Earth Odyssey
A satellite that’s been collecting data about Earth is malfunctioning. Your students will collaborate to capture the satellite using a robotic arm, download the data, and identify new information to analyze, test, and explore Earth.
They’ll then work in teams to build technologies for a new satellite launch at the end of the mission. The satellite will collect data on Earth’s processes that are constantly changing due to our global changing climate and will help scientists further study the dramatic impact that climate change has on our planet.
When an emergency arises, the crews will work together to overcome an impactful weather event. It’s up to your students to work together to make this mission a complete success.
