What is space exploration 什么是太空探索
Space exploration is the use of astronomy and space technology to explore outer space. Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights and by robotic spacecraft. While the observation of objects in space, known as astronomy, predates reliable recorded history, it was the development of large and relatively efficient rockets during the early 20th century that allowed physical space exploration to become a reality. Common rationales for exploring space include advancing scientific research, uniting different nations, ensuring the future survival of humanity and developing military and strategic advantages against other countries. Various criticisms of space exploration are sometimes made.
Space exploration has often been used as a proxy competition for geopolitical rivalries such as the Cold War. The early era of space exploration was driven by a "Space Race" between the Soviet Union and the United States； the launch of the first man-made object to orbit the Earth, the USSR's Sputnik 1, on October 4, 1957, and the first Moon landing by the American Apollo 11 craft on July 20, 1969 are often taken as the boundaries for this initial period. The Soviet space program achieved many of the first milestones, including the first living being in orbit in 1957, the first human spaceflight (Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1) in 1961, the first spacewalk (by Aleksei Leonov) in 1965, the first automatic landing on another celestial body in 1966, and the launch of the first space station (Salyut 1) in 1971.
After the first 20 years of exploration, focus shifted from one-off flights to renewable hardware, such as the Space Shuttle program, and from competition to cooperation as with the International Space Station(ISS).
In the 2000s, the People's Republic of China initiated a successful manned spaceflight program, while the European Union, Japan, and India have also planned future manned space missions. China, Russia, Japan, and India have advocated manned missions to the Moon during the 21st century, while the European Union has advocated manned missions to both the Moon and Mars during the 21st century. From the 1990s onwards, private interests began promoting space tourism and then private space exploration of the Moon.
In the 2000s, several plans for space exploration were announced； both government entities and the private sector have space exploration objectives. The NASA Authorization Act of 2010 provides objectives for American space exploration.
和平號空間站（peace space station）（俄語：Mиp，兼有"和平"與"世界"之意）是前蘇聯(lián)建造的一個軌道空間站（orbital space station），蘇聯(lián)解體后歸俄羅斯。它是人類首個可長期居住的空間研究中心，同時也是首個第三代空間站。經(jīng)過數(shù)年由多個模塊（module）在軌道上組裝而成。
通過多國合作，和平號空間站曾經(jīng)接待過多國的宇航員（astronaut）。值得一提的是和平號航天飛機計劃，在此期間美國的航天飛機共拜訪空間站11次，帶來補給以及乘員替換。和平號由多個模塊在軌道上組裝而成，首個模塊于1986年2月19日發(fā)射升空，其后至1996年的十年時間之中，其他多個模塊相繼升空。
2000年年底，俄羅斯聯(lián)邦航天局（Russian federal space agency，簡稱RFSA）因和平號部件老化且缺乏維修經(jīng)費，決定將其墜毀。和平號最終于2001年3月23日墜入地球大氣層，碎片落入南太平洋海域中。和平號的研究任務(wù)今后由國際太空站所取代。
