Materials:

• Device with Internet access

Learn & Practice:

1. Make sure your logged into Discovery Education with your school account.
2. Click here for your DE Studio Board: Astronaut on the career of an Astronaut.
3. The Studio Board will guide you as you learn about the requirements to become an Astronaut and their salary.
4. Challenge: Your task is to take on the role of an astronaut, helping to design and test the landing craft for the Orion mission! The engineers have built a carrier capable of withstanding re-entry into the atmosphere and landing safely in the ocean, However, there is a chance that the capsule will land upside down in the water, compromising the safety of you and your team. You are now tasked with working with NASA engineers to design an effective safety system to upright the landing carrier in the event of an inverted water landing!
5. Explore information on NASA’s Orion: https://www.nasa.gov/content/j2mgetting-to-mars-sls-and-orion
6. Using materials from around your house/classroom, blueprint and build a prototype of your water landing safety system. To meet all the safety regulations for the Orion lander, your safety system must:
   • Safely turn the landing craft right side up should it land upside down in the water.
   • Have an activation method (automatic or manual).
7. Design a prototype of your landing system and test it.
8. Share your safety system with your family or friends, or teacher if you want! Have a discussion about what the landing safety systems all have in common, then analyze how the design and materials upright the carrier.
9. Extend your learning:
   • Design safety systems for landing on other terrains (mountains, flat land, etc.)
