5.  Orbiter Stats:  H eight: (on runway) 57 feet  Length: 122 feet  Wingspan: 78 feet  Mid Fuselage: Length: 60 feet Width: 17 feet Height: 13 feet  Aft Fuselage Length: 18 feet Width: 22 feet Height:20 feet  Payload Bay Doors Length: 60 feet Diameter: 15 feet Width: 22.67 feet Surface: 1,600 feet 2  Forward Fuselage is the living quarters and cockpit.  The Mid Fuselage is the main part of the shuttle and the storage area. It has a 50f remote controlled arm to load and unload loads.  Aft Fuselage is the steering, main engine and tail.

6.  The Flyby space crafts are satellites that orbit the planets and collect information about them and then move onto the next planet.  It is really hard for the shuttle to slow down in space, so it uses a thing called areobraking. It is when the shuttle goes into the planets atmosphere and uses it to slow down to a speed where it can take information.

7.  Equipment on the Phoenix Mars Lander: › Solar Array- converts the suns radiation to electricity. › Surface Stereoscopic Imager- provides a 3D map to help it choose a digging site. › Microscopy, Electrochemistry & Conductivity Analyzer (MECA)- tools at the front of the Lander to examine the soil. › Thermal & Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA)- Determines if the soil has organic compounds and the properties of the soil. › Meteorological Station- Keeps a record of the seasons and temperature of Mars. › Robotic Arm- Collects samples and delivers them to other instruments.

8.  For people to explore space, their crafts need to be able to stand the pressure and heat in space.  When Landers enter other planets atmospheres, they need to have a heat shield. They also have air bags on the outside to soften the landing, but they can bounce around for 15 minutes.  Most crafts use solar energy to power themselves so they have solar panels on top
