EARTH SCIENCE CHALLENGE

The following activities were part of the Richard Gariott Earth Science activities, or inspired by his work on orbit.

  • Earth Science Garriott Target Challenge


    When Richard Garriott is in space, he took photographs of the Earth, many of which replicated some of the photographs his father, astronaut Dr. Owen Garriott took 35 years ago on Skylab. Looking at astronaut photography over time, we can see changes that have happened on Earth over the last generation. We can use this information to see how humans have impacted different regions on the planet over time and to make predictions about what may occur in the future.
  • International Space Station (ISS) Activities


    How do we track the ISS? – Activities to support student’s investigations into locating and viewing the ISS from Earth.
