USA and Russia: fight for space.

Aims of my research are: -to enquire more information about Space Race -to compare the development of space exploration in the USA and Russia and to choose the leader in fight for space

To achieve these aims I need : -to track the development of America`s and Russia`s space program with the help of scientific articles, books and documents, -to research the reasons for development of these two systems -to compare the achievements of these two countries at the present stage

The meaning of space exploration - The development of science, creating of new materials and technical AIDS - Studying of capabilities of the human and other biological organisms - Studying planets of our solar system as a proposed place to live - Studying the nearest planets as a proposed place to dig mineral wealth - An opportunity to creation of army`s bases, that can give politics superiority

National agencies, studying space exploration: - Agencies of the advanced defensive research projects DARPA; - National administration on aeronautics and space research NASA; - Roscosmos

Conclusion During my research, I compared the development of space exploration in the USA and Russia and choosed the leader in fight for space. I found out, that the Space Race played an important role science development. Both countries made a technological revolution in quite small period of time. But in my opinion, Russia is the leader nowadays.

Thank you for attention!
