Space Exploration History SiteSite Summary

The project that I created is an informational website that describes United States Space Exploration history. Throughout recent years, "America's Space Achievements have gained my interest. I hope to inspire viewers to follow NASA. The website will document America's progression through manned Space Exploration, with sub pages for every launch series, (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Shuttle). Upon landing on the moon, humans expanded their footprint from one celestial body (earth) to two (the moon). This is a great example of a majestic point in history and these are the kinds of statements that I hope to use in the site to inspire viewers.

Project Strategy Strategy Statement: The

project that I want to create is an informational website that describes United States Space Exploration history. Throughout recent years, "America's Space Achievements have gained my interest. I hope to inspire viewers to follow NASA. The website will document America's progression through manned Space Exploration, with sub pages for every launch series, (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Shuttle). Upon landing on the moon, humans expanded their footprint from one celestial body (earth) to two (the moon). This is a great example of a majestic point in history and these are the kinds of statements that I hope to use in the site to inspire viewers.

Demographics: I plan to provide a Space enthusiast's chosen content for the site by partially observing demographic attributes (interests , residential region, etc). Psychographics: I plan to provide a Space enthusiast's ideal content also by learning their opinions on exploration, favorite space program, or most valued program completed by NASA.

The Offering: The offering is a Website documenting United States Space Exploration history, starting from the first sub-orbital flight by Alan Shepard, landing on the moon, to developments today with the new Orion spacecraft. Site functions include, the site summary, (explaining that the site is about U.S. manned space flight history). An E-Newsletter will also be included in the site, with registration available, giving users access to the document repository, (old NASA files, if allowed by NASA). Along with these things the site will contain a search bar, subpages for each manned-mission program, an image gallery, and combination of Social Media.Strategic Positioning: To compete with other Space History Websites, I will need to make sure I offer the most valid information, an attractive visual them for the site, and visual descriptions of spacecraft operated throughout our time in Space.

Manned Spacecraft & their design

Past Astronauts

I would like to be better educated about Astronauts that have flown in the past.

Better Instructed

I wish to view separate pages of each manned mission program and their description/ purpose/ achievements

I would like to learn about past spacecraft and their

design description because I am going to be
