Top 10 Key Space Missions | World General Knowledge Series

Since Russia’s Sputnik 1 satellite entered space on 4 October 1957, thousands of spacecraft – including Earth satellites and deep-space probes – have launched into the cosmos.

Over the last 6 decades, space travel has come on leaps and bounds, with the development of liquid and solid fuels and the use of solar panels and radioactive power sources among many of the impressive innovations, allowing space agencies across the planet to undertake evermore ambitious missions that would once have never been thought possible.

Ten key missions that have advanced the field of space travel to a whole new level are:


Pioneer 10 and 11 (1972 – 2003)

Top 10 Key Space Missions World General Knowledge Series

  • The purpose of NASA’s Pioneer missions was to learn about the outer reaches of the Solar System.
  • These two spacecraft were, at the time of their launch, the most scientifically advanced vehicles to venture into the Solar System.
  • They contained a number of technical instruments that had never been used in space before, which included a charged particle instrument to measure the extent of the Sun’s influence as they travelled towards the edge of the Solar System, and an ultraviolet photometer to determine the composition of Jupiter’s atmosphere.
  • While communication was lost in 2003 (Pioneer 10) and 1995 (Pioneer 11), the probes continue to make their way out of the Solar System, with each possessing an on board plaque detailing the origins of the spacecraft lest they are ever discovered by intelligent life-forms from another world.
  • The Pioneer spacecraft were Earth’s first deep space probes, and held the record for being the furthest man made objects from Earth until they were overtaken by the Voyager probes in the 1990s.

Abu Ali Sina or Avicenna 980 – June 1037

            Abu Ali al-Hussain Ibn Abdallah Ibn Sina was a Persian physician and philosopher. He was born in 980 A.D. at Afshana near Bukhara (in present-day Uzbekistan) then capital of the Samanid Dynasty. He was an encyclopeadist, philosopher, physiologist, physician, mathematician, astronomer, logi1cian and poet. He gained the titles of Shaikh al-Ra’is (leader among the wise men) and Hujjat al-Haq (proof of God), displayed a remarkable aptitude for learning from an early age.

Contributions and Achievements

  • His most important medical works are the Qanun (Canon) and a treatise on cardiac drugs (hitherto unpublished) Qanun contains many examples of good observation – distinction of mediastinitis from pleurisy; contagious nature of phthitis; distribution of diseases by soil and water; careful description of skin troubles, of sexual diseases; and supervisions; of nervous ailments (including love sickness); many psychological and pathological facts clearly analyzed if badly explained.
  • Sina’s interest in mathematics was philosophical rather than technical and such as we would expect in a late Neoplatonist. He explained the casting out of nines and its application to the verification of square and cubes. Many of his writings were devoted to mathematical and astronomical subjects.
  • He composed a translation on Euclid.
  • He made astronomical observations, and devised a contrivance the purpose of which was similar to that of the vernier, that is, to increase the precision of instrumental readings.
  • He made a profound study of various physical questions – motion, contact, force, vacuum, infinity, light, and heat. He observed that if the perception of light is due to the emission of some sort of particles by the luminous source, and speed of light must be finite.
  • He made investigations on specific gravity.
  • He did not believe the possibility of chemical transmutation, because in his opinion the differences of the metals were not superficial, but much deeper; coloring or bronzing the metals does not affect their essence.
