NASA was established in 1958 in response to the Soviet launch of Sputnik. It led early spaceflight missions like Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, which landed the first humans on the Moon in 1969. NASA developed the Space Shuttle program in the 1980s and helped build the International Space Station beginning in 1998. NASA conducts aeronautics research and collaborates with international partners on projects exploring Earth science, the solar system, and enabling commercial space activities.

5. Launching of NASA
Established in October 1,1958
After world war-II there was a cold war between USA and RUSSA.
A broad contest was there among aligned and nonaligned over space. That this field became
space race.
American president declare the International Geophysical Year (IGY) for the period, July 1,
1957 to December 31, 1958.
Soviets launched Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite as its IGY entry.
It had pearl harbor effect on Americans, and this thing produced stimulus to work in Aeronautics
field.

6. NASA started many mission after its creation and
within twenty years it has set many missions like
Mercury’s single astronaut program
Project Gemini two astronauts
Robotic mission to the Moon
Aeronautics research
Remote-sensing Earth satellite
Application of satellite in communications

7. Early Spaceflights
Mercury Spaceflight
On May 5, 1961, Alan B. Shepard Jr. became the first American to fly into
space
An effort to learn human survive in space
Gemini Spaceflight
This was built on mercury’s flight experience
Built for two astronauts,10 flights provided NASA more information regarding
space.
During Gemini 4, on June 3, 1965, when Edward H. White, Jr., became the first
U.S. astronaut to conduct a spacewalk.

8. Going to the Moon - Project Apollo
NASA achievements involve human exploration to space in early years.
But after Soviets success in space project Apollo became their first and high profile project.
 to make this dream real NASA spent 11 years on this project and it demand $25.4billions .
NASA had to face many crises and financial problems. But they bounced back with great
revolution
In on December 24-25, 1968, when its crew read from the book of Genesis, was another crucial
accomplishment on the way to the Moon.
That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil A. Armstrong uttered these
famous words on July 20, 1969, when the Apollo 11 mission

9.  Five more successful
lunar landing
missions followed.
 The Apollo 13
mission of April 1970
attracted the public's
attention.
 17 mission of
December 1972,
NASA completed a
successful
engineering and
scientific program.

10. Space Shuttle
After a gap of six years, NASA returned to human spaceflight in 1981.
Demonstrating that it could take off vertically and glide to an unpowered
airplane-like landing.
NASA is poised to return to flight aim in summer 2005 with the STS-114
mission. There are three Shuttle orbiters in NASA's fleet
◦ Atlantis,
◦ Discovery
◦ Endeavour

12. Toward a Permanent Human Presence in Space
For permanent stay in the space NASA established its space base
An initial effort in this area was NASA's Skylab program in 1973.
In 1984, Congress authorized NASA to build a major new space station as a
base for further exploration of space.
Russian experience
Russian join NASA as international partners to build an space facility that kwon
as International Space Station.

13. International
Space Station
is a artificial
satellite in low
Earth orbit
whose first
component was
launched in 1998
 Now the largest
artificial body in
orbit
The ISS serves as a
microgravity and
space environment

15. Aeronautics
The goal of the Fundamental Aeronautics Program is to achieve technological
capabilities necessary to overcome national challenges in air transportation
including reduced noise, emissions and fuel consumption, and increased
mobility through a faster means of transportation.
To control Civil aviation
