Science 6 Exploring Space Unit overview The unit examines the impact of technology on the space program, in the past, and at present. Students also have an opportunity to speculate on the direction that space exploration could (or should) take in the future. Due to the nature of the material in this unit, fewer opportunities exist for hands-on activities. However, the unit provides many opportunities to develop Independent Learning, in conjunction with a Resource-Based Learning approach to researching and investigating space exploration. The optional unit, earth's climate , can also be integrated with this unit. Climatic patterns on earth can be studied by analyzing information which has been sent back to earth from weather satellites. These satellites provide us with information that would have been difficult, if not impossible, to obtain otherwise. Once consideration is given to climate, then the related life science units on Ecosystems and Plant and Animal Adaptations can be brought in as well. Science writing and reading activities, as discussed in this Guide, should be incorporated into each lesson. Writing science fiction stories based on science fact, reading articles from newspapers or magazines, and summarizing what they have read in the form of a chart are only two strategies through which students may refine their understanding of the concepts of science and develop their ability to communicate through the written word.

NASA Office of External Relations Human Space Flight and Research Division (Code IH) Role The Human Space Flight and Research Division supports the international activities of two NASA Enterprises, 1) the Human Exploration and Development of Space Enterprise and 2) the Biological and Physical Research Enterprise . The Division provides dedicated international, interagency, and policy coordination support to the Administrator, the Associate Administrator for External Relations, the Office of Space Flight , the Office of Biological and Physical Research, the Chief Health and Medical Officer, and the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance . This support includes day-to-day international interaction at the Headquarters corporate level on matters related to the International Space Station , the Space Shuttle , Tracking and Communications, and Biological and Physical Research cooperative programs. In 1998, Congress passed the Commercial Space Act of 1998 "to encourage the development of a commercial space industry in the United States". The Act included specific provisions for the commercialization of the International Space Station as a high priority for economic development of low-Earth orbit. The Division works closely with its international partners to coordinate commercial activities through a multilateral consultative working group on commercialization. The Division also supports the coordination of commercialization efforts on the International Space Station through multilateral management boards. Additionally, as new issues related to international participation continue to arise, the Division will assist the Office of Biological and Physical Research in establishing the framework and agreements to best foster NASA's commercialization efforts.

STS-84/NASA 5 The STS-84 mission was the sixth docking mission between the U.S. Space Shuttle and Russia's Mir Space Station. The Space Shuttle Atlantis launched on May 15,1997, with 7 crewmembers on board. Astronaut Michael Foale replaced Jerry Linenger as the fifth U.S. long-duration astronaut on the Mir. Linenger took Foale's place on the Shuttle for the return trip to Earth. The exchange of these crewmembers on Mir ushered in the NASA 5 mission, and marked the end of a successful NASA 4 mission. During the 5 days of joint U.S.-Russian operations, astronauts and cosmonauts transferred the science samples and data collected by the Mir 22/Mir 23/NASA 4 crew from the Mir to the Shuttle, where they were returned to Earth to be analyzed by researchers. Crewmembers also transferred 7,314 pounds of water and logistics to and from the Mir, including the hardware and supplies in support of the health and well-being of the Mir 23/Mir 24/NASA 5 crew and the science investigations on the station. On June 25, 1997, during a docking maneuver, the unmanned Progress resupply ship collided with the Mir complex, damaging the Mir module called Spektr. Spektr experienced a depressurization and was sealed off from the rest of the Mir station by the crew. Following this unfortunate incident, onboard activities focused on preserving as much science as possible. The Mir crew conducted repairs to parts of the space station. Some science hardware and research samples were lost, because they were inside the now inaccessible Spektr module. Partial loss of station electrical power also impacted the schedule and performance of life sciences investigations during the mission.

SEARCH: Spacewatch: Backyard Astronomy advertisement NASA Science Sets its Sights on Human Mars Mission By Robert Roy Britt Senior Science Writer posted: 02:45 pm ET 05 February 2003 NASA's 2004 budget request, released Monday and overshadowed by the Columbia disaster, represents strong support for space science. It also shows hints of an elevated commitment to Mars both as a science target and a place NASA wants to eventually send humans. For the moment, space science has taken a backseat to the shuttle investigation, within NASA and among scientists, politicians and the public. Researchers acknowledge and appreciate that it could take many months for experiments aboard shuttles to get back on track.

Books Bibliography Scientific Papers Curriculum ... Newsletters Printer Friendly Version Overview The "Life in the Universe" project is creating supplementary science curricula for elementary and middle school students. The intent of the project is to take advantage of the intense interest that young students have in the existence of extraterrestrial life to motivate their studies of science and other subjects. The curriculum activities are drawn from the experience of SETI scientists, whose research requires considerations of astronomy, life sciences, earth sciences, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, and many other disciplines. The lessons, activities, and experiments now under development teach standard science concepts in the context of questions about the nature of life, its possible presence elsewhere in the universe, and the physical/chemical settings provided by space, planets, and stars, and within which other life might be sought. The science activities are designed by teachers and tested in their classrooms. They are "hands-on" in approach and philosophy, and encourage students to express their learning in alternative ways. The activities also encourage questioning, and provide many opportunities to reinforce critical thinking skills. Initial classroom trials demonstrate a high degree of student and teacher acceptance, and confirm the appeal of these activities to students of diverse backgrounds.
