Consequently NASA’s strategic plan for space exploration and the ability to improve life is based on making plans to further extend its reach into the Solar System. Essential to continuing the status quo for NASA will be the ability to increase funding and resources from the public.

Scientific research has not only come from NASA or other national space agencies. Commercial space operations are quickly becoming a force to reckon with in space exploration. Companies like SpaceDev founded by Jim Benson are developing and implementing private enterprises that are making space research and data more cheaply and easily available. SpaceDev started developing the Near Earth Asteroid Prospector which would have been used to get within less than 1 kilometer

During the Space Race, the first orbital satellites were sent to outer space. Today, Americans can communicate, predict the weather, and study geodetics because of the satellites that first orbited in space.All satellites and space probes carry specialized radios receiving and transmitting equipment for guidance and control purposes as well as relaying data from space to Earth. Without the first satellite transmission of a human voice in 1958, communication would not be as efficient (Rabinowitch, 1963).

An example of this is the satellite television which was introduced in 1962 with the launch of the Telstar satellite. With this, television signals were able to travel through space to televisions around the world. Another invention that was introduced during this time was the weather satellite. “Kennedy also requested funding to accelerate the use of communication satellites to expand worldwide communications and the use of satellites for worldwide weather observation. Both of these initiatives quickly evolved into major areas of space technology that now serve the global community” (Angelo 29).

The space industry has produced many amazing technologies in the past from the development of fireproof material that makes up the modern firefighter suit to new forms of power generation. This is based on the fact that the National Aeronautics Space Agency (NASA)

In late 1972, a group of U.S. scientists led by William Nordberg, Director of Applications at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, quietly programmed the satellite to take pictures of the Soviet Union. The decision was made as a friendly gesture after a series Working Group meetings between American and Soviet scientists on the Natural Environment. At that time, the Soviet Union did not have remote sensing technology. The American scientists knew their Soviet colleagues wanted the images, but could not ask for them directly. Because the Soviet government was sensitive about American satellites flying over the Soviet Union, their scientists were never directly informed about the programming decision. The American officials also avoided giving the resulting ERTS images directly to the Soviet scientists because doing so might have violated the 1972 joint space agreement signed by both countries. Nonetheless, according to Mr. Nordberg, the Soviets were aware or made aware they could buy space images including those collected by ERTS-1 from the U.S. Geological Survey’s distribution center at Sioux Falls, South

The selection of satellites bands with wider frequencies allows a variety of information to travel and decreases the limitation of usage by the users. The Ka-Band (26-40GHz) the communication satellites provides high resolution, close ranges targeting radar on military crafts(TIA,2013). The current suggestion of band would be the Ka-Band (26-40GHz) the communication satellites allows high resolution, close ranges that support strong military functions(TIA,2013). advancements to the developing concept, identify leverage over the other choices, utilizing Ka-bands do propose substantiated risks however, it is still operable (Lewis, 2014). Users offering themselves a band with wider frequency means information can transfer swiftly whereas, a smaller frequency could offer more accuracy but limits the user capability. All forums offer positive attribute and consequential attributes but overall the assessment has to be made by the operation leader. As technology develops engineers are developing ideal that are properly modified to support the needs of the community and excel in

The United States of America relies heavily on its ability to operate in the most contested and most undetermined domain, space. The space domain is one of the newest domains that the United States finds itself contending in, desperate to combat the unknown or unforeseen. The battle ground is the contentious and hugely unknown areas that float above the heavens. The soldiers the best and brightest engineers and physicists that the world has ever known. The front lines are the exponentially long math equations that produce precise launch equations that place objects in orbit around our Earth. Those objects are satellites and their functions are as numerous as the varieties of their uses multiplied by the nations that own them. They control everything from the precise time that is printed on your Starbucks receipt to the exact location that a Tomahawk cruise missile destroys its target. Space based technology is interwoven throughout our government, the military, the U.S. economy, but it’s also provides a level of peace and security to the American people. Even though the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 strictly prohibits the militarization of space, the U.S. Department of Defense has a strategic obligation to protect the U.S. Space Program from its near peer adversaries because of the impacts on the global economy and to the security of United States citizens.

Besides the development of nuclear weapons, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM’s) were introduced in the 1950’s providing a more effective strategic delivery system during the first stage of the Cold War. It is not a surprised the Soviet Union had missiles able to reach any part of the planet when they launched the Sputnik satellite into space on October 4, 1957. Three months after the launch of Sputnik, on January 1958, the United States launched their first satellite, Explorer

2,271 satellites in space right now according to The Goddard Space Flight Center's lists. Satellites are helping astronauts discover new things and uncover mysteries. The first satellite that was put into orbit was about sixty years ago. Space exploration is a big debate right now. About half of the U.S population wants the money to go to another organization, rather than space, and the other half thinks the money that is being spent in space, is where it needs to be going. Space exploration is beneficial because NASA missions are not using as much of the U.S budget Americans think they are, and medical and health fields are becoming even more advanced through the NASA missions.

We have dreamt of spaceflight since ancient times. Humans have developed and thought of many ways to acquire this immense feat and it wasn’t till the 20th century mankind were able to build rockets powerful enough to overcome the force of gravity. Since then, we’ve successfully sent mankind to the moon, rovers to mars and space probes deep into the reaches of our solar system. Nations have striven to advance and attain great heights in the field of space exploration. The constant competitiveness between USA and USSR during the cold war led to many major breakthroughs in the history of space exploration beginning with USSR launching the first international space station and USA successfully landing a human on the moon. The international space station (ISS) stands as the basis of how international collaboration can affect space exploration. Even though some nations are unwilling to work together, space exploration provides a platform for nations to form relationships that benefits one another and create beneficial relationships with each other.

This peer-reviewed journal article talks about the positive consequences of developments in future space exploration in scientific perspective. The author states the development of future space exploration by using resources from the solar system will produce varies beneficial results, such as space tourism, asteroid resources, and so on. The main beneficiary among all the others is science. Supported by space resources, the growth of space economy can provide the cost of building scientific instruments, outposts, and infrastructures in space. Improvement in scientific technology leads to further discoveries and knowledge. Which shows the symbiotic relationship existed between science and space resources.

Space exploration refers to the exploration and discovery of outer space’s celestial structures by means of the ever-growing space technology, which is continuously evolving. Space physical exploration is conducted by using unmanned robotic probes. Human spaceflight is also used for space exploration. The history of space exploration dates back to the 20th century when the world’ most powerful states such as Russia and the United states scrambled for superiority. Space exploration therefore became a sense of pride and extreme manpower leading to development of space vehicles, which attempted to reach space. The space exploration programs were conducted by government space agencies mainly of the United States and Soviet Union due to the sensitivity and huge finances involved. With time, private organizations began to purchase and offer space launches, laying ground for private space flight. Satellite radio, communications satellites, astronaut transport, satellite television and sub-orbital space tourism comprise the Earth orbit’s private space lift.

Outer space is mankind’s common heritage, so all the countries must have equal access to the outer space. In the past few decades science and technology have freed from the boundaries of earth and making its way in to space.
