So far, we've learned about a few of the parts that actually make up the International Space Station. 00:00:00
That's right, and you've been given the opportunity to put together your own model of a space station. 00:00:05
You know, I wonder how difficult it is for the astronauts to actually dock the shuttle to the space station. 00:00:09
Technology is the key. Let's connect to Shelley Kenwright and learn more. 00:00:15
NASA Connect traveled northeast to Chicago, Illinois, for this program's web-based activity. 00:00:19
You're right, Jennifer. Technology can and will transform the way we train and educate. 00:00:26
And that's why I've brought you here to Chicago, Illinois, 00:00:31
to introduce you to NASA Connect's museum partner, the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, 00:00:34
and to tempt you to apply your hands and your minds to an online spaceflight experience. 00:00:39
As you can see, Adler offers the public many different ways to learn about and to explore science and astronomy. 00:00:44
We're now here in the Solar System Gallery, 00:00:55
where students from Bright Elementary School and the AIAA student branch of the Illinois Institute of Technology 00:00:57
have gathered and are waiting for you to introduce you to a new website created especially for NASA Connect 00:01:03
by the NASA Classroom of the Future, which is located in Wheeling, West Virginia. 00:01:08
Our friends at the Classroom of the Future have put together a unique experience 00:01:13
that combines Internet-based simulations, hands-on activities, and orbital mechanics. 00:01:16
Orbital mechanics? 00:01:22
No, no, it's not about fixing things in space, 00:01:24
but it's how things like motion, acceleration, and force affect objects in space, 00:01:27
like the planets, the moon, the stars, the U.S. space shuttle, and the International Space Station. 00:01:32
So how about it, gang? Do you have the right stuff for this program's online challenge? 00:01:38
From Norbert's lab on the NASA Connect website, click on the Activity button. 00:01:43
Here you'll find the first hands-on experiment designed to get you ready to use the web-based orbital simulator. 00:01:47
Using a plastic ruler, two glass or metal balls, a few cans, masking tape, and a stopwatch, 00:01:53
you'll be able to define the difference between steady motion and acceleration. 00:01:59
This simulator gives you the opportunity to view two objects orbiting a planet or star. 00:02:04
By adjusting the orbital radius of one of the objects, 00:02:09
you can begin to explore how radius, speed, and orbital period are all connected. 00:02:12
After using the simulator, you'll begin to understand how to answer this question. 00:02:17
How can we use our knowledge of orbits to help the shuttle rendezvous with the International Space Station? 00:02:21
The Shuttle ISS Orbital Simulator will get you ready for the actual docking activity you will do with your classmates. 00:02:27
On this website, you will start with the shuttle and ISS orbiting the Earth at the same altitude and 90 degrees apart. 00:02:33
The challenge is to determine the most efficient way to position the two objects 00:02:40
so that they are traveling at the same speed and close enough to each other to perform the visual docking maneuvers. 00:02:44
Now, let's start an activity that deals directly with the International Space Station. 00:02:50
I'm Don Watson. I'm with NASA's Classroom of the Future 00:02:55
and part of their International Space Station Challenge website activity. 00:02:58
Today, we're doing a docking simulation. 00:03:02
We're going to do that by actually building a docking simulator using an office chair on wheels, 00:03:04
tripod, video camera, a docking grid mounted in front, and a TV. 00:03:09
We're also going to do command and control with two-way radios. 00:03:14
We're having thrusters that are using ropes for control. 00:03:17
And command and control is from Mission Control. 00:03:20
Mission Control's only reference is the video image that they see on the screen. 00:03:24
They give movement commands to the pilot. 00:03:28
The pilot relays that information to the thrusters. 00:03:30
The thrusters move, and hopefully we successfully rendezvous and dock to the space station. 00:03:33
All additional information about how to construct the docking challenge 00:03:38
and the chair and all activity-related material is at NASA's Connect website. 00:03:42
Bringing to you the power of digital learning, I'm Shelley Canright for NASA Connect Online. 00:03:47
Bye! 00:03:53
