Zond 5 was the first spacecraft to carry life from Earth to the vicinity of the Moon and return, initiating the final lap of the Space Race with its payload of turtles, insects, plants and bacteria.

Its scintillators are on the sides of the spacecraft to view all of the sky which is not blocked by the Earth.

A slingshot maneuver can therefore be used to change the spaceship's trajectory and speed relative to the Sun.

(d) On 24 May 2004, Progress M 1 was undocked from the ISS.

For the deployment of penetrators, launch mechanisms would be mounted on one side of the spacecraft.

Gravity assistance can be used to accelerate a spacecraft, that is, to increase or decrease its speed and or redirect its path.

The launch of the Dragon spacecraft was in fact a US achievement, in a traditionally American spirit.

The spacecraft was launched by a Soyuz FG rocket at 07 01 GMT on 12 October 2008.

Apollo 10 then performed a full dress rehearsal of a crewed Moon landing in May 1969.

ISRO, the Indian National Space agency, is planning a second version of Chandrayaan named Chandrayaan 2.

Accelerating a spacecraft to orbital speed requires more than 60 times as much energy as accelerating it to Mach 3.

Rather than haul the spacecraft back to the shop for repairs, they simply analyzed the flaw, trimmed off the affected section, and proceeded with the launch.

The required speed is called orbital velocity, and it varies with the height of the orbit.

Alexei Leonov made the first spacewalk when he left the Voskhod 2 on March 8, 1965.

The WMAP spacecraft was launched on June 30, 2001, at 19 46 46 GDT, from Florida.

They are then thrown out of an airlock, but are picked up by the starship Heart of Gold.

While Ranger 6 suffered a failure of this camera system and returned no photographs despite an otherwise successful flight, the subsequent Ranger 7 mission to Mare Cognitum was a complete success.

(b) On 19 April 2004, the Soyuz FG carrier rocket, launched from the Baikonur launch site, delivered to the ISS the Soyuz TMA 4 spaceship carrying the crew of the ninth main mission.

The right answer, confirmed by the Soviet Venera spacecraft, was that Venus was very hot 900 degrees Fahrenheit.

NASA is developing the Orion spacecraft and launcher Space Launch System (SLS) that will achieve the task in Exploration Mission 2.

Maintenance Motorcyclists will refer to maintenance or repair of a motorcycle as wrenching in the USA and spannering in the UK.

The first human made object to reach the surface of the Moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2 mission, on 13 September 1959.

The goal was to place these Block I spacecraft in a very high Earth orbit with an apogee of and a perigee of .

The United States launched the first reusable spacecraft, the Space Shuttle, on the 20th anniversary of Gagarin's flight, April 12, 1981.

Look at that central building right in the middle of the picture that's the 130 foot diameter library, that is exactly the size of the base of the spaceship.

The power consumed on board a spacecraft was estimated to be in the range of 0.02 150 kW, depending on the type of spacecraft and the mission concerned.

Such radiation sources are developed for use in terrestrial conditions and, depending on the construction of a spacecraft and the location of the sources on board, they could break up in the event of an accident to a rocket system or spacecraft.

(a) On 29 January 2004, the Progress M1 11 cargo vehicle delivered to the ISS food, water, oxygen and fuel and also two electronic dummies for the programme of preparation for manned flight to Mars.

Thirty thousand participants from more than 90 countries competed for a spot on an XCOR Aerospace Lynx commercial spacecraft, due to lift off in 2018.

Crash landings may occur because of malfunctions in a spacecraft, or they can be deliberately arranged for vehicles which do not have an on board landing rocket.

The Constellation space program, began by President George W. Bush in 2004, aimed to launch a next generation multifunction Orion spacecraft by 2018.

(i) Pilot an experiment aimed at devising and testing ways of helping cosmonauts to maintain their fine spacecraft control skills under adverse conditions

It was never used again after the first flight instead the Soviet Union continued to develop space stations using the Soyuz craft as the crew shuttle.

It was stressed that, without the use of RHU, which provided individual spacecraft components with heat, the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, would not succeed.

History The photograph was taken about 5 hours and 6 minutes after launch of the Apollo 17 mission, and about 1 hour 54 minutes after the spacecraft left its parking orbit around the Earth, to begin its trajectory to the Moon.

Most of the remaining inner satellites were discovered by spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 during their flybys of Jupiter (1979), Saturn (1980), Uranus (1986) and Neptune (1989).

The Institute is involved in the interpretation of Deep Impact data and in ground based observations of the NEO Itokawa, which is the target asteroid of the Japanese Hayabusa mission.

An astronaut (or cosmonaut) is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft.
