1 I’m coming around to check your research! 

2 Big idea questions… How are we currently exploring the solar system?
Why should we continue to explore space and to develop technology?

3 Today: Create this table in your notebook. Fill in the table with:
Definition and Cost Mission Name and Location as we go through them Missions can fit in more than one column! Orbiter Telescope Rover/Lander Flyby Human spaceflight “Definition and cost” “Examples” Mercury & Gemini – Low earth orbit Apollo- Moon landings Space Shuttle- low earth orbit International Space Station –

4 How can we study other planets?

24 This montage of Voyager spacecraft pictures shows the eight planets, plus four of Jupiter's moons, sprawled against the backdrop of the Rosette Nebula and on the horizon of Earth's moon. In addition to the planets and moons seen in this simulated photo, our solar system contains a star, asteroids and comets, and dwarf planets such as Pluto.
