A. The international space station has been in orbit for more than fifteen years. The idea was first introduced in the agreement on space exploration signed by Russia and the USA. Since then scientists and engineers from sixteen countries have contributed to the project. Thus, the station can be called the result of technology from all over the world.
B. Like Rome, the international space station was not built in a day. The space exploration project began with small manned orbital stations designed by Russian engineers in the 1960s. Later, the bigger modules Salyut and Mir appeared. They successfully worked in orbit from the 1970s till the 2000s. The space station, which is currently in orbit, was formed from Zaria and Unity, autonomous space modules, in 1998. It is regularly used for international space missions.
C. Inside the two modules there is equipment that provides astronauts with atmosphere, energy, and communications. Also, some radiators, fuel tanks and solar batteries are outside. Special screens protect all the elements of the station from meteors. The main control area is concentrated in the third, modernized module. Astronauts and all necessary goods reach the station in space ships.
D. Crews of astronauts carry out different studies and experiments in orbit. They monitor numerous space objects as well as the atmosphere, volcanoes and water resources of our planet. The results are recorded in reports that astronauts send to the Earth regularly. Science experiments are done in biology, medicine and physics. Thanks to space discoveries, scientists and engineers are able to invent new materials, medicines and technologies for people.
E. It is very important for the astronauts to have regular meals. However, their menu is very specific. All food is prepared in a special way and stored in vacuum containers. There are also foods that cannot be used in orbit at all. Bread is one of them. It is banned at the station because bread crumbs are difficult to collect. The astronauts miss bread very much and nowadays the engineers are designing a space bakery to make a special type of bread.
F. The international space station is a unique destination for space tourism. Since 2012, eight non-professional astronauts have visited it to enjoy the amazing views of the Earth. Although this type of travel costs millions of dollars, the interest to space tourism is constantly growing all over the world. Every new tourist is selected carefully because the health requirements are rather high. The journey takes ten days, including the way to and from the station.
G. At present, mass space travel to other planets is a common theme of science fiction films. Meanwhile the real space exploration scenarios are much more exciting. There are several projects for setting up stations on the Moon and to build human settlements there. A manned expedition to Mars doesn’t look like a crazy idea any more. And of course, scientists continue looking for other life in the universe.

Is there intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? One quite valid response to that question is: we just don’t know and we haven’t seen any proof that there is so A21 far (Some people’s claims that they have seen UFOs certainly do not count as proof. They are not even evidence.)
However, scientists are becoming increasingly A22 convinced that the Earth is not the only source of life in the universe.
There are two main reasons for this. The first is that the more scientists learn about how life started here on Earth, the more they realise how easily those conditions could be recreated somewhere else.
The second reason is A23 connected to the first. A24 Assuming it’s not that difficult
to create the right conditions for life to form, the universe is so big that the A25 chances are if it can happen somewhere else, it will.
None of that is to A26 say, however, that we’ll be communicating with aliens any time soon. Firstly, if there is life on other planets, it may not be intelligent in the way that humans are. There are billions of different life forms here on Earth, but it’s only humans who have been able to leave the planet. Secondly, A27 even if there was an intelligent life form on another planet, it may have evolved and become extinct billions of years before the Earth even formed. Or, it may not come into existence until billions of years in the future. Thirdly, one of the main reasons why there might be life elsewhere — the sheer size of the universe — is also a reason why we will probably never A28 get to see it. It takes so long to travel even short distances in space – the journey from Earth to our close neighbour Mars takes several months — the odds of two intelligent life forms from different planets being in the same place at the same time are incredibly small.

