  1. IV. Section 3 Using Space Science on Earth

  2. A. The Challenges of Space • Vacuum-empty of all matter • Space craft must be well insulated • Microgravity- weightlessness • Inertia keeps them in motion

  3. B. Space Spinoffs • An item used on Earth that was originally developed for space • Many consumer products • Cordless power tools • Shock absorbing materials • Metals

  4. C. Satellites • Used for communications and weather data • Remote sensing- collect data without direct contact • Geostationary orbit- a satellite that orbits Earth at the same rate Earth rotates so it stays at the same place above Earth
