Kennedy announced the ambitious goal of sending an American safely to the Moon before the end of the decade. This challenge guided the work of NASA and accelerated technology development through 17 Apollo Missions that took place between the years of 1967 and 1972. The President’s goal was achieved on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong stepped off the Lunar Module's ladder and onto the Moon's surface. This image shows the launch of Apollo 7 in 1968, the first Apollo mission to carry a crew into space. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/6870605/6870605.dc.xml Tue, 01 Oct 1968 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Aerobee_Rocket/Aerobee_Rocket.dc.xml The Aerobee was a small, unguided sub-orbital sounding rocket, which is a rocket that carries research instruments. The Aerobees were used for high atmospheric and cosmic radiation research in the United States in the 1950s. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Aerobee_Rocket/Aerobee_Rocket.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/V-2-rocket-at-White-Sands/V-2-rocket-at-White-Sands.dc.xml As the Army set to work with V-2 rockets at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, scientific users were invited to fill the space of the 2000-pound warhead with instruments. E.O. Hulburt at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Optics Division jumped at the chance. Between 1946 and 1951, the NRL undertook 80 experiments using V-2 rockets that provided new and valuable information about the nature of Earth's upper atmosphere and ionosphere. The first launch, on October 10, 1946, delivered the first recorded solar spectrum of the Sun from above Earth's atmosphere. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/V-2-rocket-at-White-Sands/V-2-rocket-at-White-Sands.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/VERT-12/VERT-12.dc.xml The sounding rocket took 15 minute flights to 240 km altitude and would land by parachute. This is the first test of the microcalorimeter in space. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/VERT-12/VERT-12.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Robert_Hutchings_Goddard/Robert_Hutchings_Goddard.dc.xml Dr. Goddard and liquid oxygen-gasoline rocket in the frame from which it was fired on March 16, 1926, at Auburn, Massachusetts. It flew for only 2.5 seconds, climbed 41 feet, and landed 184 feet away in a cabbage patch. From 1930 to 1941, Dr. Goddard made substantial progress in the development of progressively larger rockets, which attained altitudes of 7800 feet. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Robert_Hutchings_Goddard/Robert_Hutchings_Goddard.dc.xml Sun, 09 Apr 1905 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/S-IC_engines_and_Von_Braun/S-IC_engines_and_Von_Braun.dc.xml A pioneer of America's space program, Dr. von Braun stands by the five F-1 engines of the Saturn V Dynamic Test Vehicle on display at the U.S. Space And Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, circa 1969. Dr. von Braun served as the first director of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and was the chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle, the superbooster that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/S-IC_engines_and_Von_Braun/S-IC_engines_and_Von_Braun.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/uhuruLaunch-72/uhuruLaunch-72.dc.xml Awaiting launch from the San Marco Platform in Kenya, Uhuru was the first satellite specifically for the purpose of X-ray astronomy. It was also known as the X-ray Explorer Satellite SAS-A, for Small Astronomy Satellite A, being first of the three-spacecraft SAS series. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/uhuruLaunch-72/uhuruLaunch-72.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT
