This chapter illustrates some of the features about the way the past 60 years of space exploration have evolved and also looks at the future of space applications that will affect humanity and society in a major way. History changed on October 4, 1957 when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I, which was the first artificial satellite. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic launch of Sputnik, a one-day programme was organised jointly in Paris by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), United Nations-Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN-COPUOS), the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), and the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).
