Mars & Venus: Space Exploration

Mars & Venus:Space Exploration

INTRODUCTION

Humans have been curious about nature

Scientists send machines to explore other planets

Planets that have been explored {planets closest to earth} are Venus & Mars

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun

CHAPTER 1:EXPLORING VENUS

CAUSE & EFFECT

CAUSECraters are formed when meteors crashed into the surface of Venus AFFECTVenus has high mountains covered with many craters

CAUSE & EFFECT

CAUSEMariner 2 did a flyby which means it didn’t land on Venus, it just flew close to the planet AFFECTThe mission was a huge success

MAIN IDEAS:

Verena 9 Gravity Lander Mapping the surface Early Missions

CAUSE & EFFECT

CAUSEIN 1975 VERENA 9 LANDED SOFTLY ON VENUS

AFFECTIT SENT BACK PHOTOS FROM THE PLANET’S SURFACE

CHAPTER 2

EXPLORING MARS

CAUSE & EFFECT =🌑🌍

CAUSEMARS HAS SEASONS{“NORTH & SOUTH” POLESHAVE ICE , CLOUDS , FOG , LAVAFIELDS , CANYONS , &MOUNTAINS}

AFFECTMARS IS MUCH LIKE EARTH🌎🌙🌞

OTHER INFORMATION:

SCIENTISTS BEGAN LOOKING FOR LIFE ON MARS IN 1960 FROM 1960-1962 , 5 SPACECRAFTS WERE LAUNCHED TO MARS ALL 5 CRAFTS FAILED

MORE OTHER INFORMATION:

MARINER 4 PERFORMED THE 1ST SUCCESSFUL FLYBY OF MARS IT SENT THE 1ST PICTURES OF THE SURFACE OF MARS THEN IT SENT BACK EVEN CLEARER PICTURES OF MARS

MAIN IDEAS:

MARS HAS 687 DAYS IN A YEAR EARTH HAS 365DAYS IN A YEAR MARS LOOKS REDDISHFROM SPACE BECAUSE OF IT’S SOIL

MAIN IDEAS:

MERIDIANA IS POSSIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THERE WAS AN OCEAN ON MARS SCIENTISTS THINK THERE WAS ONCE LIFE ON THIS PLANET HEMATITE IS AN IRON LIKE MATERIAL USUALLY FORMED IN WATER

CHAPTER 3:FUTURE EXPLORATIONS

MESSANGER…

MESSANGER WILL FLY PAST VENUS TWICE EACH TIME IT WILL SEND BACK INFORMATION THIS PLANET IS THE CLOSEST TO EARTH

CAUSE & EFFECT:

VENUS HAS A THICK LAYER OF CLOUDS

THE CLOUDS TRAP HEAT & RAISE THE PLANETS TEMPERATURE

THOUGHTS OF SCIENTISTS:

Thought 1 is …SCIENTISTS FEAR THAT EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE IS BEGINNING TO THICKEN

Which could be…THEY THINK POLLUTION IS ADDING HARMFUL GASES TO EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE

whichTHIS CAUSES EARTH’S TEMPERATURE TO RISE

CAUSE & EFFECT:

CAUSE PICTURES FROM PRONES GET SENT TO

THE COMPUTEREFFECT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THESE

PICTURES FROM OUR HOME PLANET: EARTH

CAUSE & EFFECT:

CAUSE IN THE FUTURE YEARS, ROBOT

ROCKETS WILL GATHER PIECES OF OTHER PLANETS

EFFECT THEY’LL BRING THESE PIECES HOME

TO EARTH FOR SCIENTISTS TO STUDY

FUTURE ROBOT ROCKETS:

CONCLUSION:………………………………

MAIN IDEAS:

TALENTED SCIENTISTS MAKE SPACE EXPLORATION POSSIBLE PEOPLE FROM MANY FIELDS OF SCIENCE HAVE COMBINED THEIR SKILLS MACHINES FLY MILLIONS OF MILES THROUGH SPACE THEN THEY LAND

ON OTHER PLANETS THEY THEN SEND PICTURES & INFORMATION BACK TO EARTH THE MOST RECENT LAUNCH WAS ON 2003 ADVACED ROVERS EXPLORE THE SURFACE OF MARS VENUS ROTATES ONCE IN 243 EARTH DAYS VENUS TURNS 1 ½ TIMES DURING ONE EARTH YEAR

CAUSE & EFFECT:

CAUSE SCIENTISTS STILL SEEK ANSWERS TO

BIG QUESTIONS

EFFECT THE UNNAMED SPACE PROGRAM IS

HELPING FIND THESE ANSWERS

What do scientists send to explore other planets?

MACHINES SUCH AS ROVERS

When are crators formed & what can they cause?THEY ARE FORMED WHEN METEORS CRASHED INTO THE SURFACE OF VENUS.THEY CAN CAUSE HIGH MOUNTAINS COVERED IN CRATERS

What does Mars have that Earth also does?

MARS & EARTH BOTH HAVE SEASONS…

What is the name of the rover that made the 1st successful flyby of Mars?

MARINER 4

Which planet is the closest to the sun?

MERCURY

What will happen in future years to today’s rovers?

THEY WILL TURN INTO ROBOT ROCKETS

People from many fields of science have combined their _______.

SKILLS

How many times does Venus rotate in 243 days?

ONCE

THE ENDFINALLY RIGHT?IT’S ABOUT TIME….:)
