Notes

III. SPACE AGE A. Artificial satellites built by people-most

are in geosynchronous orbit. (around the Earth)

1. Communication satellites-used to beam TV, Radio and phone signals.

2. Weather satellites-help predict weather and track storms.

3. Navigational satellites (GPS) send info to planes and ships for location

4. Scientific satellites used to study Earth and space

Space spin-offs - society benefits

from space technology.

examples - Velcro, fabrics, pacemakers, medical equipment, food processing, computers.

IV. THE MOON

A. Apollo Project 1. Sent men to the

moon 2. Neil Armstrong

was first man to walk on the Moon-July 20, 1969

Stats of the Moon:1. One fourth earth's

diameter

2. Has 1/6 of our gravity

3. Is 250,000 miles away

4. Laser mirror left on the moon used to measure distance.

5. We also measure moonquakes.

C. FEATURES OF THE MOON

1. No atmosphere therefore no weather and the sky is black even during the day

2. Many craters caused by meteorites hitting it.
