Abstract

It is not a normal poster; it is an “interactive poster”. I call it “ the interactive poster” because it is a Power Point Presentation, which includes dynamic figures.

This poster consists on a picture of the Solar System in the background, where all the planets and satellites and their orbits are drawn.

Then, by every click with the mouse, it is shown some pictures of the most important rockets and satellites throughout the history of  Astronautics: since the first one to the E.S.A.´s last main project (Galileo).
By the first click it appears a picture of the rocket or satellite; by the second one, attached to the picture, it appears a card showing the main characteristics about the rocket ( such as structure, material, weight, propulsion, mission and so on); by the third click, the rocket makes the trajectory of its mission.
As it is explained above, the  rest of  the rockets and satellites appears, one by one, by each click of the mouse.

The aim of this poster is to show the evolution of Astronautic throughout the time, trying to compare the different investigation lines among the E.S.A.´s,  N.A.S.A.´s and Russia´s projects.
That is the reason because it is going to be included just 10 or 15 projects among the most important ones.
