The Saturn V, the rocket that took the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. The rocket broke into 3 parts, one with fuel, the command module and the lunar module. Rockets only lasted for one mission, part of the Saturn V is still floating through space and part of it is at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean

The First Pictures of Mars • The American Viking 1 (1976) space craft captured the images of the Red planet It worked up until 1982 when NASA scientists made a mistake reprogramming the batteries
Voyager 1 and 2 (1977) • These two spacecraft were sent into space in 1977 • They were sent at a time when the planets were almost aligned (this speeded them up)

The Space Shuttle (1981) • • 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The Hubble Telescope (1990) • Can see objects 14 billion years ago • It had to be repaired in space in 1993 • It has produced images of Stars being born and dying
The Eagle Nebula is 7, 000 light years away
The Horsehead nebula, 1, 500 light years away
The Cat’s Eye Nebula, 3. 3 kilo Light Years away
Andromeda Galaxy
Columbia (2003) • http: //news. bbc. co. uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/1/newsid_3416000/3416589. stm (BBC News Coverage) • The Space Shuttle Columbia burned up on re-entry to the Earths atmosphere • A ceramic heat tile has become loose on take-off • Seven astronauts were killed • Debris from the explosion landed in car parks, forests and even a dentist’s office • Columbia was launched 22 years ago as the first space shuttle
