1. The development of Space Technology and Its Influence on Human Society Class: 2S Group: No. 4

2. Introductions The reasons why we choose this topics Myths and mysterious in astronomy support science effort to explore space Successful launch of ShenZhou-5 have increased our interest in space technology Development of space technology is very important in 21 st century and we also care about it

3. Robert Goddard launched 1 st liquid fuel-rocket Famous Russian Scientists Konstantin Tsiolkovsky Glushko 5000 years ago--- Chinese invented world’s 1 st man-made rocket People first used rockets as weapons in Italy Civil war in 1379.

4. First Satellite Launching - USA & USSR Space Travel - World’s 1 st man: Yuri Gagarin - World’s 1 st woman: Valentina Tereshkova - 1 st American: Alan.B.Shepard - Americans on the Moon CAST, NASDA, ISRO, ESA were established NASA was established

5. First Satellite Launching - Japan & European Countries USA launched Skylab First Satellite Launching - India USSR launched Mir Station World’s 1 st re-usable shuttle - Colombia USA conduct its first docking First Rocket Launching - China & EN

6. USA launched Hubble Space Telescope USA launched International Space Station Chinese Unmanned Spacecraft Launching --- ShenZhou Colombia tragedy shocked the world 1 st Space Tourist towards ISS --- Denis Tito ShenZhou-5 carried Colonel Yang aboard

7. International Space Station Programme between USA,USSR, Canada, Japan and EU…etc For global development and operation Test new technologies in the real space environment

8. Other Space Stations To prove that humans could live and work in space for a long period of time Expands our knowledge of solar astronomy Provides docking ports for modules to attach Russia’s Mir Station American’s Skylab

9. Mission to Mars Carried the Lander Beagle 2 to Mars Designed to take pictures and examine rocks and oil Mars Express Beagle 2

10. Mission to Mars both looking for evidence that water was once on Mars To test if there is water on Mars Helps to analyze rocks on Mars

11. Benefit of Space Technology Providing updated information of space Searching for living creatures and resources on other planets Produces spin-off product Provides latest news and net work for weather forecast and telecommunication

12. Potential Threats of Space Technology Military purpose competition broke out between USA and USSR e.g, Cold War Nuclear missiles would be used as weapons in wars Space development add as a burden on economic growth

13. Looking Forward to the Future To continue to explore other planets To build up satellite networks To continue international co-operations with other countries Develops new resources and builds colonies on other planets Manned space flight would still remain the most important program

14. Conclusion Discuss the influence of space technology in different areas - Military -Economics -Politics -Culture

15. Discussion The relationship between wars and space development is always controversial. Expenditure of space development can become a burden on economic growth. Some critics like to use space-race plans as their campaigns To convince people to vote for them. Films and fictions about space.
