Spacecraft

	Sort by Title
	X Plane Ratios and TPS NASA Connect segment explaining the X-Plane, scale model, and Venture Star. The video also explores a Thermal Protection System, or TPS and gives examples of this. Grades 3-5 \| 6-8 Science \| Mathematics
	Tethers NASA Connect segment explaining how NASA uses tethers to help propel spacecraft already in orbit. The segment also explores the NASA project called ProSEDS which is the first to experiment with a tether system. Grades 3-5 \| 6-8 Science
	Propulsion In Space NASA Connect segment exploring how NASA is researching to design, build and test a new propulsion technology that uses magnetism, electricity, and tethers instead of rocket engines. Grades 3-5 \| 6-8 Science
	Electromagnetism Activity NASA Connect segment explaining how NASA is using electricity and magnetism to propel spacecraft into orbit. The segment also explains acceleration, mass, and force in an algebraic equation. Grades 3-5 \| 6-8 Science \| Computer-Technology
	Scaling the Solar System NASA Connect segment that explores how astronomers and scientists use astronomical units in measuring distances in the Solar System. Grades 3-5 \| 6-8 Science \| Mathematics
	Geometry of Exploration-Navigation to Mars and More Ellipses NASA Connect Segment that explores how NASA scientists use geometry to navigate spacecraft from Earth to Mars. It also explains the goals and accomplishments of the Viking Mission. Grades 6-8 Science
	Computer Simulation NASA Connect Segment explaining how NASA uses computer simulation to design spacecraft, including the next reusable launch vehicle. Grades 6-8 Computer-Technology
	Planetary Observer Activity NASA Connect Segment featuring an online activity to show students how to design a planetary observer like the Mars Global Surveyor. Grades 3-5 \| 6-8 Computer-Technology
	Flexible Wing NASA Destination Tomorrow Segment explaining the history of the flexible wing and the existence of the hang glider. Grades 9-12 Science
	Titan NASA Destination Tomorrow Segment exploring a newly discovered moon called Titan that revolves around the planet Saturn. Grades 6-8 \| 9-12 Science
