III. Space Age • Artificial satellites built by people-most are in geosynchronous orbit. (around the Earth) • Communication satellites-used to beam TV, Radio and phone signals. • Weather satellites-help predict weather and track storms. • Navigational satellites (GPS) send info to planes and ships for location • Scientific satellites used to study Earth and space
Space spin-offs - society benefits from space technology. examples - Velcro, fabrics, pacemakers, medical equipment, food processing, computers.
IV. The Moon • Apollo Project • Sent men to the moon • Neil Armstrong was first man to walk on the Moon-July 20, 1969