2. He did enough to recalculate the major components of the supposed orbits of the Sun, Moon, and planets around the Earth. Its attraction was because of its break with traditional doctrines: in particular, it opposed Aristotle, who had argued cogently for the fixity of the Earth; it provided an alternative to Ptolemy’s geocentric universe. Who was this scientist?
3. He put forward several ideas about space travel. He believed humans would eventually colonize the Milky Way Galaxy. His idea of spaceship was based on the use of liquid fuels. His calculations were used in modern theory of cosmonauts and practical space travel, who was he?
4. This man was one of the founders of the Soviet space program and was one of the lead architects behind the first human spaceflight (Vostok 1) alongside Sergey Korolyov.After Korolyov’s death in 1966, he became the lead scientist of the Soviet space program and was responsible for the launch of the first space stations from 1971 to 1991, including the Salyut and Mir series, and their precursors in 1967, the Cosmos 186 and Cosmos 188. What is the name of this man?
5. This cosmonaut went outside wearing a spacesuit connected to the capsule by a line which also carried his oxygen supply, becoming the first person to ‘walk’ in space. From the first experiments scientists went over to systematic exploration of space. He was also a talented artist. Who was this cosmonaut?
6. The longest time spent in the open space and the highest number of spacewalks. This cosmonaut during his flights into space completed 16 spacewalks of total duration of 82 hours and 22 minutes. What is the name of the cosmonaut?
7. She was the first person to use the robotic arm to retrieve a satellite, and the first woman to use the arm in space. She spent several years working at NASA headquarters where she founded NASA’s Office of Exploration. What is the name of this cosmonaut?
8. These two astronauts made the first untethered space walk in 1984. Who were they?
9.They were people who visited space as space tourists. How many space tourists were in the history of astronautics? What are their names? What is the name of the space tourist who visited space twice?
10. This museum offers a range of exhibits exploring the history of cosmonautics in the very space in which the Soviet Union first set up laboratories in the 1930s to research military rocket science. It was opened in 1973. The museum’s exhibits include rocket engines, a number of cosmonauts’ spacesuits, and even the space-dogs Belka and Strelka (taxidermied, of course) etc.
II. The Earth in the window (Земля в иллюминаторе)
1. What is the largest telescope in the world?
2. It is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying. What is this place?

The main argument used against the space programme is that the enormous amount of money it costs I could be better spent on solving problems such as poverty and environmental damage here on Earth.
Initially, this view A21 sounds persuasive, particularly when confronted with how huge the amounts of money we are talking about actually are. Surely, the argument goes, if, instead of sending I hundreds of billions of dollars up into space for a pointless walk on the Moon or a few glossy colour photographs of Mars, we channelled the funds into A22worthwhile projects on our own planet, we could solve all the world’s problems in about as short a time as it A23takes for the space shuttle to circle the globe.
How appealing and — perhaps sadly — how untrue. The fallacy of that argument is in the idea that all of the money allotted to the space programme is wasted in space. It isn’t. None of the money goes into space at A24 all It stays right here on Earth and is fed back into the economy.
Take the astronauts and tens of thousands of other people who are involved in whatever way with the space programme. They spend their salaries — and pay tax on them — here on Earth. That tax is used by governments to do a number of important things: build hospitals and schools,
A25provide pensions, pay for the police service and, yes, fund the space programme. Take the cost of all the spacecraft, the technology inside them and the research that’s done to create that technology. All of that money goes to companies here on Earth, companies which pay tax if they A26make a profit, and pay salaries to their workers, who then pay tax to the government, which builds hospitals, etc.
Looking at it the other way round, what would happen if all the governments in the world which have a space programme A27closed their programmes down tomorrow? Would they have a lot more money to spend on other things? Only for a very short time, because along with the A28immediate savings there would be enormous costs from the increased unemployment and reduction in taxes received.

On the Moon.
In 1969 the first astronauts from the Earth landed on
the Moon. They had prepared for the trip for a long time
and knew that their mission involved doing things that had
never been done before.
The astronauts wore special heavy boots to prevent
them from floating off into the space.
On the moon they had time to collect Moon rocks
before returning to the Earth. It was a challenge.
Those brave people and others after them are
responsible for much of the knowledge we now have, about
how the Moon was formed.
It is likely, that scientists will continue to learn more
about how the Galaxy was formed by studying the data
back from the Moon.

