  1. Race to build your own NASA satellite! Lynn Cominsky Sonoma State University

  2. Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope

  3. What Are Gamma Rays?

  4. Fermi goes into Space • This animation shows Fermi launching into Earth orbit and observing the sky in gamma rays • Fermi was launched on June 10, 2008 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida

  5. Gamma-ray Burst Monitor What are the parts of Fermi? Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Gamma-ray Burst Monitor

  6. Large Area Telescope • Has 16 towers – each uses E=mc2 to detect gamma-rays

  7. Bright blazar Gamma-ray pulsar High-mass binary Radio galaxy Globular cluster Gamma-ray skymap Bright blazar Bright blazar Bright blazar Bright blazar Gamma-ray pulsar Gamma-ray pulsar Gamma-ray pulsar Gamma-ray pulsar High-mass binary High-mass binary High-mass binary High-mass binary Radio galaxy Radio galaxy Radio galaxy Radio galaxy Globular cluster Globular cluster Globular cluster Globular cluster

  8. Fermi Race Game • Play in teams of two • Open both packs of cards – shuffle well then deal 8 cards to each person • The rest of the cards are the “draw deck” • Start by building satellite • Once you have all the parts, turn over the board and be the first to observe 5 objects

  9. On each turn • Draw card from deck • Play Satellite (or Object) + Experience cards if you can • Play Action cards if you want to • If you have less than 4 cards, take more from deck. If you have more than 8 cards, discard some to pile

  10. Blue Experience Cards • Left hand side is for Stage 1: Educator card Science team card • Right side is for Stage 2 – these are points needed to observe objects There are also “Wild Cards”

  11. Yellow borders = Action Cards • Control flow of game – Offensive and Defensive There are also “Instant Action” defensive cards which can counteract your opponents actions

  12. Double Sided cards • Red borders = Satellite part cards – use in Stage 1 1 Science team card AND 1 Educator card 1 Science team card OR 2 Educator cards What you need for the satellite part

  13. Double Sided cards • Green borders = Space object cards – use in Stage 2 How many points you need for this object The first player to get different objects wins!
