ASTR 1010 - Out of this World: NASA’s Orbiters, Landers, and Space Missions (1CR)
(1L) There is more to the NASA space program than the recently mothballed space shuttle program. We will discuss NASA’s unsung mechanical heroes and examine the orbiters, satellites, and rovers that delved deep into the solar system and beyond. These machines pushed the boundaries of space and contributed to fantastic astronomical discoveries in the 20th and 21st centuries. We will explore space mission developments from the 1950s to the present time. As we progress from decade to decade, we will examine some of the significant discoveries that have transformed our view of the universe and elevated our understanding of the astrophysical world.
