USING SPACE SCIENCE ON EARTH



Using Space Science on Earth

  • 3 Ways Conditions in Space are Difference from Conditions on Earth
    • Temperature
    • microgravity
    • near vacumn
  • Engineers Developed Space Craft for Space
    • Spacecraft is insulated to keep extreme temperatures outside
  • Space spinoff
    • A space spinoff is something developed to use in space which is now used on Earth.
  • Medical Science has benefited from the space program.
    • Laser surgery
    • Pacemakers
    • Computer-aid imaging
  • Other Space spinoff
    • A shock-absorbing material was designed for use in moon boots. It is now used in athletic shoes.
  • Three Uses of Satellites
    • Military communication
    • TV signals
    • Internet
  • Advantages to Satellites in Geostationary Orbit
    • Since it follows the rotation of the Earth, it stays over the same place at all times
  • Scientists can use satellites to determine if a rain forest is getting smaller over time because the satellite can show image patterns. If the rain forest is getting smaller, the image pattern would show it.

Good poster! I learned alot about using space science on earth. I found the information on the medical care the most interesting because i never thought you could use those kind of things to study about space. I was surprised by how good information you had!

i learned about the 3 space conditions are microgravity, vaccuume oxygen, and temperature. I found these most interesting because they made me wonder abut space. I was surprised by how big the temperature gap was between space and earth.
