February 7th, 1984

2024-10-22 09:52:30 UTC

1st untethered astronaut to float in space is Bruce McCandless II.

This is related to our unit because he is an astronaut, astronauts are related to astronomy and we are learning some things about astronomy.

The first animal in space

2024-10-22 10:07:10 UTC

The first animal in space was laika a dog that survived the the launch to the orbit in November 3 1957 but she died in the orbit.I think this is related to Missions to Mars because it’s good to know that different animals can go to space

International Space Station completed 2000 Nov.2

2024-10-22 10:34:58 UTC

The International Space Station (ISS) is a large space station that was assembled and is maintained in low Earth orbit by a collaboration of five space agencies and their contractors: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), JAXA(Japan), and CSA (Canada). The ISS is the largest space station ever built. Its primary purpose is to perform microgravity and space environment experiments.

First Mars rover safely lands on Mars 1997 July.4

2024-10-22 10:37:55 UTC

Sojourner is a robotic Mars rover that landed in the Ares Vallis channel in the Chryse Planitia region of the Oxia Palus quadrangle on July 4, 1997. Sojourner was operational on Mars for 92 sols (95 Earth days). It was the first wheeled vehicle to rove on a planet other than Earth and formed part of the Mars Pathfinder mission.

Japan’s robotic astronaut 2013

2024-10-22 10:41:24 UTC

Kirobo is Japan's first robot astronaut, developed by University of Tokyo and Tomotaka Takahashi, to accompany Koichi Wakata, the first Japanese commander of the International Space Station. Kirobo arrived on the ISS on August 10, 2013 on JAXA's H-II Transfer Vehicle Kounotori 4, an unmanned resupply spacecraft launched August 4, 2013 from Japan's Tanegashima Space Center. A twin to Kirobo, named Mirata, was created with the same characteristics, and stayed on Earth as a backup crew member. The word "kirobo" itself is a portmanteau of kibō (希望), which means "hope" in Japanese, and the word robo (ロボ), used as a generic short word for any robot.

April 19th, 1971

2024-10-22 10:43:20 UTC

The 1st space station was launched on April 19th, 1971, the name of the space station is Salyut 1. It was built and designed for a 6-month on orbit operational lifetime. The engineers gradually improved the design of the Salyut 1, and launched really capable space stations of the Salyut series.

This is linked to our unit because it is about a space station and we are probably going to learn about rockets, space shuttles, space stations.etc

Japan’s plan to destroy space debris 2009

2024-10-22 10:43:57 UTC

Cleaning up space junk was a bold idea, but one that presented major hurdles. “At the beginning, not many people supported our mission and people told me it would be impossible to develop technologies to rendezvous and capture debris, not to mention making a successful business case or influence government policies,” says Okada. “But when I heard there’s no market, that meant there are no competitors.”

The first man in space

2024-10-22 10:46:31 UTC

The first person to travel into space was Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut. He orbited the Earth on April 12, 1961. I believe that this is a very important event for Missions to Mars because this let us know that we can actually go to space

The first person on the moon

2024-10-22 10:59:31 UTC

The first person to step on the Moon was Neil Armstrong. He did so on July 20, 1969, during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. I think this event is very important as it tells us that most planets can be walked on

1977

2024-10-22 11:00:24 UTC

The 2 spacecrafts, voyager 1 and 2 were launched. The two spacecrafts were launched to study Jupiter and Saturn.

I think this is related to the unit because it’s about space.

The first woman in space

2024-10-22 11:06:45 UTC

The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova, a Soviet cosmonaut. She flew on June 16, 1963. I think this was important because Her mission demonstrated that women could contribute equally to space exploration and research

January 28, 1986

2024-10-22 11:17:16 UTC

The Challenger shuttle was launched on January 28, 1986.

The goal of launching this shuttle was to launch the 2nd tracking and data relay satellite. On the day it was launched, Florida was hit by a cold wave before it was launched, the icy condition probably is the cause of this disaster that killed all the seven people aboard, the space shuttle exploded in just 73 seconds after the liftoff, at the altitude of 14,000 high.

I think this is important because it tells us that we have to beware of the conditions of the weather, there are risks of being an astronaut, and that we should not force ourselves to do something that has a high chance of failing when conditions are bad.

2012 August

2024-10-22 11:21:32 UTC

Voyager 1 reaches interstellar space, continues its journey into even deeper space, and is still sending us useful information about the universe.

I think this is related to the unit because it is about the universe and we are learning about that.

Dec 10, 2018

2024-10-22 11:24:28 UTC

Voyager 2 reaches interstellar space, continues sending us information and goes even deeper into the universe.

I think this is related to our topic because it is about space and we are learning about that.

April 30 2001 first space tourist

2024-10-22 12:34:38 UTC

It's been 20 years since Dennis Tito, the world's first space tourist, pictured here flying into the ISS, went to space. Only a handful of people have followed in Tito's footsteps, but companies like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic reckon space tourism is the future.

May 1 2009 International space station completed

2024-10-22 12:38:02 UTC

space station assembled in low Earth orbit largely by the United States and Russia, with assistance and components from a multinational consortium.
