2. DO NOW: Set up Space Exploration in ISN and copy down this VOCABULARY on right side Satellite: an object that orbits a more massive object Satellite: an object that orbits a more massive object Space Station: a satellite in which people can live and work for long periods Space Station: a satellite in which people can live and work for long periods Lander: craft designed to land a planet’s surface Lander: craft designed to land a planet’s surface Probe: spacecraft that drops into a planet’s atmosphere & records data Probe: spacecraft that drops into a planet’s atmosphere & records data

3. The Apollo Program took astronauts to the moon! The Apollo program had the goal of carrying three astronauts in preparation for an eventual moon landing. The race to the moon was a rivalry between the Soviet Union and USA. Apollo I was destroyed by fire during a launch rehearsal, and all three astronauts perished. Successive Apollo missions were successful. Apollo 8 was the first flight in which humans orbited the moon.

4. APOLLO 11 Apollo 11 (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins) was launched on July 16, 1969. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin departed in the lunar module and became the 1 st humans to walk on the moon’s surface. Five more missions landed on the moon, ending with Apollo 17 in December 1972.

5. FLYBY Spacecraft passes planet without orbiting them Spacecraft passes planet without orbiting them As a flyby passes a planet the planet’s gravity is used to change the flyby’s speed or direction As a flyby passes a planet the planet’s gravity is used to change the flyby’s speed or direction Voyager 2 flew past Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—even though it left Earth with only enough energy to reach Jupiter. Voyager 2 flew past Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—even though it left Earth with only enough energy to reach Jupiter.

6. ORBITERS Spacecraft collects data from a planet while moving around it. Spacecraft collects data from a planet while moving around it. Can view most or all of a planet’s surface over a longer period of time Can view most or all of a planet’s surface over a longer period of time Sends pictures back to Earth and also takes temperature readings Sends pictures back to Earth and also takes temperature readings Mars Reconn Orbiter Titan Saturn Mission

7. LANDERS Spacecraft designed to land on a planet’s surface Spacecraft designed to land on a planet’s surface Landers have been on Moon, Venus, and Mars Landers have been on Moon, Venus, and Mars Collects soil and rock samples, takes pictures, measures properties of atmosphere & surface Collects soil and rock samples, takes pictures, measures properties of atmosphere & surface Rovers SPIRIT & OPPORTUNITY Rovers SPIRIT & OPPORTUNITY Storm on Mars—picture taken by Rover Opportunity
