LunarSS: Inspiring the Future Dana Pugh ASTE 527 December 15, 2008

Lack of Science and Engineering Interest Where have all the engineers gone? “Between 1986 and 2006, there was a 3 percent decrease in engineering graduates.” 5...4...3...2...Yawwwwwn “… but it is hard for most Americans to care much about the space program when they are worried about keeping their jobs, making house payments and putting food on the table.” Yuri’s Night Rationale Document (embedded) New Engineering Graduates: In recent years, the U.S. has produced approximately 72K per year (compared to China's 351K) Decline in education: U.S. 12th-graders are below the international average on mathematics and science

Inspiring the Next Generation

Lunar Space Scope Architecture

Interfaces

Operational Architecture

Sensory Systems Camera: Advanced versions of Hubble imaging systems Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) Near Infrared Camera and Multi-object Spectrometer (NICMOS) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) Temperature Monitoring Systems Seismic Activities Monitors – study meteor hits Radiation Detectors

Power/Communication/ Integration Power Power needed for each sensory system 60W to run laptop Communication Images & Sensor information sent in “bursts” Interchangeable sensor/camera system Allows technology to be top of the line

How are Kids involved Request the picture on the website interface Observatory will be pointing to what area Models Simulations Communication closely with LunarSS Observatory Operations Associate the work with the class project Label the different kinds of galaxies Label the names of the stars Astrology Something New – You name it!