So far there are only two ways to get into space — you either have to be an astronaut or very rich. Countries such as Russia and the USA have space programs, but you need to be highly qualified and very determined if you want to become an astronaut. Only a few of the thousands of applicants make it through the training and selection program. Alternatively, if you have the money and are fit enough, you may be able to buy a place on the space journey, as the US millionaire, Mike Melwill did in 2004. But soon there may be another way.
Asif Mahsood is a 14-year old Pakistani with big plans. He dreams of getting a job in space, but hopes he doesn’t need to become an astronaut. And the idea is not so fantastic. Many experts believe that the travel industry will be revolutionized during the next decades by the development of space holidays.
Most people know about the space stations that are already circling the Earth. They are used for research and are operated by professional astronauts. But soon a space station could be built for commercial purposes. A holiday in space would not be cheap, but there are probably already plenty of people who would be prepared to pay.
This is where Asif’s dream comes in. He wants to be the manager of the world’s first orbiting hotel. It is likely that rocket ships will provide the transport. They could be launched from the Earth’s surface, or even from a carrier aircraft high in the atmosphere. The space hotel will be designed with a landing platform for the rocket ship. The passengers could then move into the hotel through a large tube connected to the hotel entrance. This would be necessary because there is no gravity in space. However, inside the space hotel there would need to be a system creating artificial gravity, so that guests could move around normally.
Naturally, if hotels are built in space, there will also be new jobs in space. Guests will need all the normal services found in a hotel on Earth, but there will also be some new possibilities. For example, all sorts of recreation activities could be designed to take advantage of the zero gravity conditions in space. Being able to float around a room, bounce off the walls and ceiling would be very attractive for tourists looking for a new experience. Games of three-dimensional football, basketball or volleyball would certainly be very interesting. The hotel would also have telescopes to look out at the universe, and to look back at the Earth below.
A space hotel will need to have other facilities that are not necessary in normal hotels. It would be more like a small city in some ways, with its own hospital, communication system, police force and fire department.
In the meantime, Asif is going to keep studying hard at school so that he can find a job working in one of the big international hotels in Lahore or Karachi. He wants to qualify in hotel management and continue to study business administration. The hotels are much the same, so Asif believes that the best preparation for a job in space will be gaining plenty of experience working in Earth hotels.
The whole idea of hotels in space may sound a little like science fiction, but 30 years ago technology such as mobile video phones and the Internet seemed to be just a crazy dream, whereas today they are a normal part of everyday life, and it is hard to imagine our world without them.
12. Who is Mike Melwill?
1) The founder of a new space program.
2) An American scientist.
3) A highly-qualified astronaut.
4) A man who paid for a space travel.
13. Asif’s final aim is to
1) become an astronaut.
2) go on a space holiday.
3) be a hotel manager in Pakistan.
4) work in a new type of a hotel.
14. What will be new in the operations of space stations in the future?
1) Scientific research will be performed on them.
2) They will be used for training professional astronauts.
3) They will be used for making money.
4) They will be less expensive.
15. In space hotels, a large tube will be necessary for
1) creating artificial gravity.
2) connecting the hotel to the landing area.
3) linking hotels with the Earth.
4) launching the rocket ships.
16. Which of the following is NOT described as possible entertainment in space hotels?
1) Walks in the open space.
2) Jumping on the ceiling.
3) Watching the Earth through a telescope.
4) Playing extra dimensional volley-ball.
17. Space hotels will require
1) exactly the same services and facilities as normal hotels.
2) absolutely different services and facilities than normal hotels.
3) more services and facilities than normal hotels.
4) less services and facilities than normal hotels.
18. The author argues that
1) many things that used to be science fiction exist nowadays.
2) rich people should finance the space exploration.
3) space hotels are just a crazy dream.
4) it’s already hard to imagine our world without space travelling.
What is space exploration?
Space exploration is sending people or machines into space to visit other planets and objects in space. Mankind has dreamed of visiting the stars for hundreds of years, but it wasn’t until 1969 that the first person walked on the Moon.
Since the first person walked on the Moon, hundreds of satellites have been launched into orbit around the earth, and hundreds of people have been into space on lots of different types of spacecraft. We have also sent machines to investigate objects that are further away in the Solar System.
Top 10 facts
- The first person in space was Yuri Gagarin from the Soviet Union, who travelled into orbit around the Earth in 1961.
- The first man to walk on the Moon was an American called Neil Armstrong in 1969.
- The Moon is the only place in space apart from Earth that humans have set foot on.
- People who fly into space are called astronauts. They have to be very careful about what they eat and what exercise they do to stay healthy while they are in space.
- A spacecraft needs to travel at 11,000 miles per hour to get into orbit around the Earth.
- Spacecraft use huge rockets to carry them into space.
- The most famous type of spacecraft was the Space Shuttle. There were five Space Shuttles and one prototype – between them they flew 135 missions into space.
- Out of billions of people who live on Earth, only 535 have been into Orbit, and only 12 have ever walked on the Moon.
- The International Space Station is the biggest space station ever built. It can hold a crew of six people.
- In 2012 a machine made by NASA called ‘Curiosity’ landed on Mars to see if it could find evidence of any creatures or plants having ever lived there.

