Edward Everett Hale was a stretch her imagination to the limit of infinite extent. He wrote short stories of The Brick Moon, published regularly in "The Atlantic Monthly" in 1869. A fictional story about the "artificial satellite". He wrote about a vehicle from the bricks, about 70 meters in diameter, which was launched into Earth orbit and accidentally carried no humans in it.
Subject space also told Jules Verne science-fiction writer whose imagination much evident today. Verne wrote From Earth to the Moon in 1865, although no mention of artificial satellites, but includes the dream of humans in space. Still about the Moon, Verne, among others, wrote Around the Moon in 1870.
Basic keantariksaan
Only in 1923, born scientist Hermannstadt, Transylvania, Romania, Hermann Oberth, who then lived in Germany, laid the foundations of space technology.
His books, The Rocket into Interplanetary Space (1923) and the Ways to Travel in Space (1929), can be said to be the basis of later development of space technology.
Oberth outlines projects ranging from space rockets and satellites, to the landing on the Moon, planetary studies, the international space station, until the possibility of space transport ship.
From that he learned in medical school, he believes the human body capable of withstanding the load that may arise in space, such as weightlessness or pressure on the body due to extreme acceleration.
Thought followed by H Noordung Oberth (1929) with The Problems of Navigating the World.
Then, begin the history of the space station, highlighted by a "space race" between the United States and the Soviet Union-and so Russia when the Soviet Union broke out in 1991. Like the story of "landing on the Moon" when the Soviet Union sent Sputnik to the moon ahead of the U.S., before U.S. astronaut Edwin Aldrin, set foot on the Moon, about the lab space was also preceded the Soviet Union.
In 1971, the Soviet Union launched the Salyut-1. Two years later, the U.S. Skylab orbit that had visited the three crew members abandoned before 1974. The two countries then "refer" after the Soviet Union launched the Mir and the U.S. to develop Freedom.
In 1993, the two giant countries, Russia and the U.S., agreed to share the duties for the creation of lab space that can be inhabited by humans. So, digabunglah Mir-2 project of the Russian Space Agency (RSA) by Freedom-Agency projects the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
U.S. space shuttle into the carrier needs to build the ISS; starting from the pillar, four circuit elements of solar energy systems, laboratory needs, and modules to the ISS could live human, the system also to "walk in space" (spacewalk).
Russian party to provide, among other things, the landing module (universal docking module). Western European countries-members of the European Space Agency (ESA)-to provide science laboratory Columbus, as well as the vehicle for the transfer of cargo automatic (ATV). In 1998, ISS launched.
Humanitarian Research
Throughout the history of life, humans are always crowded with turmoil; the origins of life, to the possibility of life beyond planet Earth, in space is zero gravity.
For the U.S., based on NASA-related legislation in 2010, there are four areas of research on the ISS, namely health, exploration, enabling technology in future space exploration, scientific research in physics and human life, as well as research for earth science and space.
Beginning last July, Salmonella vaccine research will, Recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccine began in the ISS, also conducted a study of yeast to determine the effects of zero gravity on human cells.
Space exploration continues in the future. To that end, the U.S. has a program for the research community that can be followed by a student under 10 years of age through adolescence.
However, the lifetime of the ISS live 4-9 years. The plan, ISS will be deployed and sunk into the ocean, most rapidly in 2015 and no later than 2020.
According to Deputy Chief of RSA, Vitaly Davydov, termination sacrifice ISS will be done carefully so that the ISS does not become "a dangerous space junk". Russia's Mir sank in the Pacific in 2001, belonging to the U.S. Skylab fell from orbit in 1979.
Today, ISS is the largest spacecraft in history-can be seen with the naked eye from Earth and can live six people. With what the story of human exploration in space will continue is unclear. However, humans will never quit.
