NASA and AARP Celebrate 50 Years of Inspiration, Innovation and Discovery NASA powers Inspiration that encourages future generations to explore, learn, and build a better future. NASA powers Innovation that creates new jobs, new markets, and new technologies . NASA powers Discovery that enables us to learn more about ourselves, our world, and how to manage and protect it.

“ The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join it or not, and it is one of the greatest adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space… We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for all people… We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because the goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills..." President John F. Kennedy Address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Effort September 12, 1962

(MAY 1969) --- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has named these three astronauts as the prime crew of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. Left to right, are Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot.

Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar module pilot, ride the special transport van over to Launch Complex 39A where their spacecraft awaited them. Liftoff was at 9:32 a.m. (EDT), July 16, 1969.

(16 JULY 1969) --- The huge, 363-foot tall Apollo 11 Spacecraft 107/Lunar Module S/Saturn 506) space vehicle is launched from Pad A, Launch Complex 39. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), at 9:32 a.m. (EDT), July 16, 1969. Onboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar module pilot. Apollo 11 is the United States first lunar landing mission. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descend in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Collins will remain with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar-orbit.

(20 July 1969) --- Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar module pilot, descends the steps of the Lunar Module (LM) ladder as he prepares to walk on the Moon. He had just egressed the LM. This photograph was taken by astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, with a 70mm lunar surface camera during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA). While Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the LM "Eagle" to explore the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.

(20 JULY 1969) --- Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar module pilot of the first lunar landing mission, poses for a photograph beside the deployed United States flag during Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity (EVA) on the lunar surface. The Lunar Module (LM) is on the left, and the footprints of the astronauts are clearly visible in the soil of the Moon. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this picture with a 70mm Hasselblad lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the LM the "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar-orbit.

(24 JULY 1969) United States

President Richard M. Nixon was in the central Pacific recovery area to welcome the Apollo 11 astronauts aboard the U.S.S. Hornet, prime recovery ship for the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. Already confined to the Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF) are (left to right) Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. Apollo 11 splashed down at 11:49 a.m. (CDT), July 24, 1969, about 812 nautical miles southwest of Hawaii and only 12 nautical miles from the U.S.S. Hornet.

(13 AUGUST 1969) New York City welcomes Apollo 11 crew men in a showering of ticker tape down Broadway and Park Avenue in a parade termed as the largest in the city's history. Pictured in the lead car, from the right, are astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. The three astronauts teamed for the first manned lunar landing, on July 20.1969,

Humankind’s greatest achievement in space occurred at 10:56 p.m. EDT, July 20, 1969, International Space Station is playing a vital role in that preparation as a testbed for when Astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon. The United long-duration space flight. States is working to return astronauts to the moon and to explore other destinations. The International Space Station is playing a vital role in that preparation as a testbed forlong-duration space flight.

Evolution of the NASA Spacesuit See how astronauts' "personal spacecraft" have changed from Mercury to Shuttle and into the future.

Project Mercury John Glenn-1962

Project Gemini Neil Armstrong Gemini-G-2C

First American Spacewalk The Gemini spacesuit was Ed White’s personal spacecraft when he left The Gemini IV capsule for the first American Spacewalk on june,03,1965

FLOATING FREE

In february , 1989, Shuttle astronaut Bruce MacCandless became the first Astronaut to float in space untethered, thanks to a jetpacklike device called the Manned Maneuvering Unit, or MMU MMU’s are no longer used, but Astronauts now wear a similar Backpack device in case of emergency.

NASA, the National Science Foundation and ILC Dover unveiled an Antarcticbound inflatable habitat on Nov. 14, at ILC's facility in Frederica, Del. The habitat, being developed under NASA's Innovative Partnership Program, will be put through its paces as a component of the McMurdo Station in Antarctica from January 2008 through February 2009. Using reports from explorers braving this harsh environment and data collected from habitat sensors, designers will evaluate the concept of using inflatable structures to support future explorers on the moon or Mars.

Atlantis Lowered into Position Atlantis is lowered alongside the external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters in high bay 3 and will be attached to the stack on the mobile launcher platform. After additional preparations are made, the shuttle will be rolled out to Launch Pad 39A to prepare for launch on the STS-125 mission targeted for 1:34 a.m. EDT, Oct. 8.

Not only is the International Space Station (ISS) the most complex scientific and techno-ISS is a partnership of five space agencies—NASA, Roskosmos (Russia), the European logical endeavor ever undertaken, it is a shining example of international cooperation. The Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.

With a permanent human presence aboard the International Space Station (ISS), flight keep a constant watch on the crew’s activities and monitor spacecraft systems, crew control teams at the Mission Control Center in Houston and the Mission Control Center health and safety as they check every system to ensure operations proceed as planned. in Moscow are on duty 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Building and maintaining the International Space Station (ISS) requires crew members to to take place during the ISS assembly. To prepare for the spacewalks, crew members train conduct extravehicular activities (spacewalks). More than 130 spacewalks are scheduled in a 6.2-million-gallon pool at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) in Houston, Texas.
