American Astronaut Wall of Fame. . NASA. On October 1, 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created to promote American civilian interests in space. Established at first to direct the nations efforts toward the scientific exploration of space, the challenge of manned space flight was also embraced and our conquest of the last, the greatest, the most dangerous frontier of all was underway. Mercury. Project Mercury (1959-63) was the first phase of our manned flight effort. Its goals were to construct a vehicle capable of launching an astronaut into orbit; to learn how to navigate and to track objects in space; and to study the effects of weightlessness on the human body. On May 5, 1961, Alan B. Shepard, Jr. became the first American in space. Three weeks later, then President John F. Kennedy proposed that “this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.” We were on our way to the moon., Gemini. The Gemini Project (1965-66) was an intermediate step toward reaching the moon. These flights taught astronauts how to change orbits; how to rendezvous and dock with other spacecraft; and practice performing extra vehicular activities while in orbit. The complexity of these missions required two people to fly the Gemini spacecraft, with some missions lasting up to two weeks without any adverse physiological effects. While the Mercury spacecraft were powered by batteries, the development of fuel cells aided the long term Gemini flights by not only producing electricity for the equipment but also drinking water for the crew. Apollo. The Apollo Program’s (1967-75) first five missions tested new spacecraft, as well as methods of navigation and communication between the earth and moon. On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong announced “Tranquility base here, the Eagle had landed.” The United States had put the first human beings on the moon; thus fulfilling the challenge that President Kennedy set forth some eight years earlier. Five more successful lunar missions yielded hundreds of pounds of lunar rocks, thousands of photographs and a greater understanding of the Earth’s closest neighbor. Skylab. The space station Skylab (1973-74) was built from the third stage of a Saturn 5 rocket and served as an orbital laboratory for various experiments and observations. It was visited on three separate occasions by Apollo spacecrafts carrying crews of three that stayed for up to 84 days in an effort to study the long term effects of weightlessness on the human body. Apollo-Soyuz. The final flight of the Apollo Program was in July of 1975 when an Apollo spacecraft docked with a Soviet spacecraft for almost two days. The two crews exchanged flags and gifts, visited each others spacecraft and conducted joint scientific experiments. STS. The STS (Space Transportation System) or Space Shuttle has allowed NASA to reach space more affordably by re-using the major components of a spacecraft. Limited to low Earth orbit, the Space Shuttle is launched vertically like a rocket, then returns to Earth gliding like an airplane. While in space the orbiters can deploy, repair or retrieve satellites; conduct scientific experiments; and have helped in the construction of the International Space Station., Turning our eyes towards the future of space exploration, Mars is our next destination.
