2. Definition of Space Technology
The systematic application of engineering and
scientific disciplines to the exploration and
utilization of outer space. Space technology
developed so that spacecraft and humans could
function in this environment that is so different
from the Earth's surface.
3. FATHER OF SPACE
TECHNOLOGY
Qian Xuesen (simplified Chinese:
钱学森 ; traditional Chinese: 錢學
森 ; pinyin: Qián Xuésēn;
Wade–Giles: Ch'ien Hsüeh-sên) (11
December 1911 – 31 October
2009) was a scientist who made
important contributions to the
missile and space programs of both
the
United States
and
People's Republic of China.
The
name he used while in the United
States was Hsue-Shen Tsien or
H.S. Tsien.
4. CAREER OF QIAN XUESEN
In 1943, Qian and two others in the Caltech rocketry group
drafted the first document to use the name
Jet Propulsion Laboratory; it was a proposal to the Army for
developing missiles in response to Germany's V-2 rocket. This
led to the Private A, which flew in 1944, and later the Corporal,
the WAC Corporal, and other designs.
After World War II he served under von Kármán as a consultant
to the United States Army Air Forces, and commissioned with
the assimilated rank of colonel. Von Kármán and Tsien both
were sent by the Army to Germany to investigate the progress of
wartime aerodynamics research. Qian investigated research
facilities and interviewed German scientists including
Wernher von Braun and Rudolph Hermann

7. 10 Recent Advancements of the
World
1. NASA's Z1 Spacesuit
NASA's spacesuit has looked
much the same over the
years, but all of that is about
to change. In 2012, scientists
and engineers at NASA's
Johnson
Space
Center
completed
a prototype of the new Z-1 spacesuit
, which was named one of the
year's best inventions by
TIME Magazine.
8. SpaceX's Grasshopper
On May 25, SpaceX became
the first private company to
dock a spacecraft at the
International Space Station
with
its
Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft
. On December 17, the
company delivered its encore
with
a successful test of its Grasshopper reusable rocket
,
9. Orbital Sciences' Commercial Orbital
Transportation Services (COTS) Demo Flight
While
SpaceX
currently holds the
distinction of being
the only private
space company to
launch a vehicle into
low-Earth orbit, the
possibility exists that
it will not hold this
title
for
much
longer.
10. Asteroid Mining
As the exhaustion point
of
Earth's
natural
resources
grows
imminent,
NASA scientists have suggested
that elements such as
platinum and cobalt may
be mined from asteroids
to satisfy our current
demand.
11. KickSat's Launch
In
1999,
Stanford University and California Polytechnic State University (Cal Po
: A miniaturized satellite that
has a volume of exactly 1 liter
and has a mass of no more
than 1.33 kg (2.93 pounds).
The
concept
garnered
widespread
interest
in
academic circles due to its
relatively low launch cost.
12. Space Tourism and Virgin Galactic's
SpaceShipTwo
Space Adventures, Ltd.,
has arguably been the
most
prolific
global
supplier of civilian space
tourism, having sent
clients such as Mark
Shuttleworth
and
Anousheh Ansari up to
the International Space
Station for the reported
price of $20 million per
person.
13. Spaceport Colorado
With the rise of the
commercial
space
industry, the United
States will soon look to
increase its launch sites
past Cape Canaveral, Fla.
and Spaceport America,
New Mexico. First in line
to claim this role is
Colorado's Front Range Airport, located just east of Denver
,
14. NASA's MAVEN Probe
While NASA's Mars Science
Laboratory, a.k.a. Curiosity
rover, has taken front stage
in recent months, a project
that remains in development
is
the
Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) probe
, an unmanned spacecraft
that will be used to sample
Mars' environment.
15. Russia's Angara rocket
This list would not be
complete without some
acknowledgement
of
non-U.S.
space
developments ... and so
the first nod goes to
Russia
for
its
Angara rocket, scheduled
for launch from the
Plesetsk Cosmodrome in
2013
16. China's Tiangong-2 Space
Station
The Tiangong-2 is a
planned Chinese space
laboratory expected to
succeed
China's current Tiangong-1 prototype module
, which was launched in
September 2011. The
China National Space
Agency has planned the
new station's launch for
2013.

19. ADVANTAGES OF SPACE
TECHNOLOGY :
Space Technology brings lots of benefits to our
modern world. Since the era of the space age,
space technology has brought more benefits to
the mankind then any other technological
advancement in the world. In fact, no other
technology or scientific breakthroughs has
brought more benefits to our everyday lives then
the space technology which has benefited our
world.
20. DISADVANTAGES OF SPACE
TECHNOLOGY
Very expensive. Space technology is extremely
expensive to research, design, build, test and
launch. - Kinetic Bombardment. Space
technology can be used asa weapon. Because of
the speed of which objects fall from space to
Earth, anordinary missile fired from a space
station for example will cause more damage
21. Recently to traveled to space
Jan 5, 2014 - Sunita Williams (First Indian woman who went on a space
journey few months back) Sunita Williams (born September 19, 1965) is a
United States Naval officer and a NASA astronaut. She was assigned to the
International Space Station as a member of Expedition 14 and then joined
Expedition 15. She holds the record of the longest spaceflight (195 days) for
female space travelers.
22. The first Indian to fly into space, Rakesh Sharma was born on 13 January 1949
in Patiala, Punjab to Hindu Gaur parents.
During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, Sharma flew missions in his MiG
aircraft with considerable success. He was a squadron leader with the Indian Air
Force when he flew into space in 1984 as part of a joint programme between
the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Soviet Intercosmos
space program.
