1 NASA By: Chimera & Tiffany

2 What is NASA? Executive branch of the US government It is responsible for the space programs and aeronautics/aerospace research Space exploration of the solar system Search for extra terrestrial life Researching topics such as Big Bang theory

3 History the Congress and the President of the United States created the national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on October 1, 1958 The US believed itself to be world leader in space technology and mission developing. The surprise of the Sputnik’s launching sparked the race to space

Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, while Michael Collins Apollo set major milestones in human spaceflight.

6 International Space Station The International Space Station (ISS) is an internationally developed research facility currently being assembled in Low Earth Orbit. On-orbit construction of the station began in 1998 and is scheduled to be completed by 2011

7 Unmanned Missions Pioneer Program Planetary exploration Voyager Program Study planetary alighnment Designated to study the gas planets Viking Program Exploration of Mars

8 NASA’s Future Human exploration of Mars NASA aims to put a man on Mars by 2037 Moon Base On December 4, 2006, NASA announced it was planning a permanent moon base. the goal was to start building the moon base by 2020, and by 2024
