USA and Russia: fight for space.

Aims of my research are:

-to enquire more information about Space Race

-to compare the development of space exploration in the USA and Russia and

to choose the leader in fight for space

To achieve these aims I need :

-to track the development of America`s and Russia`s space program with the help of scientific articles, books and documents,

-to research the reasons for development of these two systems

-to compare the achievements of these two countries at the present stage

The meaning of space exploration - The development of science, creating of new materials and technical

AIDS

- Studying of capabilities of the human and other biological organisms

- Studying planets of our solar system as a proposed place to live

- Studying the nearest planets as a proposed place to dig mineral wealth

- An opportunity to creation of army`s bases, that can give politics superiority

National agencies, studying space exploration:

-Agencies of the advanced defensive research projects — DARPA;

- National administration on aeronautics and space research — NASA;

- Roscosmos

Russia: the leader of the space exploration

- The first satellite system- The first spasecraft with animal- The first spacecraft with the man- The first spacecraft near moon- The first woman in space- The first man into open space- The record of time, spending in flights- The longest piloted spaceflight- the unique opportunity to send people on orbit nowadays

The future of space exploration

- Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program to explore the solar system and beyond

- Extending human presence across the solar system, starting with a human return to the Moon by the year

2020

- Mars program

- Returning to Venus: Venera D

Conclusion During my research, I compared the

development of space exploration in the USA and Russia and choosed the leader in fight for space. I found out, that the Space Race played an important role science development.

Both countries made a technological revolution in quite small period of time.

But in my opinion, Russia is the leader nowadays.

Thank you for

attention!
