Spaceflight Timeline: The Beginning

Oct 1957 Jan 1958 Oct 1958 April 1961 May 1961 May 1961

Sputnik, the first artificial satellite is launched by the Soviet Union Explorer 1, the first US satellite is launched into orbit NASA is formed and announces plans to launch a human into space

The Soviet Union’s Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man in space

Why Go To Space?

SLIDE 15

15

Why Go to Space? (2)

The initial reasons had a lot to do with curiosity and the need to

explore

Jules Verne’s 1865 novel “From the Earth to the Moon” had an

enormous impact on popular culture and excited the people about traveling into space

As science and rocket technology advanced, an idea was

formed in 1952, by the International Council of Scientific Unions to foster scientific discovery

They named the undertaking the International Geophysical Year

(IGY) and set the duration of the year from 1 July 1957 to 31 Dec 1958.

The IGY was embraced by 67 countries including the US and

USSR and they adopted a resolution calling for artificial satellites to be launched during the period to map the earth’s surface

SLIDE 16

16

Why Go to Space? The Cold War as Context

Post WWII the US and the Soviet Union entered into an era of

intense mutual distrust and enmity called The Cold War

It was a clash of very different beliefs and ideology – capitalism

versus communism – each side holding strong convictions. It became an East versus West competition.

Soon on both sides the quest to develop ballistic missiles had a

military and national security mandate

The two men who would play pivotal roles had been inspired by

Jules Verne and they dreamed of space travel. But first, they were designing ballistic missiles for their nations:

Sergei Korolev (Soviet Union – The R-7 Rocket)
Wernher von Braun (US – the Redstone Rocket)
Korolev used the R-7, the world’s first intercontinental ballistic

missile, to launch Sputnik, and von Braun used the Redstone, an intermediate ballistic missile to launch Explorer I

Korolev Von Braun

SLIDE 17

17

Space Spectaculars Influence the Decision Makers

WHY SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON SPACE?

The Soviet firsts in space created a huge propaganda boost during the Cold War

and Soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev exploited that lead using the huge lifting ability of the R-7 and continually topped the US space efforts with what became known as “Space Spectaculars,” including the first man in space

First President Eisenhower, then President Kennedy had to respond, or fall behind

the east-west battle for the hearts and minds of non-aligned countries . . .

RESULTING IN A SPACE RACE

President Kennedy’s decision to

the go to the moon was not born

ut of the need to explore; it was

the result of politics and prestige during the Cold War

Space 1970s: After the Moon Race

The Soviet Union expanded use of the Soyuz spacecraft and created the Salyut space station program (1971 – 1986) The Nixon Administration cut NASA’s budget but approved the Space Shuttle Program in a effort to reduce the cost of space travel (April 1972) Apollo missions 18, 19 and 20 were cancelled and NASA used Apollo hardware for the Skylab program (1973 – 1974) Détente and easing of the Cold War led to the Apollo- Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) and the first joint space mission (July 1975)

After the moon race, both the US ($24 billion) and the Soviet Union ($5 to $10 billion) aimed to reduce the cost of their space programs.

SLIDE 21

21

Late 1960’s and early 1970’s, NASA leadership is exploring
ptions for a post-Apollo space program
NASA had grand ambitions; with orbiting space stations,

missions to Mars and nuclear powered spacecraft

The agency’s ambitions ran directly into political and

financial realities

The Space Shuttle’s Origins: Why the Need?

With the successful moon landings, it was the end of the first era
f human spaceflight
The Nixon administration and Congress supported a human space

flight program; they just wanted a far less expensive version

NASA leadership opted for a reusable space transportation system

. . . “No law says space must be expensive“

Goal - Lower the costs of getting into space ($100 per pound)

The Space Shuttle Legacy

Following the Columbia accident in 2003, the second fatal shuttle

tragedy, the decision was made to retire the Space Shuttle as soon as the International Space Station assembly was completed

The shuttle program ended with the final flight of Atlantis in July

2011

Although the Shuttle was a remarkable flying machine—rocket,

spacecraft, and glider all in one—it never lived up to the goals of an airline type of operation with low operating costs

The original cost estimates were based on turnarounds of two

weeks and the economies of scale of 55 flights per year

Its complexity and reusability required a massive support

infrastructure of facilities and people to keep it flying safely

It never achieved more than nine flights in a year (1985)
The entire Shuttle program (including R & D) cost $174 billion,

averaging almost $1.3 billion per flight

The Record

30 years of operation
135 flights
1,300 days in space
530 million miles traveled
3 million pounds delivered to

NASA’s COTS Program

With the decision to end the

shuttle program, Mike Griffin the NASA Administrator in 2005, he challenged U.S. private industry to develop cargo and eventually crew space transportation capabilities that could meet the needs of ISS

This was expanded under the

Obama Administration

NASA’s traditional approach was

to create government owned and

perated systems, working in a

government/contractor relationship with industry.

To help stimulate commercial spaceflight, the Commercial Crew & Cargo Program employs a

different strategy where industry creates privately owned and operated space transportation systems, with NASA serving as a lead investor and customer of transportation services. https://www.nasa.gov/commercial-orbital-transportation-services-cots
