Sub-Orbital Space Flights & Satellite Exploration
Explorations this time tells the story of our place in space. Our desire to explore space began with our eyes. The more we saw, the more it fired our ambitions. Experimenting with lenses in his native Florence, Italian Galileo Galilei developed a powerful telescope. Suddenly, planets like Jupiter and its moons, 400 million miles away were at our fingertips We discovered the universe was greater than wed ever imagined. Our sense of place in the cosmos changed forever as telescopes exposed the universes most amazing secrets. Now, with the space telescope Hubble we can see almost 200 trillion times further than Galileos first telescope. And that has made us ask new questions.

Explorations this time tells the story of our place in space. At the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, scientists are engaged in one of the most important quests of modern astronomy. They’re scanning the universe for new planets. Planets that might support life now or in the future. Planets that might be like earth. Our desire to reach out into space is a compulsion. The more we soar, the greater that compulsion. In the 1970s, after decades of careful planning, 4 probes, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager One, and Voyager 2 were sent on missions to the outer limits of our solar system. Their journeys would last almost 30 years, and cover more than 8 billion miles. These probes brought mankind astonishing images of the planets in our solar system. Mankinds first giant leap was made with hot air in balloons. Tied to balloons, man could leave the ground and travel higher than ever before. In 1960, a balloon carrying US airforce captain Joe Kittinger ascended to the edge of space, some 100000 feet off the ground. Then he jumped out. In 4 minutes, Kittinger reached the speed of sound
