Document Summary
Lesson 1 study guide: a history of space exploration. The k rm n line is the boundary at which earth"s atmosphere is too thin for air navigation. If an airplane attempted to breach the k rm n line, it would start to fail because the atmosphere is too thin so the lift would be cancelled and the gravity would pull the plane down. If a satellite descended lower than the k rm n line, it would fall to the earth because the air resistance is greater and it would cause the satellite to slow down and eventually crash. K rm n line was the v2 rocket, a german wwii missile. The kinds of animals that were launched into space by the u. s. after fruit ies were monkeys. Nasa stands for national aeronautics & space administration". The soviet union was the rst country to launch the 1st human into space.
