A new chapter in US space flight began in July 1950 with the launch of the first rocket, Bumper 2, from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created on October 1, 1958.

  • Jan 1958 - US launched its first Earth satellite, Explorer 1
  • Dec 1958 - US launched the first communications satellite SCORE into space.
  • April 1960 - US launched the first weather satellite, TIROS-1
