The Earth's orbit - Serdyuk Oleksiy
The aspirations of the human race conquer outer space have their origins in ancient times. Down through the ages, the mysterious starry sky fascinated people.
The first observations of space began thousands of years ago. For a long time, flying into space was just a dream. Many science fiction writers wrote about fantastic flights beyond the Earth.
The twentieth century marked the beginning of the era of space exploration. What scientists and philosophers have dreamed of for hundreds of years has become a reality. A little more than half a century has passed since humans launched the first object created by them into space. Since then, astronautics has leapt ahead. Using outer space is now an integral part of supporting our lifestyles on Earth.
Successes in the conquest of near-Earth space allow scientists to set ambitious and sometimes even fantastic goals for the further development of the vast cosmic space.
