    Astronomy is the study of natural objects in the sky. Ancient astronomers from cultures like Greece, China, and India made early observations of celestial objects but it was not until Copernicus that it was established that the Sun is the center of our solar system, not Earth. Developments in space exploration include the first satellites by the USSR and US in the 1950s, the first human spaceflight and moon landing by the US in the 1960s, and the ongoing International Space Station project expected to be completed in 2006.

    10.1 Developments in Field of
    Astronomy and Space Exploration
    1. Astronomy is the field of study about natural
    objects in the sky.
    2. Ancient astronomers from the Middle East,
    China and India had made observations about
    the movements of the Sun, stars and Moon.
    3. Ancient astronomers like the Greeks had tried
    to explain the movements of planets and
    stars.
    ͻ By Ptolemy,an egyptian astronomer
    'th century
    ͻ Earth is the center of the Universe &
    B.C the Sun & stars revolved around it.

    ͻ Aristole put forward Ptolemy͛s belief


    2nd century
    A.D
    ͻ By Copernicus , a Polish astronomer
    ͻ Sun is the center of the Universe &
    16th century planets(include Earth) orbited the Sun.

    ͻ Discovery of Sedna
    Recent
    Developments in Space Exploration

    11th century :
    The Chinese invented
    gunpowder & used 1957: 1st satellite ʹ
    primitive rockets in battles USSR Sputnik

    1961: 1st human


    in orbit-Yuri
    Gagarin aboard
    USSR Vostak 1
    1969: 1st human 3 astronaunts died in a fire
    footstep on the during a test on an Apollo
    moon- US Apollo 11 flight
    1973: 1st Jupiter
    flyby ʹ US Pioneer 1
    1970: An explosion
    occurred in Apollo 13.
    Astronaunts used lunar
    lander as lifeboat to return
    to Earth

    198': 1st in- 1981: 1st of US space shuttle -


    orbit repair Colombia

    1986: Space shuttle
    Challenger 1989: 1st Neptune flyby- 1990: US launched
    US Voyager 2 Hubble Space
    exploded Telescope from
    space shuttle
    Dicovery

    2000: Malaysian 1st


    microsatellite TiungSAT-1
    launched

    1990:Malaysian
    MEASAT 1 & 2
    2006: Proposed completion of the
    satellites launched
    International Space Station
    Applications of Technology Related to
    Astronomy
    Space Telescope

    An astronomical Telescope by
    sextant
    Galileo Gelilei
    -to measure the
    altitude of stars
    Reflecting Refracting X-ray
    telescope telescope telescope

    Hubble Space Telescope


    -placed in an orbit 500 km above Earth
    surface
    ong March 2 Discovery Saturn V
    Uses rockets(engines in which fuels can burn
    without air)
    As the fuel in a rocket burns,hot gases are
    released at high speed from the nozzle of the
    rocket.
    These produce a force that pushes the rocket
    upwards
    An object that revolves around another object.
    1st-Sputnik 1 (1957)
    1996-M͛sia lauched 2 satellites
    -Malaysia East Asia Satellite(MEASAT 1)
    -MEASAT 2
    Designed for broadcasting & communication services.
    Allow transmission of video,data & voice transmitted
    26.09.2000-M͛sia launched its 1st microsatellite
    TiungSAT-1
    Fitted with cameras which are used for remote sensing
    MEASAT TiungSAT-1
    Gathering & recording of information from a distance
    Remote sensors are fitted on the TiungSAT-1 receive or
    detect visible light,ultraviolet light & even infrared rays given
    out by distant objects .
    Pictures taken from remote sensing cameras are used in:
    -geology for mapping locations of mineral resources
    -agriculture for mapping regions of agricultural development
    -disaster management for identifying pollution & open fires
    -national security management for identifying the intrusion of
    enemy ships,aircraft & other vehicles .
    2 stations that received data from TiungSAT-1 are the
    Planetarium Negara Ground station ,K & Mission Control
    Ground Station(MCGS), Bangi.
    A spacecraft that gathers information & sends
    it back to Earth.
    Travel far into the Solar System & even out of
    Solar Systems .
    It carry cameras & other remote sensing
    equipment, radio transmitters & receivers that
    allow them to communicate with scientists on
    Earth.
    Space Probes
     
    Has living rooms,work & exercise areas,& all the
    equipment & support systems needed for human
    to live & work in space.
    Skylab & Mir are examples of space stations
    But , both of it fell out of orbit & burned up as
    they entered the Earth͛s atmosphere in 1979 &
    2001.
    Now, International Space Station which involves
    16 countries is expected to be completed in 2006

    Reusable spacecraft such as Discovery have


    made space travel less expensive & less
    wasteful.
    Can make multiple trips from the Earth to
    outer space & back .
    20.07.69-Neil Armstrong became the 1st
    human on the Moon
    ͞That͛s one small step for man, one giant leap
    for mankind,͟was the 1st words from Neil
    Armstrong
    Other space missions to the Moon have been
    carried out & hundreds of kilograms of moon
    rocks have been brought back to the Earth for
    scientific analysis

    July 20.1969 ,the p  space flight landed
    the first humans on Earth's Moon.
    carried out by the United States.
    aunched from Florida on July 16
