A collection of resources about asteroids, meteorites and comets.
Astrium
This resource features five inspiring people who developed Bridget, a six-wheeled ExoMars rover.
Bridget is a prototype of the vehicle that will be the largest and most sophisticated vehicle ever to visit Mars.
...Astrium- Engineered in Britain
Astrium is Europe’s largest space company, employing 3,500 people in the UK alone. Astrium produces some of the world’s leading edge earth observation, science and telecommunication satellites in one of the most exciting sectors of the engineering profession.
In 2016, European Space Agency Astronaut, Tim Peake, carried out a series of experiments on the International Space Station, using equipment designed by the National Space Academy.
The overall programme includes the following topics from UK physics and chemistry secondary school curricula:
- ...
Astro Academy: Principia - careers
This video features Anu Ohja talking about the growth of the UK space sector and the involvement in of the UK in human spaceflight.
This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating circular motion. In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate how objects move in a circular path without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the...
This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating the physics of collisions. In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate how objects collide without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the classroom...
Astro Academy: Principia - gravity
This video explains the concept of gravity and why everything on the International Space Station appears to float.
This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating kinetic theory. In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate the behaviour of an ideal gas without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the classroom...
This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
