AST 102 Week 1 Discussion 3 | Colorado Community College Online
Overview:
Our understanding of the Universe around us
comes largely from the many space missions/programs that study our solar system
and beyond. Technology has now advanced us to a point that we have a pretty
good basic understanding of what is outside of our tiny little planet, Earth.
For this discussion, you will research one of these space missions/program
that has given us so much information either about our Solar System or our
galaxy/universe.
Instructions:
Conduct research on a specific
mission/program (put the name of your mission/program in the subject line) and
tell us:
·
when it was put into service, who runs it,
where is it located (think beyond NASA – there are other countries out there!)
·
what type of mission/program it is:
telescope (e.g. optical, radio, x-ray, etc.), or spacecraft
·
if it uses any special technology in its
use to gather data
·
WHY it IS or Why it IS NOT useful to our
understanding the universe around us (any big discoveries made).
·
Include the official homepage website (an
active hotlink along with proper citations) to your mission/telescope.
·
Avoid missions that are in orbit
around Earth studying our own planet.
·
Your post should be 2-3 paragraphs in
length and no shorter than 150 words - also supply a word count.
·
Supply your reference(s) with active
hotlinks along with proper APA style citations.
·
Remember that you may not copy anyone
else's mission/program
