This document defines and describes five key space-related terms: spacecraft, space probe, space station, space shuttle, and rocket. It explains that spacecraft are vehicles designed to operate in outer space and are used for purposes like communication, exploration, and transporting humans. Space probes are scientific exploration missions that leave Earth to explore other areas of space. Space stations are spacecraft designed to remain in orbit for extended periods and support human crews, while relying on other vehicles to transport people and cargo. The space shuttle was a partially reusable spacecraft operated by NASA to transport people and cargo to and from low Earth orbit. Rockets use carried propellants and the thrust from rocket engines to push themselves forward by expelling exhaust rearwards very fast.PRESENTACION

Astronomy is the study of natural objects in the sky. Ancient astronomers from different cultures made observations of celestial bodies like the sun, stars, and moon. Galileo Galilei invented the first astronomical telescope in 1609, magnifying views 30 times compared to the naked eye. This allowed further study of planets and stars in space. Space exploration has developed from early observations using telescopes to modern inventions like rockets, satellites, space stations, and shuttles that allow exploration beyond Earth.Space Travel

Stars are formed over millions of years from colliding gas and dust particles within huge dust clouds in space. Inside these clouds, dense pillars called "creation pillars" allow new stars to form at their bases as the stars rise to their tops. Protostars form within these pillars through a concentration process, becoming large but cold bodies that can only be seen using infrared light. As protostars shrink in size through further concentration, their cores grow hot enough to ignite nuclear fusion, officially forming a new star. The life cycle and eventual death of stars depends on their initial mass, with smaller stars becoming white dwarfs and larger stars ending catastrophically as supernovae.More Related Content

Nebulae are clouds of gas and dust in space that serve as the birthplaces of stars. There are several types of nebulae including emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, and dark nebulae. Stars are born from nebulae and progress through different stages in their life cycles. A star will evolve from its birth in a nebula as a red dwarf or giant, through a white dwarf phase, and eventually end its life as a black dwarf, supernova, or black hole.Black holes definitivo
Black holes definitivoIgnaciomorefer
油
Black holes form from dying massive stars and are regions of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They have an event horizon boundary and extreme density at the singularity at the center. Small stellar black holes form from supernovae, while supermassive black holes with masses of billions of suns are found at the centers of galaxies. Matter falling into a black hole's intense gravity is stretched or "spaghettified" as it crosses the event horizon.Copernicus

Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer born in 1473 who developed a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center. He began developing his heliocentric theory in 1508 and published his seminal work "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" just before his death in 1543. Copernicus' revolutionary theory challenged the geocentric model advocated by the Catholic Church and claimed that all planets including Earth revolve around the Sun in circular orbits. His theory helped launch the Copernican Revolution and shift to modern astronomy and physics.Newton and his universal theory of gravitation

Dark matter is invisible matter that makes up about 21% of the universe. It cannot be seen directly but its existence and properties are known through its gravitational effects on visible matter. There are two main types of dark matter: ordinary matter made up of normal particles and extraordinary dark matter like black holes. Dark matter was first proposed in 1933 by Fritz Zwicky to explain discrepancies in galaxy motions but its exact nature remains mysterious. Current experiments aim to detect dark matter particles but have had conflicting results so far.The Big Bang Theory

Technological developments in the mid-20th Century made space travel possible. Humans, for thousands of years, had always looked up at the sky and wondered. There was a lot of curiosity about what lies above the Earth, in the heavens.
The invention of rockets and space probes made it possible for the first time to get out of Earth and actually see and sometimes go to heavenly bodies. Human beings, for the first time in thousands of years, traveled out of the Earth. But the Space Race was actually accelerated by the geopolitical competition between two opposing superpowers.
Both nations, USA and USSR, tried their best to be the first in many things in space. USSR was leading initially in the space race with its spectacular achievements. The USA was also catching up with its rockets and space probes.
Americans finally became the first to land humans on the moon in 1969, a big achievement. The pace of the space race slowed after that and there was even coloration between the superpowers in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975.

There are two main types of satellites - natural and artificial. Natural satellites, also called moons, orbit planets whereas artificial satellites are man-made objects launched into space by rockets. Some key natural satellites include shepherd moons that help maintain planetary rings and Trojan moons that share the same orbit as a larger moon. The first artificial satellite was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, marking the beginning of space exploration. Artificial satellites now serve various purposes like communications, earth observation, weapons, and astronomy.Space Travel

- 3. Concept A spacecraft is a vehicle or device designed for travel or operation outside the Earths atmosphere. A satellite is an spacecraft that orbits the Earth, the moon, or another celestial body.
- 4. Spacecrafts
- 5. Spacecrafts Aspacecraft is a vehicle designed to fly in outer space. Spacecraft are used for a variety of purposes: including communications, earth observation, meteorology, navigation, space colonization, planetary exploration, and transportation of humans and cargo. Just 24 nations actually have spacefaring technology, this are the most important ones: Russia, the United States, the member states of the European Space Agency, the Republic of China, Japan.
- 6. History of Spacecrafts The name of the first artificial spacecraft which was launched into an elliptical low Earth orbit by the Soviet Union in 1957 was Sputnik . As it reached the space new political, military, technological, and scientific developments took place. While Sputnik 1 was the first spacecraft to orbit the Earth, other man-made objects had previously reached an altitude of 100 km, which is the height required by the international organization F辿d辿ration A辿ronautique Internationale to count as a spaceflight.
- 7. Manned spacecrafts As of 2011, only three nations have flown manned spacecraft: USSR/Russia, USA, and China. The first manned spacecraft was Vostok 1, which carried Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961, and completed a full Earth orbit. The second manned spacecraft was named Freedom 7, and it performed a sub-orbital spaceflight in 1961 carrying American astronaut Alan Shepard to an altitude of just over 187 kilometres.
- 8. Spaceplanes Some reusable vehicles have been designed only for manned spaceflight, and these are often called spaceplanes. The first automatic partially reusable spacecraft was the Buran (Snowstorm), launched by the USSR on November 15, 1988, although it made only one flight.
- 9. Satellites
- 10. Satellites Asatellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit. Satellites are used for a large number of purposes. Common types include military and civilian, Earth observation satellites, communication, navigation satellites, weather satellites, and research satellites. The name of the first artificial satellite which was launched into an elliptical low Earth orbit by the Soviet Union in 1957 was Sputnik .
- 11. Satellites About 6,600 satellites have been launched. The latest estimates are that 3,600 remain in orbit. Of those, about 1,000 are operational; the rest have lived out their useful lives and are part of the space debris. Satellites are usually semi-independent computer-controlled systems.
- 12. NASA The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the United States government agency that is responsible for the civilian space program as well as for aeronautics and aerospace research. NASA collaborate in the Apollo moon landing missions and other important programs. NASA shares data with various national and international organizations.
