Abstract

Space Age can be defined as beginning with launch of Sputnik 1 on 4 October 1957, from this point on, organised and prolonged activity in space become possible. Launching of Sputnik 1 proved that man-made devices could operate in space long enough to perform useful scientific investigations. Some people think that Space Age is a term applied to a short era of space exploration that culminated in the landing of a man on the Moon.In terms of the 'Ages of Man', we are still in the Space Age and will remain so as long as spacecraft continue to be launched into space.
