Your Mission: Design and build a robotic arm to perform some simple tasks. To help out in space, scientists have designed and used robotic arms for years. On Earth, scientists have designed robotic arms for …
Your Mission: Sample, grow, and investigate the microorganisms around us. Microbiologists have found that microbes can live just about everywhere, even on us! We have trillions of microbes inside and outside of our bodies. Run …
Your Mission: Investigate the relationship between microorganisms and many every day products. Microbes live everywhere, including outer space! Scientists have reported that some germs on the International Space Station can increase to a higher number …
Your Mission: Investigate healthy food choices and Calorie needs for life on earth vs. life in space Astronauts living on the International Space Station need balanced meals to meet their energy and health needs while …
Your Mission: Measure different body parts and explore how these measurements might change in space. How tall are you? Are you sure you know the answer? Studies show that the height of an astronaut increases approximately …
Your Mission: Perform a reaction time activity using a ruler to practice hand-eye coordination and concentration. In preparation for space travel, astronauts invest many hours in practicing their hand-eye reaction time. Operating the robotic arm …
Your Mission: Perform the “bear crawl” and “crab walk” to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination. In a reduced gravity environment, astronauts are unable to walk like they do on Earth. …
Your Mission: Perform a series of somersaults on the ground to improve body coordination, flexibility, balance and strengthen your back, abdominal and leg muscles. In the microgravity environment of the International Space Station astronauts can …
Your Mission: Train with a cycle to improve leg muscles, cardio-vascular fitness and endurance. One exercise device that is regularly used by astronauts on the International Space Station is the cycle ergometer. The cycle provides …
Your Mission: Perform an activity that blends together squats, pushups, and jumping in the air (burpees) to promote muscular strength, agility, coordination and endurance. In a reduced gravity environment, muscles and bones can become weak, …
