Conhecida como Sputnik (\u2018Companheiro\u2019 ou \u2018Sat\u00e9lite\u2019), a esfera do tamanho de uma bola de basquetebol tornou-se uma sensa\u00e7\u00e3o ao orbitar o planeta, transmitindo um sinal de \u2018bip-bip\u2019. O mundo nunca mais voltou a ser o mesmo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nos primeiros anos da Era Espacial, as superpot\u00eancias americana e sovi\u00e9tica lideraram a corrida pelo dom\u00ednio do espa\u00e7o. No entanto, muitos outros pa\u00edses, nomeadamente na Europa e na \u00c1sia, tamb\u00e9m come\u00e7aram a desenvolver os seus pr\u00f3prios programas de sat\u00e9lites e lan\u00e7adores. Atualmente, s\u00f3 a Ag\u00eancia Espacial Europeia conta com 18 Estados-Membros. Muitos dos principais avan\u00e7os na explora\u00e7\u00e3o espacial tiveram origem na Europa, desde a conce\u00e7\u00e3o de foguet\u00f5es at\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00f3rbita geoestacion\u00e1ria.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-natural\" data-width=\"397\" data-credit=\"ESA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2007\/10\/Apollo_11_bootprint2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2007\/10\/apollo_11_bootprint2\/17903343-2-eng-GB\/Apollo_11_bootprint.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p>Meio s\u00e9culo depois do Sputnik, a tecnologia espacial faz parte do nosso quotidiano.
