This unit teaches students how and why engineers design satellites to benefit life on Earth as well as allows students an opportunity to explore motion, rockets and rocket motion. Students discover that the motion of all objects...

This slideshow explains how satellites are used to measure the movement of tectonic plates.

The Space Environment Center (SEC) put together a slide show for use by teachers on Space weather. Begin with discussing solar emission and the sun itself. Then end with a summary of climatic effects of space weather, and a note on space...

This site provides a detailed overview of the TRACE (Transition Region and Coronal Explorer) satellite mission, data received, details about the instrumentation, and how to interpret the data.

Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. works with the Surrey Space Centre to "provide rapid and cost-effective satellite mission."

In 1955, the US and the USSR each announced plans to launch a satellite into orbit. Thus began the race to the moon. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the American space program and its new classes of astronauts achieved breakthroughs in...

Explore navigation methods by sea, air, and space, what latitude and longitude mean, how GPS works, about satellite navigation, and learn about professional navigators. Includes a timeline of developments in navigation from 1280 to the...

SeaWIFS refers to the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor, which is a satellite sensor that can monitor the color of the oceans and send data back to Earth. This page has a collection of scientific and educational resources on ocean...

Read about the work of the spacecraft SOHO and the things we have learned about the Sun from the pictures and information that it sends back to Earth. Book includes audio narration in 6 additional languages with text in English.

The Solar Data Analysis Center at NASA provides all the latest information learned about the sun. Content includes a look at information brought back by several satellites.

In this unit, students learn the basics about weather and the atmosphere. They investigate materials engineering as it applies to weather and the choices available to us for clothing to counteract the effects of weather. Students have...

This resource looks at how geologists are able to measure the movement of tectonic plates using satellite-based data and how they were able to surmise in the past that the plates were moving. It also discusses how to read GPS time-series...

A pair of small tables of data that contain just about everything known about the moons of Neptune.

Images of Jupiter and its moons. Thumbnails lead to small JPEG graphic files. Some link to large, high-resolution TIFF files. Nearly all have a detailed caption file link.

A photo of two huge satellite dishes aimed into space that are used for research in the field of space and astronomy.

How do astronomers collect stardust? They design and build satellites that are launched into space to collect particles on specially designed panels. Satellites can be sent to orbit around an object of interest: a planet, moon, or comet....

An introduction to our solar system: the planets, our Sun and our Moon. Students begin by learning the history and engineering of space travel. They make simple rockets to acquire a basic understanding Newton's third law of motion. They...

A useful page from the Hong Kong Observatory offering introduction to weather and weather phenomenon. Learn about thunderstorms, tides, monsoon season, weather radar, and weather in space. Not a slick site but informative. Most...

NASA site surveys the satellite Cassini's mission to Saturn as well as the ejection of the Huygens probe.
