Video Highlights from NASA scientists
SME2: Women in STEM
Earth Observatory – Remote Sensing
Introduction and history of remote sensing
NASA Remote Sensing Example: Earth Sciences
Short example of how Dr. Milesi uses satellite remote sensing data to see how human activities are changing our planet.
Mars Community Builder
Google play download – simulation from Challenger Center inviting players to build a community on Mars using augmented reality. (Android only)
Imagine Mars
This standards-based, interdisciplinary project takes your students on a mission to Mars and brings them back with a new outlook on community, science and the arts.
Vesta Trek
Vesta is the second most massive body in the asteroid belt and is occasionally visible from Earth with a naked eye. Use Vesta Trek to explore its massive craters, and keep in mind that meteorites found on Earth have been traced back to originate from these areas.
Moon Trek
The Lunar Mapping and Modeling Portal (LMMP) is a web-based Portal and a suite of interactive visualization and analysis tools. It allows users to search, view and download mapped lunar data products from past and current lunar missions.
