    Space science encompasses the study of space, planets, stars, and other phenomena beyond Earth's atmosphere. It involves fields like astronomy and astrophysics. Key developments include Galileo's astronomical observations with telescopes in the 1600s, understanding that Earth and other planets orbit the Sun, and discoveries of galaxies, nebulae, and other celestial objects. Modern space science involves satellites, space stations like the ISS, and robotic and crewed spaceflight. It provides benefits like weather forecasting, telecommunications, and scientific discoveries with applications for medicine, technology, and more. However, space exploration also presents challenges like needing high rocket speeds to overcome Earth's gravity and navigate the hazards of space.

    WHAT IS SPACE SCIENCE?
    Space science encompasses all of the scientific disciplines that involve space exploration and
    study natural phenomena and physical bodies occurring in outerspace.

    Astronomers Astronauts: Space Sailor

    Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth's atmosphere.


    Is the Space Science Only about
    Rockets,
    Planets,
    Stars,
    Galaxies
    ?????
    Some Outcome of Space Science

    Communication and Entertainment Weather forecasting

    Health Science and Technology


    Some discoveries with Space Science
    Fundamental disease research: Studying cells, organoids, and protein clusters without the influence of gravity – or even the forces of
    container walls – can help researchers get a clearer understanding of their properties, behaviors, and responses to treatments.

    New water purification systems: Efficiently recycling wastewater aboard the space station reduces the need to provide water
    through resupply missions.

    Drug development using protein crystals: Protein crystals grown on Earth are affected by gravity, which may alter the way the
    molecules align on the crystal. Researchers have discovered that growing crystals aboard the space station allows for slower
    growth and higher quality crystals. This high-quality crystallization allows us to identify the structures of disease-causing
    proteins to develop a new medications and effective treatments.

    Growing food in microgravity : New solutions for watering, lighting, and growing plants have to be tested to create a food crop
    in microgravity. The space station has served as a platform for performing these tests, and for verifying what conditions allow
    the plants to grow most effectively.

    WHY WE NEED SPACE SCIENCE?

    It’s a subject that strives to answer the ultimate questions:

    • How did our Earth and our Solar System form and evolve?
    • What is our place in the Universe?
    • Where are we going?
    • Where did life come from, and are we alone?
    • Gain Scientific knowledge and technological advancement.

    EVOLUTION OF SPACE SCIENCE?

    Nicolaus Copernicus, 1543 Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Charles Messier,


    • Earth revolved around the Sun and not vice versa. •The phases of Venus 17th Cenetury
    • Earth rotates on its own axis. •Surface of Moon
    • Church made him recant •Jupiter's moons Concept of Galaxy and
    •The stars of the Milky Way. Milky way
    •The first pendulum clock.
    •Invented Telescope.
    •Observed Solar System.

    Sundial/ Sun Clock


    17-18th century
    GALAXY
    Galaxies are vast cosmic islands of stars, gas,
    dust, and dark matter held together by gravity.
    They are made of billions of stars as well as
    their solar systems.

    Properties of Galaxy
    1. Galaxies come in all shapes and sizes.
    2. Galaxies contain billions of stars.
    3. Galaxies are held together by gravity.
    4. Galaxies can collide with each other.
    5. There are different types of galaxies.

    Can we See galaxy from earth?


    The nearby Andromeda Galaxy, also called M31, is bright enough to be seen by the
    naked eye on dark, moonless nights.
    MILKY WAY AND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
    • Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into
    individual stars with his telescope in 1610

    • Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that


    the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe.

    • The astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis,


    showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies
    Can we See galaxy from earth?

    Jupiter and its two moon

    Different planets observed


    Saturn

    All the Photographs were clicked locally from Mungpoo, Darjeeling using simple DSLR camera and 250 mm Lens
    Why MARS?

    The scientific reasons for going to Mars are

    • the search for life,


    • understanding the surface
    • Understanding the planet's evolution,
    • preparing for future human exploration
    You can observe space and identify different
    planets and galaxies using your Smartphone

    Space Science and Astronauts

    After innovative observations by astronomers, Scientist


    now wanted to travel on Space for which Rocket Science
    Technology came forward.

    However There are various challenges in space


    CHALLENGES OF SPACE

    Space junk and collisions in orbit


    CHALLENGES OF SPACE SCIENCE
    Why do Rockets need high Speed?

    Rocket Fuel: liquid hydrogen


    and liquid oxygen

    To make it safe from the air


    resistance collision aerospace
    grade aluminum or titanium
    since both metals are very
    strong but light weight

    Rocket needs to reach a speed of at least 7.9 km/s


    EVOLUTION OF ROCKET SCIENCE

    Sputnik 1, 1957: The Soviet Union Luna 9, 1966: The Soviet Union
    launches the first artificial satellite, launches the first artificial satellite,
    Sputnik 1, into orbit, beginning the Sputnik 1, into orbit, beginning the

    team led by Wernher von
    Braun develops the V-2, the first
    rocket-powered ballistic missile.

    Fruit Flies, 1947: first animal to


    launch to space with V-2 from, New
    Mexico
    Apollo 11, 1969: Neil Armstrong, landed
    on Moon for the first time.

    EARTHS OWN SATELLITE
    The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite
    SPACE SCIENCE AND SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY

    Technically, satellite is an advanced technology (machine) launched into the space with the purpose to
    revolve around the earth and collected the targeted data

    Types of Satellite

    Communication Satellite
    It is designed largely for the purpose of communication. It contains the Transmitter and Responder; these
    instruments help in transmitting the data.

    Earth Observation Satellite


    This satellite helps in finding the earth’s resources, and also helps in disaster management, etc. So, it is
    basically a remote sensing satellite.

    Navigation Satellite
    Such satellite helps in navigation. So, it is basically a Global Positioning Satellite.

    Weather Satellite
    This satellite is exclusively designed for weather forecast. It has high resolution camera that takes picture
    of weather system and send.
    WHY EVERY COUNTRY IS LAUNCHING THEIR OWN SATELLITE?

    • Technological advancement.

    • Globalization of technology.

    • Strengthening the foundation for economic development.

    • Security purposes.

    • Scientific advancement.

    • Natural Calamites prediction.

    • Remote sensing.
