Explanation:
Northrop Grumman offers solutions that give our forces the edge throughout the entirety of their missions.
The difference between success and failure in the battlespace can often come down to who has the technological advantage. It’s why we build weapons that don’t just work, they give our forces the edge.
For decades, Northrop Grumman has protected U.S. forces and our allies by designing, developing and delivering weapons of increasing complexity and capabilities for expanded missions and domains. We continue to build upon that legacy to pioneer weapons that consistently outmatch the range, speed, precision and firepower of fielded enemy weapon systems, with the parameters of current platforms in mind.
Northrop Grumman’s weapon solutions define possible from tip-to-tail, integrating legacy capabilities with innovative technology for the toughest missions with increased survivability, speed to the field, and affordability at the forefront.
The correct answer is A. Each program was based on the knowledge of the previous ones.
The Mercury program was the first American manned space program developed between 1961 and 1963 in the framework of the space race with the Soviet Union.
Based on the knowledge provided by the Mercury program, in 1965 NASA launched the second American manned space program, Gemini, whose main goal was to develop the ability necessary for space encounter and coupling.
These abilities were fundamental for the third program, the Apollo missions, whose main objective was to put the first men on the moon, a goal that was accomplished in 1969.
