Orion’s Quest missions are designed
to engage students in supporting the work of scientists conducting
space-based research. Studies shown as “active” indicate
the investigation is currently in space and available during
the current school year. Student data collected during
“active” missions is forwarded to the Principle
Investigator (PI) for possible inclusion in appropriate data
bases.
Those studies listed as “virtual” are based
on missions previously in space. These missions use all
of the curriculum materials, downlinked photos and other data
used in the original study. Students engage in the same
activities and submit their data to scientists at Orion’s Quest.
