  • Apollo Program 1 Apollo Program
    Apollo program 1 Apollo program The Apollo program was the third human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the United States' civilian space agency. First conceived during the Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower as a three-man spacecraft to follow the one-man Project Mercury which put the first Americans in space, Apollo was later dedicated to President John F. Kennedy's national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s, which he proposed in a May 25, 1961 address to Congress. Project Mercury was followed by the two-man Project Gemini (1962–66). The first manned flight of Apollo was in 1968 and it succeeded in landing the first humans on Earth's Moon from 1969 through 1972. Kennedy's goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Lunar Module (LM) on the Moon on July 20, 1969 and walked on its surface while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the command spacecraft, and all three landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last in December 1972. In these six spaceflights, 12 men walked on the Moon. Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972, and was supported by the two-man Gemini program which ran concurrently with it from 1962 to 1966. Gemini missions developed some of the space travel techniques that were necessary for the success of the Apollo missions.

Digitaalinen kulttuuri Marraskuu 2019 ________________________________________________________________________________ Tutkielman tarkoitus on selvittää NASAn Apollo-avaruusohjelman edistymiseen liittyviä näkemyksiä sanomalehdissä vuosina 1967–1969. Apollo-ohjelman tavoite oli lähettää ihminen kuuhun ja takaisin maahan ennen 1970-lukua, kuten presidentti John F. Kennedy oli vuonna 1961 ilmoittanut. Apollo-avaruusohjelma kuului osaksi supervaltojen välistä kylmän sodan aikaista avaruuskisaa. Aiheen aikarajaus käsittää Apollo-ohjelman viimeiset vuodet ensimmäiseen kuuhunlaskeutumiseen asti. Aineistona käytetään kahden vaikutusvaltaisen sanomalehden, The New York Timesin ja The Washington Postin sanomalehtiartikkeleita. Tutkimus noudattaa laadullisen tutkimuksen periaatteita.

Nealà Chair of the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG), Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556, USA Received 11 December 2007; accepted 29 July 2008 Abstract With the cancellation of the Apollo program after Apollo 17 returned from the Moon in 1972, the focus of NASA switched to other areas of the Solar System. Study of the Moon did continue through analysis of the returned samples and remotely sensed data sets (both orbital and surface), as well as through Earth-based telescopic studies. In the 1990s, new orbital data were obtained from several missions (fly-by and orbital), the first being Galileo that allowed the lunar farside to be mapped, followed by global mapping by the Clementine and Lunar Prospector missions. Interest in the Moon started to increase at the beginning of the 21st century as other nations focused their space exploration programs on the Moon. The speech by President Bush in January 2004 put the Moon back into the critical exploration path for NASA, paving the way for humans to return to the lunar surface by 2020. This return will be critical for developing technologies and protocols for the eventual human exploration of other parts of the solar system. At the time of writing (June 2008), the SELENE/Kaguya mission (Japan and Chang’e-1 (China) are orbiting the Moon, with Chandrayaan-1 (India) and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (USA) being scheduled to launch later in 2008.

  • Handbook of Public Communication of Science and Technology
    handbook of public communication of science and technology Communicating science and technology has become a priority of many research and policy institutions, a concern of many other private and public bodies, and an estab- lished subject of training and education. In the past few decades the field has devel- oped and expanded significantly, not only in terms of professional practice, but also in terms of research and reflection. As well as introducing the main issues, arenas and professional perspectives involved, this unique volume couples an overview of the pro- blems faced by practitioners with a thorough review of relevant literature and research. The handbook format makes this a student-friendly resource, but its breadth of scope and expert contributors mean it is also ideal for practitioners and professionals working in the field. Combining the contributions of different disciplines and the perspectives of different geographical and cultural contexts, this original text pro- vides an interdisciplinary as well as a global approach to public communication of science and technology. Contributors include mass communication scholars, sociol- ogists, discourse analysts, public relations practitioners, science journalists, and others. It is a valuable resource for students, practitioners and professionals in the fields of media and journalism, sociology, history of science, and science and technology. Massimiano Bucchi is Professor of Sociology of Science at the University of Trento, Italy. He is author of several books including Science and the Media (Routledge, 1998) and Science in Society (Routledge, 2004), and is co-editor of Journalism, Science and Society Relations (with M. Bauer, Routledge, 2007). Brian Trench is Senior Lecturer and former Head of the School of Communications, Dublin City University, Ireland.
