NASA and 5 greatest scientific achievements in history
1. Telescope Chandra X-ray
Chandra telescope was launched into space in 1999 and the second half is the device plays an important role in the fate of the NASA space conquest. During fifteen years, Chandra gave humanity a unique panoramic view of the universe. It is considered as one of the greatest scientific achievements in the history of NASA.

Chandra X-ray is considered one of the greatest scientific achievements in the history of NASA
Chandra X-ray elliptical orbit to orbit the Earth, offers astronomers a better view of the area to focus greater energy density in the universe where there may be remnants of a supernova explosion. The photos of Chandra helped scientists better understand the universe around (pulsar, form of electromagnetic radiation related to the formation and operation of the death star) and the nebula in space.
Chandra is considered one of the four "great observatories" NASA's three remaining names Spitzer Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.
2. Freedom 7 mission and put the first American to fly in space
Day 5/5/1961, Alan Shepard left the Earth and officially became the first American astronaut to fly into space. It should be noted that Shepard was not the first to fly on Tru dancers were great achievements of the great cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin the Soviet Union.

Historic mission included the first American into space was successfully implemented in 1961
In fact, the moment Alan Shepard into space flight after only 23 days of Gargarin right. And from that moment, Shepard wrote his name into the annals of the great book of NASA for manned flight into space and the first to set the standard for future astronauts to follow his path . Shepard left Earth at 09:34 aboard Freedom 7, his historic flight lasted a total of 15 minutes and 28 seconds.
3. International Space Station ISS
International Space Station ISS construction was started in 1998 and researchers in use since 2000. The group's first crew arrived at the station in 2000 and since then they have lived in places Here, serving for research and space exploration.
NASA and partners from around the world officially completed the entire building the International Space Station in 2011. The astronomers had to study to find out how to live in zero gravity environment, and beyond the completion of future tasks a man on the Moon and Mars.

Referring to the impressive accomplishments of NASA scientists, can not help but mention the International Space Station ISS
Photos of the International Space Station ISS is concrete evidence to claim the mission in space can bring amazing results. Although the International Space Station (ISS) is not the first space station of mankind, but it is certainly the most impressive space station.
4. Apollo 13
On 11.04.1970, the spacecraft Apollo 13 was launched, and after 55 hours and 55 minutes, a terrifying explosion occurred, destroying almost the entire system as well as the equipment necessary to maintain Life on board.
The shocking case started by one of the ship's engine stop activities within two minutes after takeoff. One of the two oxygen tanks exploded and pressure of oxygen tank explosion Monday that further apart. Soon, two of the three compartments of spacecraft fuel stops working. This means that the entire amount of oxygen stored on Apollo 13 was leaking into the space and all the basic support of life such as electricity, water, light, temperature and oxygen are terminated.
The disaster has marked one of the rescue phase great team in the history of mankind. It has been thought to the possibility tragic could happen but finally miracle occurred, the astronauts James Lovell crew-, Fred Hayes and John Swirget survived was considered a miracle.

Apollo disaster marked a phase of great rescue exercise in the history of mankind
The brave, fearless of the men on board with all those involved in the rescue mission is a typical example shows the intelligence and courage of humanity incredible. To sustain life, astronauts almost no food, water and sleep while on the train down to temperatures near the freezing point. In less than six days, the crew is down 31.5 pounds because of dehydration.
While waiting for their perseverance, the technicians at NASA control center has attempted to work tirelessly, finally completed after 6 days thousands selection algorithms and solutions. they have found a way to rescue the astronauts return.
5. Apollo 11
Apollo 1 capital is expected to shuttle the first manned lunar landing, but unfortunately, the spacecraft did not complete this noble mission. The test of the ship is a real disaster, killing all three astronauts due to a fire in the cabin.

Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong set foot put on the moon's great scientific achievements of NASA
Two years later, NASA has run a total of nine trials with a series of projects shuttle. Finally, the shuttle Apollo 11 became the first successful mission to put a man on the moon. When astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the surface of the moon and uttered the legendary words "One small step foot of man, one giant leap for mankind", the whole world was astonished, even some people are skeptical and do not believe in miracles.
Soon, Buzz Aldrin and two others became the next set foot on the Moon. Since the Apollo 11 mission success, only ten astronauts have ever set foot on the only natural satellite of Earth.
