The first rockets to reach space were the German A4 (aka V-2) ballistic missiles of World War II. But the first object to reach a stable orbit was the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1 satellite in October, 1957.
Rocket scientists began to develop powerful, liquid-fueled motors in the 1920s, and when they were powerful enough to accelerate past escape velocity (about 25,000 mph), they were able to either achieve orbit or to actually move away from the Earth into outer space.
Eventually, NASA's manned Apollo spacecraft reached the Moon (1968 to 1972), and in 1977, the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft began their long flights past other planets and into interstellar space.

How do scientists currently explore space?
Scientists do research, do test and go into a space vehicle to do experiments. They also go out the space vehicle in space suits.
Why so scientists send unscrewed missions to space?

Explain hubble's function?
To send pictures from space to earth for astronomers and scientists
Why do scientists send unmanned space probes to outer space?
it is so very dangerous to travel if it is not tested by the scientist
Why did scientists send the first animal in space?
To see how the environment and the launch would affect it.
How do scientists send satellites into space?
they used to use the space shuttle but now they use unmaned space craft or the russians/ESA european space agency
What objects have scientists been able to send to space?
All satellites, rovers, manned and unmanned rocketships
What objects have scientists been able to send in to space?
All satellites, rovers, manned and unmanned rocketships
What are the scientists who send space shuttles in space known as?
NASA hires a variety of engineers - Aeronautical, computer and general engineering graduates among others.
What do you send to space to research space?
Scientists send a variety of instruments and equipment to space to research space, such as telescopes, satellites, rovers, and even human astronauts. These tools help gather data on planets, stars, galaxies, and other celestial bodies, as well as study the effects of microgravity and space travel on living organisms.
What do scientists send on the International Space Station to test the effects of microgravity?
Scientists send a variety of items to the International Space Station to test the effects of microgravity, including plant seeds, bacteria, cells, and even small animals like mice. These experiments help researchers understand how living organisms respond to space conditions and how microgravity affects biological systems.
How do scientists study your solar system?
normally they can look at it through a huge telescope or they send a special type of camera into space
