Students learn how NASA decodes spacecraft data, then students decode their own data to reveal space images.

Students draw and interpret topographic maps while learning about technology used to map Earth's surface, the seafloor, and other worlds.

In this intermediate-level programming challenge, students use microdevices along with light and mirrors to build a relay that can send information to a distant detector.

In this advanced programming activity, students will construct a light-wavelength detector to model future technology for communicating with spacecraft.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to reveal the size of a planet outside our solar system, find out how much helium is raining out from Jupiter's cloud tops, locate a seismic event on Mars and study an interstellar object detected in our so

In this illustrated math challenge, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate how long it will take an Earth satellite to image the entire planet.

How many images does it take to map the dwarf planet Ceres? Students use the mathematical constant pi to find out in this illustrated math problem.

Students learn to read, interpret and compare “heat map” representations of Earth science data.
