  1. 12.3 Space-based observation Kyle & Ish

  2. What you will learn • What a probe is and what have they done • All about rovers and how they made it to Mars • Rockets • Space shuttle program and why it is important • International space station and what they have done

  3. Probes • A space vehicle sent to other celestialbodies • Travels places humans can’t go • Used to analyze distant objects • Most aren’t designed to return to Earth Mariner 10: launched Nov 3 1973 First to travel to Mercury

  4. Probes (cont.) • Soviet Union landed probes on Venus (communication only lasted half an hour) • Probes sent past the furthest planets in the solar system • Can orbit, fly past or land on planets Probe sent by Soviet Union

  5. Rover • Robot space explorers • Testing the surfaces for evidence of life and water • 1 out of every 3 missions on mars is a success • Send information back to Earth • Only rest at night Mars Rover

  7. Rovers (cont.) • Mars rover has found water on the surface of the planet • Operate in extreme temperatures • Conduct experiments in meteorology, geology and biology • Took 6 to 8 months to get to mars • Launched June 10 and July 7 and landed January 3 and January 24

  8. Rockets • System used to transport astronauts into space • Thrust- force that pushes against the rocket • Parts of the propulsion system are released to make the body lighter

  9. Rocket diagram

  10. Space shuttle program • Reuses the parts of the rocket that fall from the propulsion system. • The rockets are designed to be reusable. • It was started 30 years ago • Most of the rocket parts fall into the ocean

  11. International space station • 350Km about earth • Nemours experiments in micro gravity • Micro gravity is the condition of weightlessness in space. • 16 countries including Canada, Russia, USA

  12.

  13. Questions 1- True 2- False 3- June 10, 2004 4- to push or put with force. • The opportunity rover landed on Mars with huge balloons. T/F • The rover found that there has never been water on the surface of Mars. T/F • When was the first rover sent to Mars? • What is thrust? • Draw a rocket diagram.
