The human have ever dreamed a long time ago to go beyond Earth, but that did not happen except recently after he developed the space travel technology modern facilities.
In order to break down the so-called "Earth Gravity," it was imperative to develop the modern rocket ignition engines, The human started to discover space by launching small bodies called satellites or Industrial accessories, in orbit around Earth. The Russians had their first satellite in 1957 called "Spot-neck". Satellites used for many complicated different purposes:
1- To collect information about the Sun, Planets, Stars & other mysterious objects in the known universe.
2- To study Earth Climate, Earth geology, movements of living beings and animal immigration.
3- Used to connect people with each other through communication devices and provide route information.
"Tel-star" the first is a satellite that was launched in 1962, it has accomplished the first TV direct connection between Europe and the United States, followed by the "Early-Bird" satellites with a better design and it was very important for international transportation.
In 1961 the Russians have launched the first space shuttle driven by Cosmonaut "Yuri Gagarin" and he orbited Earth with it for one time, followed by "John Glenn" as the first American orbits around Earth in 1962.
The Russians started to study the Moon using the "Lunick" space vehicles. in 1959 the "Lunick" space vehicles have sent 3 images of the dark side of the Moon to Earth. later in the 60s Russia have focused on solving orbiting an Earth flyby issues but also kept on studying the Moon with its famous uninhabited spacecraft "Lunick".
The Americans tried to be the first who invade the Moon, they used Mercury vehicles with one astronaut, and "Gemini" led by tow astronauts in order to study space flyby issue like Micro-gravity effect on space astronauts in long space rides.
Many spacecraft has been launched as Ranger & surveyor to the Moon as preparation for the famous inhabited Apollo missions. In 1969 the United States has sent the Apollo 11 Mission to the Moon, Driven by the two famous Astronauts "Neil Armstrong & Edwin Aldrin" they were the first humans to walk on the surface of the Moon.

The United States, Also Russia both have sent uninhabited spacecraft to other space figures like Venus and Mars and those spacecraft has sent back a lot of amazing images and very specific information of these planets surface nature. in 1975 the Americans sent an uninhabited spacecraft to Mars called "Viking" also Russians sent a similar spacecraft to the planet in an endless race of curiosity and collecting information.

The United States and the Russian both governments started to issue a cooperation plans to exchange space research information and accomplish together many upcoming space projects.
