The Space Shuttle takes off on a manned mission to space.
Running almost in tandem with the Atomic Age has been the Space Age.American Robert Goddard was one of the first scientists to experiment with rocket propulsion systems.In his small laboratory in Worcester,Massachusetts,Goddard worked with liquid oxygen and gasoline to propel rockets into the atmosphere,and in 1926 successfully fired the world's first liquid-fuel rocket which reached a height of 12.5 meters.Over the next 10 years,Goddard's rockets achieved modest altitudes of nearly two kilometers,and interest in rocketry increased in the United States,Britain,Germany,and the Soviet Union.
As Allied forces advanced during World War II,both the American and Russian forces searched for top German scientists who could be claimed as "spoils" for their country.The American effort to bring home German rocket technology in Operation Paperclip,and the bringing of German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun (who would later sit at the head of NASA) stand out in particular.
Expendable rockets provided the means for launching artificial satellites,as well as manned spacecraft.In 1957 the Soviet Union launched the first satellite,Sputnik I,and the United States followed with Explorer I in 1958.The first manned space flights were made in early 1961,first by Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and then by American astronaut Alan Shepard.
From those first tentative steps,to the 1969 Apollo program landing on the Moon,to today's reusable Space Shuttle,the American space program has brought forth a breathtaking display of applied science.Communications satellites transmit computer data,telephone calls,and radio and television broadcasts.Weather satellites furnish the data necessary to provide early warnings of severe storms.Global positioning satellites were first developed in the US starting in about 1972,and the first complete installation of 24 satellites were in place by 1994.
For the past 80 years,the United States has been integral in fundamental advances in telecommunications and technology.For example,AT&T's Bell Laboratories spearheaded the American technological revolution with a series of inventions including the light emitted diode (LED),the transistor,the C programming language,and the UNIX computer operating system.SRI International and Xerox PARC in Silicon Valley helped give birth to the personal computer industry,while ARPA and NASA funded the development of the ARPANET and the Internet.

航天飞机带着载人探测任务起飞
与原子时代几乎处于同一时代,美国人Robert Goddard是第一批进行火箭推进系统的实验的科学家之一.在Worcester,Massachusetts的一个小实验室里,Goddard用液氧和汽油进行火箭弹推进实验,并在1926年第一次将液体燃料火箭成功升空至12.5米的高处.之后的10年,Goddard的火箭可以达到近2000米的适中的高度,并使美国,英国,德国和苏联对此引起兴趣.
随着同盟军在二次世界大战中的增长,美国和苏联大力搜寻可能对于本国是战利品的德国顶级科学家.在别针运动中,美国人费尽力气将火箭工程技术带回了本国,并使得德国火箭工程科学家Wernher von Braun成为当时最为耀眼的人（之后他成为了美国航空航天局的负责人）
火箭有的用于发射人造卫星的之后直接报废掉,也有的作为满载宇航员的航天器.1957年苏联发射了第一颗人造卫星----Sputnik1号,紧随其后1958年美国发射了探测器.1961年初期,苏联宇航员Yuri Gagarin完成了第一次载人太空飞行,紧随其后的是美国宇航员Alan Shepard.
从迈出第一步,到1969年阿波罗登月成功,再到今天航天飞船的可重复使用,美国太空计划在应用科学上取得了令世人瞩目的成就.通讯卫星用于传输电脑数据,电话信号以及无线电和电视广播.美国在1972年首先开始研究全球定位系统卫星,并于1994年第一次完成24颗人造卫星的安装定位.
在过去的80年里,美国在通信电子学领域拥有了完整的电子通讯技术.例如,AT&T's Bell 实验室在美国率先进行了一系列革命性的发明创造,包括发光二极管、三极管、C语言编程,UNIX的计算机的操作系统.在SRI国际和组织帕洛阿尔托研究所的帮助下,美国硅谷诞生了个人的计算机产业,而美国国防部高级研究计划局和美国航空航天局提供基金发展了阿帕网络和国际互联网.
