Sputnik became the first satellite launched into the Earth's Atmosphere.  The satellite caught the U.S. completely by surprise and causing fear and hysteria to spread that the Soviet Union was far more advanced in the arms race.The satellite did little more than ping a connection back to earth but its launch marked a major landmark in human innovation. This initial event marked the beginning of the Space Race. ]]> 2022-03-25 18:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2114270741 23rfuerst https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119821015 Apollo 8 was the first crewed spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit and the first human spaceflight to reach the Moon.  The impact was because this lead people to eventually be able to walk on the moon.]]> 2022-03-29 17:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119821015 23gramos https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119824650 Visiting the Moon gave humanity the first glimpses of how our planet was created, a ball of floating rock drifting listlessly through space.

He spent about 20 minutes in space while being connected to a 25 foot umbilical cord. This was a progression for the United States and spacecraft technology became more advanced and beneficial to the country. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119828907 23dmarquez https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119829006 Explorer 1 became the first American satellite to successfully be launched.

SpaceX plans to start the first manned Mars Mission by 2030. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119831650 23agarbasz https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119831811 Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet Cosmonaut during the Space Race.

The landing craft was able to provide information about the planet regarding temperature and its atmosphere. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119832969 https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119833442 Mars rover landing is when a spaceship dropped a robotic operated rover on mars. The reason for landing rovers on mars is to see the quality of life and see if it will have potential for humans to live on. The rover analyzes different resources on the planet and uses that for evidence. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119833442 https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119833730 Sally ride was the first U.S. woman into space on June 18, 1983. Her space shuttle was named Challenger. This mission was the U.S. second mission going into space. Her and her crew of astronauts were in space for 2 days, 22 hours, and 50 minutes. Her job during this whole mission was to work the robotic arm. This made an impact in U.S. history because she was the first American woman in space. She was only 1 of 6 women selected to enter the astronauts corps. This was a very hard field for women to be in at the time. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119833730 23nrattiner https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119834185 Alan Shepherd Jr. was the first man from the United States to ever land on the moon. It was streamed across the entire country and parades were held in honor of him. This was a very big event and a very prideful day for the United States. The overall impact this had was it proved that it was possible to get to the moon. Alan paved the way for the future of missions to the moon. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119834185 https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119839422 Laika was the first living thing sent up to space. She, along with other strays, had been rescued by the soviet union and trained for this specific work. Although it had been implied that she was kept alive for six or seven days into the mission before being euthanized, that became false. Laika had actually survived only about five to seven hours after liftoff before dying of overheating and panic. Laika paved the way for human spaceflight, the experiment had proved that a living passenger could.]]> 2022-03-29 17:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119839422 23arosen https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119842536 Cassini was the first dedicated spacecraft to look at Saturn and its system. It was named for Giovanni Cassini, a 17th-century astronomer who was the first to observe four of Saturn's moons. Furthermore, Cassini didn't head straight to Saturn. Rather, its mission involved complicated orbital mechanics. It went past several planets — including Venus, Earth, and Jupiter. The spacecraft was very informational for Saturn, as well as for space as a whole. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119842536 https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119843965 Valentina Tereshkova was the first and youngest woman in space and flew a mission on the Vostok 6. She traveled 48 orbits and 71 hours, having spent more time than any other US astronauts. She inspired women and men to travel space. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119843965 23gkehoe https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119847357 The Hubble Telescope was launched by the space shuttle Discovery in 1990, allowing for clear views of our universe. Since its creation, the telescope has captured the most distant stars and galaxies known today. Over 30 years after its launch, the Hubble Telescope continues to be maintained and has made more than 1.5 million observations. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119847357 https://padlet.com/rmerle/89yyh7z7tgjvlpik/wish/2119859038 Zarya also known as the Functional Cargo Block (FGB) was established in November of 1998.