Did you know?
- Space starts 100 kilometres (62 miles) above the surface of the Earth.
- The first man to walk on the moon was Neil Armstrong. He was an American who travelled there in 1969 on NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. As he stepped onto the Moon he said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
- A satellite is what we call a machine that is launched into orbit around the Earth. Some satellites do things like taking photographs or broadcasting TV channels, and others are used by scientists.
- The first satellite was called Sputnik I and was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. It circled the Earth for three months.
- When a space mission includes people, we call it a manned space expedition. When it only includes machines, we call it an unmanned expedition.
- Nobody has ever stepped on any object in space apart from the Moon, but we have sent machines to investigate Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and many other places.
- There is no air in space, so astronauts have to take air with them from Earth so that they can breathe. If they want to go outside their spacecraft, they have to wear special airtight clothes called a space suit.
- A space station is a place built in space so that astronauts can live and work in space.
- There is so little gravity in orbit around the Earth that instead of walking on the ground, astronauts in the space shuttles or on the International Space Station float in the air. This is called weightlessness.
- Astronauts have to exercise every day to keep their muscles strong while they are in space. They also have to eat specially prepared foods that are nutritious, easy to prepare and don’t make a mess when you eat them in space. Ice cream is too messy to eat in space so astronauts have to have it freeze-dried so that they can eat it for dessert!

About
Construction of the International Space Station by Europe, Japan, Canada, Russia and the USA started in 1998 and is still going on today. The International Space Station is the largest object that humans have ever put into orbit. It will be used by astronauts until at least the year 2020.
Space exploration doesn’t just mean sending people into space. We also send machines. Voyager I and Voyager II, launched in 1977, have almost reached the edge of the Solar System and will soon be exploring deep space. They have travelled further from Earth than any other space craft made by man.
Voyager I and Voyager II visited Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto on their journey through the Solar System.
Apart from the Moon, the most popular place to send unmanned space expeditions is to Mars. Since the year 2000, there have been 10 unmanned expeditions to Mars, including putting spacecraft into orbit around Mars and landing machines called rovers to explore the surface.
Some scientists think that creatures may have lived on Mars millions of years ago, when Mars was warmer and had more air – NASA sent the rover Curiosity to Mars in 2012 to look for evidence of life. They haven’t found it yet, but they are going to keep on looking!
Sending people to investigate Mars might take up to six months just to travel there. Even simple things like making sure that you have enough food to eat are difficult when you have to pack everything into your spacecraft before you leave. You can’t come back if you’ve forgotten something!
During the 1950s and 1960s there was a “Space Race” between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Both countries thought it was important to be the first to do things in space and were very proud of their achievements. The Soviet Union put the first satellite and the first man into orbit, but the USA was the first to send a man to the Moon.
Now private companies are starting to fly into space too. Virgin Galactic sells tickets for a short trip into space for £130,000! Passengers won’t go high enough to go into orbit, but they will spend about six minutes in space. The whole trip will take two and a half hours from take-off to landing.
Words to know for space exploration:
Astronaut – a person who has travelled in space
Curiosity – a large rover sent to Mars by NASA to look for signs of life
ESA – the European Space Agency, which consists of all the countries in Europe working together on missions to explore space
NASA – the North American Space Agency, which is the organisation from the USA that explores and investigates space
Orbit – When something goes into orbit, it is high enough that it keeps circling the Earth, instead of falling back to the ground.
Rocket – Rockets burn a lot of fuel to get to very high speeds very quickly. You have to do this if you want to get from the surface of the Earth into orbit.
Rover – a mobile robot sent to land on another planet or moon and explore
Satellite – a machine put into orbit around the Earth, and often used for science or communications
Spacecraft – a vehicle for travelling in space or into space
Space Shuttle – Made by NASA, this is the most famous type of spacecraft to be made.
Space station – a permanent structure in space where astronauts can live and work
Spacesuit – special airtight clothes that keep an astronaut safe and warm outside their spacecraft
Sputnik – the first satellite to be put into orbit around Earth
Voyager I and Voyager II – spacecraft that were sent to explore the outer parts of the Solar System
