Nasa Tv Advanced Equipment to Use on the Moon NASA is currently testing potential equipment that can be used on missions back to the moon. Moses Lake, Wash., the site for the tests, has a surface similar to that of the moon. This segment introduces two advanced pieces of equipment that NASA is developing: the All Terrain Hex-Legged Extra Terrestrial Explorer, or ATHLETE, and the Chariot. ATHLETE is a rover with six wheels that will be able to transport up to 450 kg of cargo at a rate of 10 km/h. The Chariot, the new moonbuggy, is powered by two motors with 12 wheels that can pivot in all directions at the speed of 24 km/h. education Earth From Space" (2002) Our Home: Earth From Space is a Telly award winning video introduction to Earth System Science. Two student guides demonstrate connections between various Earth system components and challenge the viewer to look for their own connections in the Earth system. The video consists of an introduction to Earth system science followed by short segments on the use of satellites to study Earth, El Nino, global warming, drought and hurricanes. The video is neatly broken into segments so that an individual segment can be shown as each topic is studied in the classroom.
