Adventures in Outer Space: SUBORBITAL SPACEFLIGHT
http://adventures-in-outer-space.blogspot.com/p/suborbital-spaceflight.html
In this, the first of four aerospace-based S.T.E.M. projects, students will calculate the Virgin Galactic. Maximum altitude, the time spent weightless, and the time spent in space. Students will also calculate the spaceflight duration given the duration of each part of the spaceflight. A connection to the Internet. Who are the pioneers of parabolic spaceflight? What is the maximum height of a parabolic spacecraft? Where does space actually begin? When was the first COMMERCIAL parabolic spaceflight? Analy...

Adventures in Outer Space: CREW MODULE MASS
http://adventures-in-outer-space.blogspot.com/p/crew-module-mass.html
In this, the second of a four-part interconnected astronautics-based S.T.E.M. project, students will calculate the total weight of the Crew Module, the place where astronauts live while conducting a space mission. Students will also calculate the number of astronauts needed to conduct the space mission. About 4.5 weeks. Spacecraft Systems Weight (lbs). Here is a short ( 3 min) video of the Boeing CST-100. And how the spacecraft returns to earth. The Boeing CST-100 Crew Module in action (0:02:13). This gi...

Adventures in Outer Space: THE ROCKET EQUATION
http://adventures-in-outer-space.blogspot.com/p/the-rocket-equation.html
In this, the third of a four-part interconnected astronautics-based S.T.E.M. project, students will calculate the weight of the rocket propellant (both the fuel and the oxidizer) needed to conduct a space mission. Students will also calculate the total weight of the Engine Module. The Crew Module is attached to the Engine Module to form a complete spacecraft. About 4.5 weeks. Periapsis delta V (kps). Apoapsis delta V (kps). Delta V Budget (kps). Crew Module Weight (lbs). Rocket Inert Weight (lbs). To cal...

Adventures in Outer Space: UNPOWERED GLIDE LANDING
http://adventures-in-outer-space.blogspot.com/p/unpowered-glide-landing.html
In this, the fourth and final aerospace-based S.T.E.M. chapter, students will track the position and speed of a spacecraft that is landing at Spaceport America. Which is located at 33 degrees North Latitude. Students will also determine the spacecraft descent rate, ground speed, and time until touchdown. About 4.5 weeks. Who are the pioneers of spaceports? What is the Complement of an angle? Where can a spaceport be located? When was Spaceport America open for business? Wait I have to do science and.

Adventures in Outer Space: DELTA V AND TRANSFER TIME
http://adventures-in-outer-space.blogspot.com/p/delta-v-and-transfer-time.html
DELTA V AND TRANSFER TIME. In this, the first of a four-part interconnected astronautics-based S.T.E.M. project, students will calculate the change in orbital velocity (Delta V) needed to change the orbital altitude of a spacecraft. Students will also calculate the total round-trip time to transfer between orbits, and use that information to determine the duration of their space mission. About 4.5 weeks. Lower Orbital Altitude (km). Higher Orbital Altitude (km). Hohmann Transfer Orbit Equations. The firs...
