ESPACE

Cooperation en espace

Cooperation en espace Quand les gens ont

commence de voyager en espace, c’ était un compétition.

Les États-Unis et la Russe étaient au milieu du “Cold War” et ils ne partageaient rien de leurs programmes d’espaces.

Il n’y avait aucun coopération.

Depuis la fin du “Cold War” en 1989, beaucoup a changé.

Les États-Unis et la Russe travaillent ensemble et plusieurs pays autour du monde participe dans une programme cooperative d’espace.

Le plus grand exemple de ceci est le cooperation entre les pays est le ISS, le Station Spatiale Internationale.
