 What is its importance
Studying the universe and what's in it requires
powerful instruments for astronomers to be able
to observe places never seen before.

It is worth remembering that the impact of these

technologies is not restricted to science: to carry
out the Apollo program, NASA needed to develop
several technologies that would be necessary to
take humans to the Moon, some of which are part
of our routine to this day.
 How technology in space started?
We have ventured into space since October 4, 1957, when the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) launched Sputnik,
the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth.

For several years, the two superpowers competed to develop

missiles, to transport nuclear weapons between continents. In
the USSR, rocket designer Sergei Korolev had developed the
first ICBM, a rocket called the R7, which would start the space
race.
 The space Shuttle program
Made in 1968 at the height of the Apollo program, NASA's space shuttle was the world's first
reusable spacecraft. It launched as a rocket and returned to Earth as a glider. It is designed to
carry large payloads – such as satellites – into orbit and bring them back if needed for repairs.
At the time, NASA envisioned a space station with 12 to 24 people. The space station was
intended to ensure a permanent U.S. manned presence in space following the Apollo lunar
landings. This would support a multitude of scientific research objectives, as well as acting as
an engineering and support base for manned travel to the planets.
 The International Space station
The International Space Station, known as the ISS, is the largest
structure ever assembled in space by man. Built by 15 countries, the
ISS is a modern laboratory for Earth observation and carrying out
experiments in a low gravity environment.

Assembly of most of the ISS began in 1998 and was officially

completed on July 8, 2011. At a cost of approximately 150 billion years.
 bENEFITS FOR HUMANITY
The most obvious benefits of the ISS are that the satellites have a multitude
of functions, from making our GPSs work to providing us with a television
signal, as well as the internet, telephone and many other things.

In addition, climate studies that use extremely detailed images obtained with
satellites are used to better understand the environment and the impact
caused by climate change.
