Welcome to Space StationFreedom This booklet was prepared by the National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration (NASA) for use by teachers in the classroomor by parents at home. The descriptions, classroom activities and illustrationsare meant to be presented to elementary-level school children by a teacheror a parent. On each right-hand page is a simple line drawing that illustrates the narrative and the activitiesdescribed on the left- hand page. The drawings can be reproduced and colored by thestudents. The activities are presented in the following format: Classroom Activity: Subject Matter Briefly describes the classroom activity. Materials and Tools: Lists items needed to conduct the classroomactivity. Procedures: Describes how to conduct the classroom activitystep-by-step. Additional Activity: Gives ideas of additional activitiesthat can be conducted or explains how to use the illustrations foran educational activity. This booklet may be reproduced in wholeor in part without permission or restrictions. Illustrations on facing pages 3 Space Shuttle Lift-off! The National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) will launch Space Station Freedom part by part in the large cargo )ay of the SpaceShuttle.It will take about 19 Shuttle flights over a period of four years to build Freedom in orbitaround Earth. In 1996, the Shuttle will carry four important parts of Freedominto orbit.Just as toy building blocks need bottom blocks to hold them together,the first four parts will provide the foundation on which the rest of Freedom will be built.Additional parts will be taken up throughout 1996. In 1997, Freedom will be ready for people to come aboardfor short periods of time. The first astronauts will visit for at least 13 days at a time. In 2000, the building process will be complete. Four orfive times a year after that, the Shuttle will return to Freedom to bring up crew replacements, newexperiments, new supplies and spare parts, and will return people, equipment,and finished products to Earth. How old will you be in 2000, when Freedom is completed? Classroom Activity: Space Shuttle Model Construction This activity allows an entire class or group to participate in building a Space Shuttle (orbiter) model. Materials and Tools: 2-liter plastic soda pop bottle Stabilizer shape 2 egg cartons 177 ml paper cup Masking tape Newspaper Glue for papier-mâché White glue Scissors Procedures: 1. Cut two wings from the top of an egg carton as shown in the diagrams. Havethe students tape the wings, as shown, to the bottle. 2. Cut out an "egg well" from the carton. Have the students tape this to thebottom of the cup to round off the flat surface. Ask them to tape the cup over the neck of the bottle. If the neck is too long to permit a good fit, trim it off a bit with a sharpknife. 3. Cut out a vertical tail for the model from the egg carton. Instruct the students to tapeit onto the bottle. 4. Show the students how to cover the model with papier-mâché using narrowstrips of newspaper. Let the papier-mâché dry and add additionallayers for strength. 5. Cut three egg wells to make engines for the orbiter. Have the students covereach well with papier-mâché. Let it dry. 6. When the body of the orbiter and the engines are dry, show the students how toglue the engines to the tail end of the model. 7. Have the students paint the model and add decals, stars, and other decorations. 4 2 Space Station Control Center NASA will need many people onEarth to monitor the systems andthe crew on Space Station Freedom. Most of this willbe done using satellite communicationsfrom the Space Station Control Center at the JohnsonSpace Center in Texas. Scientistsand engineers at different locations around the world alsowill be able to receive and send messagesto and from Freedom. The Control Center will have manycomputers operated by flightcontrollers who will be in continual contact, day andnight, with the astronauts. Theflight controllers and and microphones to communicatewith each other. astronauts also will use earphones questions, or They will be able to help the astronautssolve any problems, answer their assist them with experiments. The Control Center will have large screensthat will show the location ofFreedom in relation to Earth at all times. Classroom Activity: Communications This activity demonstrates how peoplewho cannot see each other mustcommunicate in order to get a job done. Materials and Tools: Partition or wall that separates twopeople but still allows them to heareach other Tinker Toys Procedures: 1. Ask for two volunteers. Ask onestudent to sit behind a partition whilethe second student constructs a simple structure of anydesign using Tinker Toys. The firststudent must not be able to see themodel being built. 2. After the model is completed, givethe first student the correct numberand type of Tinker Toys needed to build anothermodel. 3. Ask the second student to tell thefirst student how to build the modelagain, step by step, without describing whatthe finished model looks like. 4. After the second model iscompleted, have the two students comparetheir models. How is this exercise like communicatingwith astronauts in space? Do the two models resemble eachother? Do you think it is important for the astronautsto practice their tasks on Earthbefore performing them in space? Why? Additional Activity: Identify the continents and oceans onthe Control Center screen in the illustration. Use a globe to show the path of SpaceStation Freedom over the continents. 6 4 Rendezvous Here comes the Space Shuttle on a resupply mission to Space Station Freedom.Every 9J days the Space Shuttle will transport a new crew, supplies, and new experiments to Freedom.It will return to Earth with the previous crew members, wastes, experiment results, and new products made in space. Most of the crew will return to Earth every three months. Some will stay onFreedom for six months and some may stay longer, maybe as long as one full year. Long stayswill allow us to study the effects of low gravity or "weightlessness" on people. Right now, we do not know enough about staying in space for a long time. Astronauts can get sick and weak from being weightless. Weneed to find a way to keep them healthy and fit before we can send a crew to Mars. It may take two years to get to Mars and two years to get back. We also want to build an outpost and factories on the Moon. Before we do those things, we have a lot to learn about living and working on Space Station Freedom. Classroom Activity: Weightlessness This activity demonstrates that free-fall eliminates the local effects of gravity. If your school has videotape equipment, you may wish to tape the activity and replay the action using slow motion or pause controls. Materials and Tools: Plastic drinking cup Cookie sheet (with at least one edge without a rim) Catch basin (large pail or wastebasket) Water Chair or stepladder (optional) Towels Procedures: 1.Place the catch basin in the center of an open area in the classroom. Fill the cup with water. 2.Place the cookie sheet over the opening of the cup. Hold the cup tight to the cookie sheet while inverting the cookie sheet and the cup. 3. Hold the cookie sheet and cup high above the catch basin. You may stand on a sturdy table or climb on a stepladder to raise the cup high9r. While holding the cookie sheet level, slowly slide the cup to the edge of the cookie sheet. Observe what happens. 4.Refill the cup with water and invert in on the cookie sheet again. Quickly pull the cookie sheet straight out from under the cup. Observe the fall of the cup and the water. What happens to the water when the cup is inverted on the cookie sheet? What happens to the water when the cup falls? A Description of Space StationFreedom Space Station Freedom will be about aslong as a football field, including theend zones, and will weigh about as much as a jumbo 747airplane. It will be about as tall as a 24-story building.
