  1. SPACECRAFTS Lesson 1.3Mrs. Gianelos

  2. DO NOW: Set up Space Exploration in ISN and copy down this VOCABULARY on right side • Satellite: an object that orbits a more massive object • Space Station: a satellite in which people can live and work for long periods • Lander: craft designed to land a planet’s surface • Probe: spacecraft that drops into a planet’s atmosphere & records data

  3. The Apollo Program took astronauts to the moon! • The Apollo program had the goal of carrying three astronauts in preparation for an eventual moon landing. The race to the moon was a rivalry between the Soviet Union and USA. • • Apollo I was destroyed by fire during a launch rehearsal, and all three astronauts perished. • • Successive Apollo missions were successful. • • Apollo 8 was the first flight in which humans orbited • the moon.

  4. APOLLO 11 • Apollo 11 (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins) was launched on July 16, 1969. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin departed in the lunar module and became the 1st humans to walk on the moon’s surface. • •Five more missions landed on the moon, ending with Apollo 17 in December 1972.

  5. FLYBY • Spacecraft passes planet without orbiting them • As a flyby passes a planet the planet’s gravity is used to change the flyby’s speed or direction • Voyager 2 flew past Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—even though it left Earth with only enough energy to reach Jupiter.

  6. ORBITERS • Spacecraft collects data from a planet while moving around it. • Can view most or all of a planet’s surface over a longer period of time • Sends pictures back to Earth and also takes temperature readings Mars Reconn Orbiter Titan Saturn Mission

  7. LANDERS • Spacecraft designed to land on a planet’s surface • Landers have been on Moon, Venus, and Mars • Collects soil and rock samples, takes pictures, measures properties of atmosphere & surface • Rovers SPIRIT & OPPORTUNITY Storm on Mars—picture taken by Rover Opportunity

  8. PROBES • Spacecraft that collects data from a planet as it drops into the planet’s atmosphere • Takes atmospheric pressure and temperature readings • Work for a short period of time and are destroyed usually on impact • Used to explore deep atmosphere of Jupiter Voyager Space Probe Pioneer Venus

  9. YOUR MISSION: PROBES TO PLANETS MISSION REPORT IN ISN • Pick a probe! Use the internet to complete the Mission Report on the left side of you ISN. • Print a picture of your probe or a picture it took of an object in space. Glue or tape into left side of ISN. • DUE TOMORROW!!!!!!
