What were the primary contributions of Dr. Robert Goddard (3) - ✔✔-Provided the Mathematics
theories for rocket propulsion.
-Developed gyroscope control, vanes, gimball steering, and fuel pumps for rocket fuel
- Proved that rockets can work in a vacuum
How did the German V2 program contribute to U.S Space development? (3) - ✔✔-Wiener Von Braun
defected to the US

US develop space-based ISR? (3) - ✔✔-U2 Dragonlady- High Altitude Surveillance Aricraft
-Progect Genetrix- high Altitude Balloon
-They avoided Over flight issues
Who was the first nation to launch a satellite in space? - ✔✔USSR (Soviet Union) with Spudnik (1957)
Identify the primary goals of the following space programs
Mercury:
Gemini:
Apollo: - ✔✔Mercury- See the effects of space on humans / gather more knowledge
Gemini- Rendezvous and docking & develop skills to go to the moon
Apollo- To land man on moon and bring back to earth
, When did the US launch a satellite into space? Who did it? What was it? (3) - ✔✔-Jan 1958
-US Army
-Explorer 1 with Jupiter-C Satellite

on the ellipse- Orbit of planets are ellipse with the Sun at a focus
2- Law of Area- Apogee= slow, Perigee= Fast- Orbit of planets sweep out equal areas in equal time
3- Law of Periods- Larger the orbit longer the period- The period is proportional to the cube of the
average distance to the sun
Define the six classical orbital elements (6) - ✔✔-a= Orbit Size= Semi Main Axis
-e= Orbit Shape= eccentricies (0= circular; 0< e < 1= ellipse
-I= Orbit Tilt= Inclination (0= geosynchronous; 59= GPS, 1-90= Prograde; 91-180= Retrograde)
-Omega= Orbit Twist= Right of ascending node @ equator plane
-w= Orbit Rotation= Argument of Perigee(relates to Ascending node
-v= Satellite Position= true anomaly ( relates to perigee.
Define basic terms that describes an orbit? (5) - ✔✔-Apogee- Further away from earth the slower
-Perigees- Closer to earth the faster
-Prograde- Rotating with earths rotation (CCW)
-Retrograde- Rotating against earths rotation (CW)
