Space
 Outer space (often simply called space) is
the void that exists beyond any celestial
body including the Earth.
 It is not completely empty (i.e. a perfect
vacuum), but contains a low density of
particles, predominantly hydrogen plasma,
as well as electromagnetic
radiation, magnetic fields, and neutrinos.
 Theoretically, it also contains dark
matter and dark energy.
Space technology
 Technology that is related to entering,
and retrieving objects or life forms
from space.
 Also
Weather forecasting
Remote sensing
GPS systems
Satellite television
Re entry technology
 Thermal protection systems
Thermal soak
Tiles put on the ship to soak heat generated
while reentry.
Satellite
 Satellite is an object which has been
placed into orbit by human endeavor
 First by Russia
Sputnik (1957)
 India
Aryabhatta (1975)
NASA
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration is an Executive
Branch agency of the United States
government, responsible for the nation‘s
civilian space program and aeronautics 
and aerospace research.
Nasa Technologies

 Project Mercury
Used to discover if man could
survive in space

 Project Gemini
Developing and practicing
techniques required for
lunar missions.
 Apollo program
The Apollo program landed the
first humans on Earth's Moon

 Skylab
Skylab was the first space
station the United States launched
into orbit

 Space Shuttle program

 International Space Station
The International Space Station (ISS) is an
internationally developed research
facility currently being assembled in Low Earth
Orbit.

 Mariner program
It is a series of robotic interplanetary
probes designed to
investigate Mars, Venus and Mercury.
 Hubble Space Telescope
 Magellan probe
 Galileo probe
 Mars Global Surveyor

Conclusion
 NASA is focused on better
understanding of Earth and exploring
bodies throughout the Solar System with
advanced robotic missions
