Design a Mission
This downloadable bundle includes a series of visual sequences that can be used by a live Planetarium presenter and provides an opportunity to interact with visitors or students while exploring some of the basic steps in the engineering design process. Audiences or students will take an active role in selecting a mission and making spacecraft design choices and later learn whether their mission choices led to failure or success. A web-based version of the activity is available for teachers to use with their students.
- Audio:
This activity has no prerecorded narration or music, so audio is for sound effects only. Also note that not all clips have audio (only five of the thirteen clips contain audio). - Frames:
Each clip represents one choice or branch of the interactive activity. Depending on audience choices, each run of the activity will show different clips. - Guides:
Planetarian Handbook containing detailed instructions and background information for facilitators or educators running the Design a Mission activity.
Teacher bundle includes:
-
Educator Guide (pdf)
-
Video User Guide (pdf)

Gravity and Space Travel
This series of short (1-3 minute) clips for fulldome theaters or classrooms examines the use of gravity assists in space travel, and introduces audiences to the concepts of momentum and energy conservation. This module includes recorded narration and music but is designed to be flexible so that planetarians or teachers can opt to present portions of this content live, rather than using the full prerecorded clips.
- Audio:
Stereo and 5.1 surround mono wav tracks for each of the five segments of the "Gravity and Space Travel" module. - Frames:
Each segment ranges from approximately 1-2 minutes, and may be played either with breaks in-between to accommodate live interaction or as one continuous sequence. - Guides
Planetarian Handbook containing detailed instructions and background information for facilitators or educators running the "Gravity and Space Travel" videos.
Teacher bundle includes:
-
Educator Guide (pdf)
-
Video User Guide (pdf)
-
Videos with captions (5)

Fixing the Hubble Space Telescope
This 8-minute video for fulldome theaters or classrooms explores the challenges and engineering behind the Hubble repair. It includes recorded narration and music and features the voice of astronaut Jeff Hoffman, one of the astronauts on Hubble’s Servicing Mission 1 in 1993.
- Audio:
Stereo and 5.1 surround mono wav tracks for the "Fixing the Hubble Space Telescope" module. - Frames:
Hubble png domemasters at 4K (4096x4096) resolution. - Guides
