Extrahabitat Activities (EHAs)Activities performed outside of Lunar habitats will be part of an astronaut’s duties when 

exploring the moon.

Page 23: NES: Math and Science @ Work— Lunar Surface Instrumentation · 7.03.2012  · Math and Science @ Work: Lunar Surface Instrumentation Hosted By Jordan Snyder Education Specialist

• One such EHA may be to service lunar instruments in proximity of an outpost. 

• Students are given the location of three different instruments and asked to determine the astronaut’s displacement and distance traveled during the EHA.
