space science talk for 5th grade class
DESCRIPTION
This is a presentation that I created to talk with my daughter's 5th grade class about space and the importance of science. I worked on the EO-1 satellite primarily and show the value of remote sensing and how it relates to ecology, meteorology and environmental science.TRANSCRIPT

How to test?Spacecraft can’t be fixed after launch
Spacecraft is essentially a robot
Runs 10s of millions of lines of code
Required an entire ‘farm’ of computers to simulate:
Spacecraft
Space
Earth
