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.

Astronomy: Twentieth century

• 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

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.
