How is climate change impacting our planet?

Earth-monitoring sensors on the International Space Station are outdated and need to be replaced with new, state-of-the-art hardware.

Your students will work together to capture a cargo craft using a robotic arm, monitor astronauts during a spacewalk as they install the new sensors, and analyze data from Earth-monitoring satellites. They’ll collect and analyze data, program robotic arms, and monitor astronaut vitals. The new sensors will collect data on Earth processes and events taking place on our planet.

Challenger Learning Center at Wheeling University (West Virginia)

Wheeling, WV
United States

In addition to offering award winning, state-of-the-art programs in an on-site space simulator, the Challenger Learning Center, thanks to technology, brings its innovative programs to distant classrooms around the world through its electronic distance-learning programs, known as e-Missions. The CLC flies more than 800 e-Missions for schools, many located in traditionally underserved districts, each year. We provide FREE virtual Teacher Training sessions for any of our distance learning programs.

The Challenger Learning Center® also offers adult and student learners the chance to climb aboard a space station and complete a mission in the role of astronauts, scientists, and engineers with its Corporate Missions. A successful mission requires critical thinking, leadership, cooperation, and problem solving.

Program Details

Format

As the crew members complete mission objectives, they’ll communicate with each other while monitoring real-time events on Earth. It’s critical that the crew maintain communications to ensure they can respond to any emergencies should they arise.

Crew members will help protect people and the environment by monitoring global events and predicting outcomes. The data retrieved from this mission are critical for scientists as they continue to investigate our Earth and how it is changing.
