The Mars Mission: Marvellous Machines
This resource supports learning about the ExoMars rover, which will travel across the Martian surface and drill up to two metres below the surface to collect and analyse samples in the search for evidence of life. These activities support children in finding out how more about the rover and the ExoMars mission. The...
The Mars Mission: Robots
The European Space Agency’s (ESA), new robotic rover Rosalind Franklin will explore Mars and send back data vital for human exploration in the future. This resource provides activities for different age ranges, which are:
4-5
In this activity, the children are introduced to robots...
What do you have to consider when designing satellites? And what mathematics is involved?
This collection of resources aims to help students discover the answers to these questions and more. Each resource contains a range of student activities and teacher guidance, covering content most suitable for Key...
The Mathematics of Satellite Design - Communications Frame
Being able to develop cost-effective solutions is an important aspect of engineering and one that students investigate in this challenge. This challenge looks at the maximum volume of a satellite communications frame made from a fixed length of tubing. There is some guidance given to students through a series of...
The Mathematics of Satellite Design - Connecting Radiators
Connecting radiators
Radiators are used to keep the communications part of a satellite at an optimum temperature. This is necessary in order for the equipment to function correctly. Connecting the radiators together adds robustness to the system. In this challenge students investigate the...
The Mathematics of Satellite Design - Coolant tank, fuel tank and engine design
All the resources listed here are aimed at the age group 14 to 16, except for the "Space for Engine" resource.
Coolant tank design
Making efficient use of physical space and of materials is a central theme of many engineering problems. In this challenge students...
The Mathematics of Satellite Design - Origami
Origami with squares
Solar panels are an important part of satellite design. There are design constraints on the distance a panel can be from the core of the satellite. In order to increase the area of the panels, satellites of the future may well deploy panels other than rectangular ones....
The Mathematics of Satellite Design - Overview
These 17 resources use the context of satellite design to link in to areas of the mathematics curriculum.
The challenges enable students to take an active stance in the solving of mathematical problems. This is achieved through a variety of approaches; some of the challenges are very open, whilst for others...
