Microscopy
Technique using a beam of electrons as a source of illumination to obtain high resolution images.
What is electron microscopy?
This two-way end-to-end laser communications relay is the first of its kind for NASA.
What is ILLUMA-T?
Man-made objects, machines left by humans in space, broken machinery and satellite, tiny paint flecks.
What is Space Debris?
Names of Robotic Arms on ISS
What is Canadarm2 and JEMRMS?
What Purdue graduate was the first man on moon
Who is Neil Armstrong?
Successfully deployed in 2022, this mini electron microscopy microscope allows scientists to perform on-site experiments on the ISS.
What is Mochii?
This type of light is used by satellites in space for laser communication.
What is infrared?
Which can move faster: space debris, satellite, or a bullet?
What is space debris?
number of Arms in the JEMRMS system
What is 2?
Two US Astronauts share the record for most spaceflights: Franklin Chang-Diaz and this Purdue Space Day Guest Astronaut.
Who is Jerry Ross?
This type of electron microscopy generates images by transmitting electrons through specimen tissue.
What is TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy)?
This is the main benefit of using infrared light for communication as opposed to radio waves.
What is allowing more data per transmission?
What is the danger of space debris flying at high speeds?
Space Debris could puncture any equipment from an astronaut’s suit to any equipment causing major damages.
The robotic arm that you are using today uses hydraulics. Hydraulics is primarily the study of what state of matter?
Liquids
Pascal's Law states that a change in pressure in one region will ____ly distribute from syringe to syringe in the hydraulic arm?
What is even/equal?
ISS’ Mochii uses this type of electron microscopy to observe experiments involving crystal growth, fracture analysis, and more.
What is SEM (scanning electron microscopy)?
These space relays are used by the ISS to transmit data to the ground.
What are TDRS/Tracking and Data Relay Satellites?
Roughly how many pieces of space debris are currently in Earth's orbit?
What is millions?
Name one of the tasks for the robotic arm systems on the ISS.
What is Station Maintenance/Moving Supplies/ Assisting Docking?
The equation for the Hydraulic Arm Syringes is Pressure=Force/Area. If the area you push on is twice the area you actuate and pressure stays the same, is the force you apply reduced in half or doubled?
Doubled
You want to analyze a piece of extraterrestrial rock that your station has aquired. Which Electron Microscopy Technique (SEM or TEM) would you use to analyze this problem.
What is SEM?
To achieve global communications coverage, there are this many different TDRS satellite locations.
