The Explorer 1
After a series of failures The explorer 1 became the first U.S. satellite in space during this mission, Explorer 1 carries an experiment designed by James A.Van Allen, a physicist at the University of Iowa, which documents the existence of radiation zones encircling Earth within the planet’s magnetic field. -
Luna 3
Was soviet spacecraft launched in 1959 as a part of the luna programme. it was the first-ever mission to photogragh the far side of the moon. -
Trios 1
It was the first successful low-earth orbital weather satellite, and Weighing 270 pounds, it was made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel spacecraft is 42 inches in diameter and 19 inches high and is covered by 9,200 solar cells, which serve to charge the onboard batteries. Magnetic tape recorders, one for each of two television cameras, store photographs while the satellite is out of range of the ground station network. -
Freedom 7
astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. becomes the second human in space Launched from Cape Canaveral by a Mercury Red stone rocket, Freedom 7 the first piloted Mercury spacecraft reaches an altitude of 115 nautical miles and a speed of 5,100 miles per hour before splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean.In the 15 minute flight Shepard demonstrated the we can control vehicle during weightlessness and high G stress. -
Ranger 1
Ranger 1 was a spacecraft which its main mission was to test the performance of the functions and parts necessary for carrying out the mission using essentially the same spacecraft design. its secondary objective was to study the nature of particles and fields in interplanetary space. -

Ranger's 2&3
ranger 2 was like its predecessor was built to test flight systems for a future lunar mission. However, it was similarly unsuccessful due to a malfunction with its booster rocket. The malfunction caused Ranger 2 to be trapped in low-Earth orbit before burning up in Earth's atmosphere two days after launch. Ranger 3 was NASA's first attempt to land a spacecraft on the moon. The spacecraft was designed to transmit up-close photos of the lunar surface but failed instead it flew past the moon -

Vostok 6- Valentina tereshkova
Vostok 6, the last spaceship in the USSRs first manned flight series, carried Valentina V. a life reinforcement system, systems, and an expulsion seat were contained in the manned cabin. This cabin was attached to a help faculty that carried petrochemical batteries, and added reinforcement systems for the aggregate system. for most of this time, Vostok 6 flew with Vostok 5 maintaining bipartisan radiocommunication communications and establishing communications with earth at regular periods. -

Apollo 8
The first crewed spacecraft to leave low earth orbit and return. The astronauts were Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., and William A. Anders. As they were heading towards the moon the toke television cameras on earth and they could see the planet and become surprised. -
Apollo 11
Extra flight targets included logical investigation by the lunar module, or LM, group arrangement of a TV camera to communicate signs to Earth; This was to be the last Apollo mission to fly a "free-return" direction, which would empower a re-visitation of Earth with no motor terminating, giving a prepared prematurely end of the mission whenever preceding lunar circle inclusion.
