NASA Enterprise
1. Geometry of Exploration: Eyes Over Mars
Students examine how the principles of geometry and linear and angular measurements are used to survey and map the Earth and other planets. A surveyor explains how locations like football or soccer fields and describes the tools and techniques used. Students also learn how NASA researchers use geometric shapes to navigate spacecraft to Mars and how satellites, like the Mars Global Surveyor, and the principles of geometry, are used to determine the elevation of land formations on Mars.
2. Geometry of Exploration: Water Below the Surface of Mars?
Students learn how geometry, geometric shapes, and navigation are used to explore Mars. They also learn how NASA researchers collect, analyze, and interpret the data collected from exploration to develop theories about the existence of water and life on Mars.
3. Special Edition: World Space Congress 2002: The New Face of Space
The World Space Congress 2002 is the ,,meeting of the decade for space professionals. From the discovery of distant planets to medical advancements, from geological exploration to urban planning, from water on Mars to energy sources in developing nations, you'll find it all here.
4. Functions and Statistics: Dressed for Space
Building on past space suit technologies, NASA engineers and researchers use functions and statistics to create the next generation of space suits for the International Space Station and beyond.
5. Functions and Statistics: International Space Station: Up to Us
Ground research + space research = true science as international researchers anticipate working together onboard the International Space Station.
