1 May 13, 2014 Apply (T/E) knowledge to what we learned about space exploration  Objective: 0807.T/E.4 Adaptive and Assistive Bioengineering (1) Is an astronaut's spacesuit adaptive or assistive technology? (Explain your answer in one or more complete sentences) Bell Work Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 (2) The Space Shuttle completed 135 manned orbital missions, but had two major accidents. Would you consider it an overall success or failure? (Explain your answer in one or more complete sentences)

2 The International 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

3 NASA's Robot Explorers  Robots are used instead of humans for dangerous and/or tedious missions  Small robot ships have studied distant planets and asteroids in our solar system Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Exploring Saturn Exploring Jupiter and Beyond Voyager 1 (USA) 1977-Present Cassini-Huygens (USA) 1997-Present

4 NASA's Robot Explorers Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Viking 1 and 2 Orbiter (USA) Exploring Mars 1976 Viking 1 and 2 Lander (USA) Exploring Mars 1976 Exploring Mars

5 NASA's Robot Explorers Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Exploring Mars  Two noteworthy robot explorers are Spirit and Opportunity sent to Mars in 2003  Each robot was only expected to last 90 Martian days, but each one explored far longer than that Spirit Rover On Mars 2004-2010 Opportunity Rover On Mars 2004-Present

6  The Curiosity rover was sent to Mars in 2011  Larger and more robust than the previous rovers, this robot explorer has drills and a laser device to study rocks and search for life. NASA's Robot Explorers Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Exploring Mars Curioustiy Rover On Mars 2012-Present

7 Watch these two video clips showing robot rovers being sent to and/or arriving on Mars Click on this link: Mars Rover-From Earth to Mars Click on this link: Curiousity Rover-Landing on Mars NASA's Robot Explorers Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4
