Space History

MAVEN is a 2013 American spacecraft intended to study the loss of Mars' atmospheric gases to space and provide insight into the planet's climate and water history.

Gemini XII was the 10th and final crewed Gemini flight, commanded by NASA veteran James A. Lovell and rookie Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.

The Venera program was a series of space probes developed by the Soviet Union between 1961 and 1984 to gather information about Venus.

2001 Mars Odyssey is a robotic spacecraft project developed by NASA that was sent to orbit Mars to detect evidence of past or present water and ice, and to study Mars' radiation environment and geology.

Apollo 7 was the first crewed flight in the Apollo program after the Apollo 1 disaster that occurred during a launch test. It was crewed by Commander Walter M. Schirra, command module pilot Donn F. Eisele, and lunar module pilot R. Walter Cunningham

Dawn is a retired space probe that NASA launched in September 2007 to study Ceres and Vesta, two of the three known protoplanets of the asteroid belt

Gemini XI was the ninth crewed spaceflight in the Gemini project, which flew from September 12 to 15, 1966 and saw the first-ever direct-ascent rendezvous with an Agena Target Vehicle.

Genesis was a NASA sample-return space probe that collected and returned solar wind particles for analysis. It was the first NASA sample-return mission since the Apollo program to return material and the first to return material from beyond the Moon.

Gemini V was a crewed spaceflight in NASA's Project Gemini that launched on August 21, 1965. Gemini V marked the first time an American crewed space mission held the world record for flight duration when L. Gordon Cooper Jr and Charles Conrad Jr broke the Soviet Union's previous record set by Vostok 5 in 1963.

Vostok 2 was a space mission that took Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov into orbit for a full day on August 6, 1961. This mission aimed to study the effects weightlessness had on the human body over a prolonged period.
