We are going to find out how it does what it does
3. What does the spacecraft need?
In Unit 2 you had a chance to work on engineering challenges like discovering what spacecraft need
Spacecraft need a power supply
The ability to collect data
The ability to send data to the Earth and receive commands from the Earth
The ability to change orientation
Protection from radiation and micrometeorites
4. This Lesson
In this lesson you will discover, report on, and learn how and why the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory is one of the most prolific space data collection systems in space history.
