Space ??The unlimited or incalculably great three

dimensional realm in which all material objects are

located and all events occur.

Why explore Space ?

Because we are “STARDUST” ;

A part of Space .

Are we stardust ?? We really don’t realize that our bodies are made of

remnants of stars and massive explosions in the galaxies.

All the material in our bodies originates with that residual stardust, and it finds its way into plants and from there into the nutrients that we need for everything we do, think, move, grow & every few years the bulk of our bodies are newly created.

The Mystery of SpaceThroughout human history, space has remained a

distant realm full of mystery and wonder.

During the cold war, space race began between USSR and USA.

The exploration of space began with the launch of

first artificial satellite SPUTNIK 1 by USSR on 4th

October, 1957.

Then on 3rd November, 1957 Sputnik 2, 2nd

spacecraft launched to earth’s orbit carried first living animal in space, Dog Laika.

VOSTOK 1 The first successful human spaceflight VOSTOK 1 was

launched on 12th April, 1961 by Soviet Union with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.

Yuri Gagarin was the first human both to travel into outer space and to orbit the Earth.

I got this…

APOLLO 11 Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first

humans on the Moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrinon 20th July, 1969.

Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and uttered the immortal line “That is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Space Exploration

The big picture

Space exploration is still in infancy . Although we have learned a lot, we still have a lot of questions.

The cost of space exploration mandates that we should work together with other countries.

Example – International Space Station (ISS)

Chandrayaan Programme Chandrayaan 1 – Indian Space Research Organisation

launched its first unmanned lunar space probe on 22nd

October, 2008. It was a huge success and milestone for India as It became the fourth nation to place its flag on the moon and Moon Impact Probe (MIP) discovered water on lunar surface.

Chandrayaan 2 - The second phase is under preparation which will incorporate spacecraft capable of soft-landing on the Moon and will also deploy a robotic rover on lunar surface. It’s to be launched in 2017 aboard the heavy duty

GSLV Mk II rocket.

Why go to Moon ??

Origin and Evolution.

India’s Potential .

One million tonnes of Helium3 on moon’s surface.

Helium3 is believed to be fuel of the future.

Outpost for further planetary explorations.

Advantages of Space exploration• To reveal some of the mysteries that enfold outer space. Weather satellites help us track developing hurricanes,

allowing meteorologists to warn people days in advance. That saves thousands of lives.

Communication satellites allow us instant access to information all over the world using radio, television, and phones.

Why is Mars dry, cold, nearly airless, and dead? Why is Venus covered in thick clouds and suffering a runaway greenhouse effect? Why do hurricanes on Jupiter last for centuries? All these questions (and thousands more) help us understand our own planet, and allow us to see how humans are affecting it. Certainly understanding asteroids is important– we need to learn how to move them in case one is heading our way; an asteroid impact could wipe out all humans on Earth, so our very future is tied to space travel and exploration.

What is space breeding ? Space breeding refers to the technique of sending

seeds or microorganisms into space (200-400km) on a recoverable satellite or in other recoverable spacecraft. In the strong-radiation, high-vacuum, low-gravity and alternating magnetic field space environment, seeds may undergo beneficial mutation. Upon returning to Earth, mutated seeds will be selected and planted to breed strains with higher quality and yield.

Men wanted for hazardous journey,

small wages, and bitter cold, long

months of complete darkness,

constant danger, safe return

doubtful, honour and recognition in

case of success.
