Milestones in Space and Ocean Exploration: The Apollo Project to Dextre

This timeline highlights key technologies and milestones in space and ocean exploration from the Apollo Project in 1961, which aimed to put astronauts on the Moon using the Saturn V rocket, to the deep-sea submersible Alvin, capable of diving over 14,000 feet. It also covers the iconic Canadarm robotic arm from 1981, the groundbreaking Hubble Telescope launched in 1990, and RADARSAT-1 which began Earth observation in 1995. The timeline concludes with Dextre, a robotic arm for the ISS, introduced in 2010, showcasing advances in unmanned space operations.

  1. Technology Timeline By Sandee Park

  2. Apollo Project/Program Date of First Use: 1961 The Apollo Project was a program that would send astronauts to the Moon. This mission was sent up by a rocket called Saturn V ( the largest rocket sent up in space). This progam all started when Sputnik 1 satellite was sent up in space, this was the space race. NASA and RFSA were desperate to get astronauts to the moon this is when Apollo Project started.

  3. Alvin Date of First Use:1964 Alvin is a submersible that allows three scientist explore the deep ocean. Alvin’s first plunge was only 35ft. under water. After several upgrades and reconstruction, Alvin can now plunge 14,764ft. under water. It has a 6-mi range, a cruising speed of 1 knot and a maximum speed of 2 knots. It is propelled by five hydraulic thrusters and features an electrical system powered by lead-acid batteries.

  4. Canadarm Date of First Use: 1981 Canadarm is the most famous robotic arm. made its space debut on the Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-2) on November 13, 1981. The design and building of the arm, also known as the Shuttle Remote Manipulators System was closed by NASA. Candarm is going to continue helping the astronauts.

  5. Hubble Telescope Date of First Use:1990 Hubble Telescope is the most successful mission launched into space. Hubble Telescope work like this: it receives light beams from the sun and reflects it of to the lens and let the telescope take pictures. This telescope so far had one minor failure fixed by Canadarm.

  6. RADARSAT-1 Date of First Use:1995 RADARSAT-1 is a satellite. RADARSAT-1 has proven to be an invaluable source of Earth observation data. The satellite's images are used internationally to manage and monitor the Earth's resources and to monitor global climate change.

  7. Thermal Plasma Analyzer Date of First Use:1998 Thermal Plasma Analyzer was a failed mission which was the Nozomi. This TPA was the technology that was going to help scientists identify different gas layer of the Marian layer.

  8. Dextre Date of First Use: 2010 Dextre is the second robotic arm that was sent up to help ISS. This technology does not need Astronauts to control the arms. All they need is a mission control to control the arms. It also has a tool box to fix certain objects in space.
