Satellites are placed in orbit around Earth
Data is gathered from outside Earth’s
atmosphere with special instruments
and telescopes. The information is sent back to
Earth and interpreted.

Spectroscopes
collect light from distant stars
separates light into bands of different colors (color spectrum)
Colors show the composition of a star (each element has its own color!)

Steps of Exploration
First step- Flybys
Quick data/image collection when flying by a planet.

Steps of Exploration
Second Step- Orbiters
Put in orbit around a planet to gather data over a long period of time.

Steps of Exploration
Third Step- Lander and Probes
Usually goes to places that are dangerous for astronauts.
Carry special equipment for each type of mission.

Space Probes
Travel outside Earth’s orbit
Travel to places that are too dangerous for astronomers
Contains instruments to collect data

Satellites
• help us predict the weather and warn people of dangerous storms

Technology
• Firefighters use the same fire-resistant material used for astronauts.
• Air/food/water purification
