History and future of space travel. NewSpace terminology and Private future space travel.
Aerospace meaning , history and future .Space exploration meaning history and future .
To travel into the unknown of space is a dream for so many children and adults alike, although one that very few will ever reach.
Throughout time so many countries, and now private companies, across the world have tried to create a method of getting in amongst the stars.
It’s even united countries that previously had such strong conflict.
Here we’re going to go through a timeline of the significant moments in the history of space travel, starting way back in the 1940s.
In 1942 the German V2 rocket, designed by Wernher Von Braun, was the first to reach 100km (62 miles) from the Earth’s surface.
Also known as the boundary of space.
Braun later worked with NASA on the rockets that went to the moon.
On July 30, 2020, at 11:50 UTC NASA launched their Mars Rover which was the largest of four missions to Mars in 2020.
Without a doubt, this mission plans to be the most fruitful with the craft equipped with state-of-the-art modern technology and engineering capable of truly exploring the martian land like never before!
The Mars Rover’s mission among other things is to see if the red planet has ever accommodated extra-terrestrial life by exploring any signs of habitable conditions both in the past and present.
In 1947, the first animals went into space. Fruit flies were used to study the effects of space travel on animals as they’re very similar to humans.
The flies traveled with a supply of corn to eat on the flight.
Albert II was the first monkey in space.
Albert II was a Rhesus monkey and boldly went where no primate had been before on June 14, 1949, in a specially adapted US V2 rocket, that flew 83 miles from Earth.
On October 4, 1957, Russia launched the first space satellite (or sputnik in Russian) named Sputnik 1.
Sputnik 1 was the first satellite in orbit around the earth.
In November the same year, Laika the Russian dog became the first animal to orbit the earth. Laika is Russian for “Barker”.
She traveled in Sputnik 2 and helped understand whether people could survive in space.
By 1959 Both US and Russian scientists were in a race to get a craft to the Moon; the Russians won.
Space-probe Luna 2 crash-landed into the moon at fatal speeds.
Ten years later, the first human visited the surface.
On April 12, 1961, Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space.
Traveling in Vostok 1 he completed one orbit of the earth, landing about two hours after launch.
Gagarin had to eject and use a parachute to land as the craft was designed to crash land.
John Glenn became the first US man to orbit the Earth aboard the Friendship 7.
John actually chose this name; officially the craft is called the Mercury-Atlas 6, for the mission Mercury and it being the 6th flight to use the faster Atlas rocket.
Valentina Tereshkova, a Russian cosmonaut, became the first woman in space.
After her mission, she had a crater on the far side of the Moon is named after her.
In 1963 John F. Kennedy promised that by 1970 the US would have put men on the moon.
NASA firstly sent a robot spaceship called Surveyor 1, to make sure they could safely land.
It reached the moon on May 30, 1966, just after the Russian probe Luna 9.
Once Surveyor 1 landed it took photographs and sent them back to eagerly awaiting scientists who used them to visualize the terrain and work out a plan to land people on the moon safely.

This saw the first use of the Lunar Rover, an electric vehicle with a top speed of 8 mph (13 kph), to explore the moon on the fourth, fifth and sixth Apollo missions.
Space travel has for so many people mesmerized them from a very young age,
Space travel has for so many people mesmerized them from a very young age, myself included, and as this list has shown, there is always something new to discover!
We have barely scratched the surface, and yet every year we learn or launch something new with the dream of reaching some unknown bit of the universe.
To travel to the furthest edge man can reach will always be the aim.
To unearth the secrets hidden, to find life or anything that’s interesting and bewildering drives some of the best minds in the world every day.
Mr. Trump on Thursday signed a space policy directive aimed at boosting America exploration of space by streamlining regulations on commercial space activity.
Private space exploration has bypassed NASA since it created its own inertia after the Apollo program concluded in 1972 without its laser focus on manned space travel under direction from a clearly defined central authority controlling most space agencies worldwide.
On September 15, a crew of two will fly to space on Inspiration4, representing people who have previously been excluded from spaceflight.

NewSpace terminology
We’ve been curious about what the space community defines as “NewSpace” for quite a while. So we ran a raffle at the recent International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2018) in Bremen, Germany, where we got the opportunity to engage with the global space community through the ESA Start-Up Zone. To enter into the raffle, attendees were asked to answer one simple question:
“What does NewSpace mean to you?”
