Explain what a space probe is and what it is used for. A 200
A probe is a craft of instruments sent to observe the properties of another object in space. A 200
The Mars rover is an example of what type of spacecraft? A 300
It is a SPACE PROBE A 300
Give 3 reasons why we send robotic probes to explore space rather than humans. A 400
Robots do not need food, water and air. Robots do not need sleep Robots do not need to be entertainedand do not get bored or lonely. Robots do not need a return trip home Robots are cheaper Human are not at risk of dying A 400
How are the Saturn V Apollo rockets different than the Space Transport System (Space Shuttle)? A 500
STS / Space Shuttle • 7 astronauts • Can’t go to the moon • More space inside • 2 stages • Can haul large payload into orbit • Apollo/ Saturn V • 3 astronauts • Can go to the moon • Little space inside • 4 stages • faster A 500
What is EM radiation? B 100
Radio waves B 200
Radiation is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves. • Some types of electromagnetic waves emit more radiation or give off more energy. • What determines the amount of energy that an electromagnetic wave emits? B 300
The wavelength B 300
What type of tool is used to observe radio waves from a distant star or galaxy? B 400
A Radio Telescope B 400
Put the following types of EM Waves in order from longest to shortest wavelength: • Infrared light • Gamma Ray • Visible light • Radio wave • Microwave • X-rays • Ultraviolet light • Bonus (100 points): Which one has the most energy? B 500
National Airand Space Administration C 100
What 2 areas does the US government spend the most on? How much of the budget was spent on NASA? C 200
Social Security and Military = 37.6% NASA = 0.4% C 200

What are 3 advantages of using Cape Canaveral as a launch site? C 500
Eastward launches over water provide a safe place for booster rockets and debris to fall in the ocean. • It is close to the equator so the rocket needs less fuel to reach orbit than one launched near the poles. • Nearby military bases provided good roads. C 500
