Explain what a space probe is and what it is
used for.
A 200
A probe is a craft of instruments sent to
observe the properties of another object in space.
A 200
The Mars rover is an example of what type
of spacecraft?
A 300
A 300
It is a SPACE PROBE
Give 3 reasons why we send robotic
probes to explore space rather than
humans.
A 400
A 400
1. Robots do not need food, water and air.2. Robots do not need sleep3. Robots do not need to be entertained and do
not get bored or lonely.4. Robots do not need a return trip home5. Robots are cheaper6. Human are not at risk of dying
How are the Saturn V Apollo rockets different than the Space
Transport System (Space Shuttle)? A 500
Apollo/ Saturn V
• 3 astronauts
• Can go to the moon
• Little space inside
• 4 stages
• faster
A 500
STS / Space Shuttle
• 7 astronauts
• Can’t go to the moon
• More space inside
• 2 stages
• Can haul large payload into orbit

What are 3 advantages of using Cape Canaveral as a
launch site?
• Eastward launches over water provide a safe place for booster rockets and debris to fall in the ocean.
• It is close to the equator so the rocket needs less fuel to reach orbit than one launched near the poles.
• Nearby military bases provided good roads.
C 500
What part of the EM spectrum would a satellite use
to observe cloud cover?
D 100

Infrared Light
D 300
Where were the instruments aboard
research satellites aimed when they observed massive solar flares?
D 300
At the SUN!
Why are satellites useful for communication?
D 400
They can reach a wider area than land based
communication methods.
D 400
What part of the EM spectrum would a satellite use to observe the density of
vegetation (plant life) on Earth?
D 500
A combination of visible and infrared light.
D 500
A combination of visible and infrared light.
