<P><FONT SIZE=2>REALLY - YOU WANT TO GO TO THE MOON, MARS, AND BEYOND????</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Back in 1985, the book "LIVING ALOFT: Human Requirements for Extended</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Spaceflight" wrote about the concerns for extended space flight.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Think about it, stuffed into a can for a long period of time. Could you do</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>it without punching out your fellow travelers?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I found it interesting to flip through the pages of SP-483 to see what</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>thought important back in 1985 and what was hoped to be accomplished on the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>International Space Station, yet to be built.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2><A HREF="http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/station/">http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/station/</A></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The first module of the MIR would go up in 1986 and the first two modules of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the ISS would be joined in 1998. The first crew would not take command</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>until 2000.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Now we say the ISS is just orbiting around Earth and we want to go further.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Are we ready for that??? - LRK -</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Take a look at the table of contents for SP-483.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Have we found the answers?</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Liftoff!</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Space Station Science</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>In this lesson, you will explore specific science experiments being planned</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and carried out on the International Space Station (ISS).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You will use a variety of 3-D and virtual models, interactive games and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>tutorials, videos, audios, and images to explore the systems and components</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of the International Space station.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Some of the questions you will be able to answer include: How will</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>long-duration spaceflight change the nature of science done in low-Earth</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>orbit? How do the basic physical, chemical, and biological processes and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>how they behave in microgravity? What benefits will it have for people on</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Earth?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In addition you will look at what life in a weightless environment is like</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>in the chapter, Living Aloft. Finally you will explore some of the cutting</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>edge technologies NASA has studied for the space station and beyond.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In the Liftoff section are four chapters to read and enjoy. There are many</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>images, links, videos and interactive models and games to link to on the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>internet. The Mission section is the activity that you need to turn in via</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the Comm Link. Don't forget to do the Quick Quiz after you have done the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>reading. The Extended Mission is a collection of links on the topic that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>you can use for further information, it is divided up into Activities and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Research. When deciding on a final project the extensions are a good way to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>begin.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>For your assignment, you will choose an experiment that was done on board</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the Space Shuttle and redesign the experiment for long duration on the ISS.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2> Objectives</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Lesson Eleven - Mission: Possible</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>At the end of this lesson, students will be able to assess the physical and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>psychological impact of long duration space voyages by determining the needs</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and requirements for the total health of human crews (both physical and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>psychological) involved in a mission to the planet Mars. Students will be</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>able to determine the requirements of a manned mission to the planet Mars</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>including rationales for why we may first return to the Moon.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Students will explore virtual-reality models, 3-D models, videos, online</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>tutorials, and other multimedia links about human missions to Mars to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>accomplish this.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Specifically, upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Determine mission requirements (time factors)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Cite the hazards of radiation and meteoroid impact</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Identify microgravity issues and Mars (one-third) gravity issues</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Explain the nutritional and exercise needs of astronauts and/or colonists</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Describe psychological adaptations and requirements of long-duration</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>spaceflight including,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Communications</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Keeping time</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Recreation, and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Team and interpersonal relationships</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Justify the need for the prototyping and testing of systems on the Moon</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Determine the characteristics and requirements of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Interplanetary spacecraft</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>In-situ resource utilization</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Habitats and laboratories</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Plant growth facilities</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Mars space suits and tools</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Rover transportation</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Determine the characteristics of the ellipse</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>in order to aid in calculating the Holman Transfer.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Students will write a 300-word essay addressing one health concern for a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>human mission to Mars and design a piece of equipment, an apparatus, or a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>facility that will be needed by future explorers on Mars.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Successful knowledge acquisition will be determined by students submission</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of 300-word essay and a design for a piece of equipment, an apparatus, or a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>facility that will be needed by future explorers that includes a drawing and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>a ½ page description of how their design works, answering the Mars math</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>questions correctly and by scoring at least 75 percent on the quiz.</FONT>
