|| The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union to explore outer space, most often defined by the race to place a human on the moon, the Space race was an integral part of the Cold War. Each side used the competition to demonstrate its technological prowess in the areas of science, educatiojn, engineering, and management. Both nations also used rocket and missile development gleaned from the space race to strengthen their military establishments.

Both sides thus hoped these programs would help develop a rocket capable of placing a satellite into orbit. ||
