Introductions• The reasons why we choose this topics

Myths and mysterious in astronomy support science effort to explore space

Successful launch of ShenZhou-5 have increased our interest in space technology

Development of space technology is very important in 21st century and we also care about it

International Space Station

• Programme between USA,USSR, Canada, Japan and EU…etc

• For global development and operation

• Test new technologies in the real space environment

Other Space Stations

• To prove that humans could live and work in space for a long period of time

• Expands our knowledge of solar astronomy

• Provides docking ports for modules to attach

Russia’s Mir Station

American’s Skylab

Mission to Mars

• Carried the Lander Beagle 2 to Mars

• Designed to take pictures and examine rocks and oil

Mars

Mission to Mars• both looking for

evidence that water was once on Mars

• To test if there is water on Mars

• Helps to analyze rocks on Mars

Benefit of Space Technology

• Providing updated information of space

• Searching for living creatures and resources on other planets

• Produces spin-off product

• Provides latest news and net work for weather forecast and telecommunication

Potential Threats of Space Technology

• Military purpose competition broke out between USA and USSR e.g, Cold War

• Nuclear missiles would be used as weapons in wars

• Space development add as a burden on economic growth

Looking Forward to the Future

• To continue to explore other planets• To build up satellite networks• To continue international co-operations

with other countries• Develops new resources and builds colonies

on other planets• Manned space flight would still remain the

most important program

Conclusion• Discuss the influence of space technology

in different areas

- Military

- Economics

- Politics

- Culture

DiscussionThe relationship between wars and space development is always controversial.

Expenditure of space development can become a burden on economic growth.

Some critics like to use space-race plans as their campaignsTo convince people to vote for them.

Films and fictions about space.
