  1. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Bell Work May 8, 2014 • Apply your engineering design process (EDP) knowledge to what • we learned about our space exploration efforts. • Remember: Step 1 of the EDP is to identify a need. • (1) Regarding rocket technology, identify the need that these rockets • addressed. • (2) Regarding the space shuttle program, what need did this • technology address? • Remember: In step 2 of the EDP you build a prototype. • (3) Why might someone say that the V-2 rocket from 1943 • (shown below) was a prototype of the Saturn 5 rocket that we used • to go to the moon? V-2 Rocket (1943)

  3. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes Space Race: USA vs. USSR (Russia) Fact: USA and USSR (Russia) fought together against Nazi Germany during WWII. Fact: USA and USSR both captured German rocket scientists and equipment in WWII Fact: USA and USSR competed against each other to build bigger and more powerful rockets

  4. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes Space Race: USA vs. USSR (Russia) Fact: The USSR (Russia) leaped ahead of the USA when they put the first satellite (Sputnik 1) in orbit in 1957. Sputnik 1 (1957)

  5. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes Space Race: USA vs. USSR (Russia) Fact: The USSR (Russia) maintained their lead when they put the first astronaut in orbit (Yuri Gagarin) in 1961. Yura Gagarin (First Man In Space) 1961

  6. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes Fact: Since the USSR was ahead in the space race, president Kennedy (JFK) committed the USA in 1961 to landing a man on the moon before 1970. Fact: This lead to three NASA spaceflight projects (1) Project Mercury (2) Project Gemini (3) Project Apollo

  7. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes • Project Mercury (1959-1963) • This was the USA's first human spaceflight program • It had two main goals • Goal 01: put a human in orbit • Goal 02: do this before the Soviet Union did it Goal 01: Achieved this goal in 1962 Goal 02: Failed to do this for the Russians had accomplished it in 1961 Project Mercury Atlas Rocket (1961)

  8. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes • Project Gemini (1962-1966) • This was the USA's second human spaceflight program • It had several goals • Goal: practice linking up spaceships in orbit • Goal: practice having astronauts work • outside their spaceship while in orbit Goals: All goals were achieved by 1966 Project Gemini (extra-vehicular activity) Gemini 6 and 7 (docking spacecraft)

  9. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes Project Apollo (1968-1972) This was the USA's attempt to land astronauts on the moon. Tragedy: The first mission, Apollo 1, was a failure. A fire in the command module killed the three astronauts on board Success: Apollo 11 mission-two astronauts landed on the moon More Success: US astronauts landed on the moon 6 times USSR Failure: Sent an unmanned probe to the moon in 1959 but never landed men therers Astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the Moon (1969) Apollo 7 Liftoff (1968)

  10. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes Project Apollo (1968-1972) More USA Success: US astronauts landed on the moon 6 times (Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16, Apollo 17) USSR Failure: Sent an unmanned probe to the moon in 1959, but they never landed cosmonauts there Apollo 11 Mission (1969)

  11. Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4  Notes Apollo Program USA Rocket (Saturn 5)

  12. Apollo Program and Moon Landings  Notes Moon landing: Lunar Module Spacecraft
