2.Investigation about space station hardware, materials and construction materials.3.operation,no previous needed so many independent operations.

EXTRA VEHICULAR ACTIVITES
WHAT ACTUALLY EXTRA VEHICULAR ACTIVITES MEANS….????
![Page 44: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
DEFINITION
– The term most commonly applies to an EVA made outside a craft orbiting Earth (a spacewalk), but also applies to an EVA made on the surface of the Moon (amoonwalk)..
Exra-vehicular activity (EVA) is work done by an astronaut away from the Earth, and outside of a spacecraft.
![Page 45: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
– Untethered spacewalks were only performed on three missions in 1984 using the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), and on a flight test in 1994 of the Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER)
A SAFER is a safety device worn on tethered U.S. EVAs, since the capability of returning to the spacecraft is essential.
EVAs may be and electricaeither tethered (the astronaut is connected to the spacecraft; oxygen l power can be supplied through an umbilical cable; no propulsion is needed to return to the spacecraft), or untethered…
![Page 46: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
– A "Stand-up" EVA (SEVA) is where the astronaut does not fully exit a spacecraft, but is completely reliant on the spacesuit for environmental support..
Its name derives from the astronaut "standing up" in the open hatch, usually to film or assist a spacewalking astronaut.
![Page 47: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Indian Missiles: Threat and Capability
The Report
(January-February 1995)
– As Indian scientists watched their new space rocket ascend over the Indian Ocean, they were jubilant.
THE ROCKET'S FOUR GIANT STAGES
LIFTED A THREE-QUARTER TON
SATELLITE INTO A NEAR POLAR
ORBIT, A TREMENDOUS
ACHIEVEMENT FOR INDIAN
ROCKETRY.
![Page 48: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• . India tested its first nuclear device in 1974. Since then, according to the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), its researchers have progressed to working on more powerful thermonuclear bombs and the missiles to deliver them.
IF INDIA CONVERTS ITS NEW SPACE ROCKET TO A
MISSILE, IT COULD REACH CITIES AS FAR AWAY AS
LONDON, TOKYO AND NEW YORK.India built the medium-range Agni missile by taking a first-stage rocket from a small space launcher and combining it with guidance technology developed by the German space agency
![Page 49: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
– One of India's ablest students was A. P. J. Kalam returned home to build India's first space rocket, the Satellite Launch Vehicle - SLV-3, a carbon copy of the Scout.
NASA made Kalam's task easier by supplying unclassified technical reports on the Scout's design
India's quest for imports provoked a row with the United States in 1992. The Russian space agency tried to sell India advanced cryogenic engines for India's most ambitious space rocket, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).
![Page 50: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Space suit..
– A space suit is a garment worn to keep an astronaut
alive in the harsh environment ( vac cum and temperature extremes) of outer space.
– Space suits are often worn inside spacecraft as a safety precaution in case of loss of cabin pressure, and are necessary for extra-vehicula activity (EVA), work done outside spacecraft.
![Page 51: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
– Space suits have been worn for such work in Earth orbit, on the surface of the Moon, and en route back to Earth from the Moon.
– The first space suit worn by a human in space was the Soviet Union SK-1 suit worn by Yuri Gargarin in 1961.
![Page 52: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
HOW SPACE SUIT WORKS?
– Outer Space is an extremely hostile place. If you were to step outside a spacecraft and you weren't wearing a space suit, the following things could happen:
– YOU COULD BECOME UNCONSCIOUS WITHIN 15 SECONDS BECAUSE THERE'S NO OXYGEN.
– YOUR BLOOD AND BODY FLUIDS COULD "BOIL" AND THEN FREEZE BECAUSE THERE IS LITTLE OR NO
AIR PRESSURE.
– YOUR TISSUES (SKIN, HEART, OTHER INTERNAL ORGANS) COULD EXPAND BECAUSE OF THE
BOILING FLUIDS.
– YOU COULD FACE EXTREME CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE SUNLIGHT
TEMPERATURES MIGHT REACH 248 DEGREES F (120 DEGREES C) AND PLUMMET TO -148 F ( -100 C)
IN THE SHADE.
– YOU WOULD BE EXPOSED TO VARIOUS TYPES OF RADIATION, SUCH AS COSMIC RAYS, AND
CHARGED PARTICLES EMITTED FROM THE SUN (SOLAR WIND).
– YOU COULD BE HIT BY SMALL PARTICLES OF DUST OR ROCK THAT MOVE AT HIGH SPEEDS
(MICROMETEOROIDS) OR ORBITING DEBRIS FROM SATELLITES OR SPACECRAFT.
![Page 53: SPACE EXPLORATION- A Review on history..](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555ab069d8b42a405b8b4d64/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
– SO, TO PROTECT YOU FROM THESE
DANGERS, A SPACE SUIT MUST:
– HAVE A PRESSURIZED ATMOSPHERE.
– GIVE YOU OXYGEN AND REMOVE
CARBON DIOXIDE
– MAINTAIN A COMFORTABLE
TEMPERATURE DESPITE STRENUOUS
WORK AND MOVEMENT INTO AND
OUT OF SUNLIT AREAS
– PROTECT YOU FROM

Spacesuit requirements– A SPACE SUIT MUST PERFORM SEVERAL FUNCTIONS TO ALLOW ITS OCCUPANT TO WORK SAFELY
AND COMFORTABLY, INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF A SPACECRAFT. IT MUST PROVIDE:
– A STABLE INTERNAL PRESSURE. THIS CAN BE LESS THAN EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE, AS THERE IS
USUALLY NO NEED FOR THE SPACESUIT TO CARRY NITROGEN (WHICH COMPRISES ABOUT 78%
OF EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE AND IS NOT USED BY THE BODY). LOWER PRESSURE ALLOWS FOR
GREATER MOBILITY, BUT REQUIRES THE SUIT OCCUPANT TO BREATHE PURE OXYGEN FOR A TIME
BEFORE GOING INTO THIS LOWER PRESSURE, TO AVOID DECOMPRESSION SICKNES.– MOBILITY. MOVEMENT IS TYPICALLY OPPOSED BY THE PRESSURE OF THE SUIT;
MOBILITY IS ACHIEVED BY CAREFUL JOINT DESIGN.
– SUPPLY OF BREATHABLE OXYGEN AND ELIMINATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE; THESE GASES ARE
EXCHANGED WITH THE SPACECRAFT OR A PORTABLE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM (PLSS).

TEMPERATURE REGULATION. UNLIKE
ON EARTH, WHERE HEAT CAN BE
TRANSFERRED BY CONVECTION TO THE
ATMOSPHERE, IN SPACE, HEAT CAN BE
LOST ONLY BY THERMAL RADIATION OR
BY CONDUCTION TO OBJECTS IN
PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE EXTERIOR
OF THE SUIT. SINCE THE TEMPERATURE
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SUIT VARIES
GREATLY BETWEEN SUNLIGHT AND
SHADOW, THE SUIT IS HEAVILY
INSULATED, AND AIR TEMPERATURE IS
MAINTAINED AT A COMFORTABLE
LEVEL.

– A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, WITH EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO
THE SPACECRAFT OR PLSS
– MEANS OF COLLECTING AND CONTAINING SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE (SUCH AS
A MAXIMUM ABSORBENCY GARMENT)
