May 01, 2013 Apply (EDP) knowledge to what we learned about space exploration Remember: Step 1 of the EDP is to identify a need. (1) Identify the needs that the Lunar Module spacecraft addresses. (see picture below) Bell Work Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Lunar Module Project Mercury Atlas Rocket Remember: In step 2 of the EDP you build a prototype. (2) How could the Atlas rockets used in project mercury be considered prototypes for the Saturn 5 rockets? Project Apollo Saturn 5 Rocket

Space Stations After the Apollo missions were cancelled, both Russia and the USA put space stations in orbit around our planet Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Skylab Space Station (USA) 1973-1974 Mir Space Station (USSR) 1986-1998
3
Both Russia and the USA designed reusable spacecraft with wings that could go in orbit and then glide back down to Earth Space Shuttles Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4

Space Shuttles The Russian shuttle only flew in orbit once, and it was unmanned US shuttle successfully completed 135 manned orbital missions Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Space Shuttle (USA) Blasting Off Space Shuttle (USA) Landing

Space Shuttles US program had two space shuttle disasters Challenger (1986)-exploded 73 seconds after lift off Columbia (2003)-burned up during re-entry of Earth's atmosphere Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Challenger (1986)-6 astronauts killed Click on the link below and watch to the 3:15 mark Link: Challenger Explosion VideoChallenger Explosion Video Columbia (2003)-7 astronauts killed Click on the link below and watch the video Link: Columbia Disaster VideoColumbia Disaster Video

The Internation Space Station (1998 to present) ISS is a habitable space station in orbit around our planet 6 to 10 people can live there at one time Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 International Space Station 1998-Present
