Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster.... Roll :... The long axis of the International Space Station rotates one complete revolution(end-over-end) during each full orbit around the Earth. Student Activity : Place a globe of the Earth on a table near the centre of the room. Walk around the room so that you are always facing the globe. How must you turn in order that you always face the globe? How much must the International Space Station turn during each orbit around the Earth so that it always has the same face "looking" down at the Earth? Student Challenge : Looking down on the Earth's North Pole, the International Space Station orbits the Earth in a counter-clockwise direction(this is the same direction as the Earth turns on its axis). Sketch the Earth(looking down on the North Pole) and add the orbit of the International Space Station. Show the ISS at three or four points during the orbit. Assuming the Sun is to the left of your diagram, what happens to the solar panels as the ISS travels around the Earth? If the ISS "tumbles" as it orbits the Earth, can you figure out how to keep the solar panels always facing the Sun? 1, record 1, English, - roll

Affiche «Rock'n'roll spatial». [...] Culbutes : [...] Le grand axe de la Station spatiale internationale effectue une révolution complète (de bout en bout) à chaque orbite que la station effectue autour de la Terre. Activité de l'élève : Placez un globe terrestre sur une table au centre d'une pièce. Faites le tour de la pièce de manière à ce que le globe soit toujours directement dans votre champ de vision. Comment devez-vous tourner pour que le globe soit toujours devant vous? Comment la Station spatiale internationale doit-elle tourner pendant chaque orbite autour de la Terre pour que ce soit toujours le même côté qui soit «orienté» vers la Terre? Défi : En prenant le pôle Nord comme point d'observation, nous constatons que la Station spatiale internationale orbite autour de la Terre dans le sens anti-horaire (dans le même sens que la Terre tourne autour de son axe). Faites un croquis de la Terre (en prenant le pôle Nord comme point d'observation) et reproduisez l'orbite empruntée par la Station spatiale internationale. En supposant que le Soleil est à gauche du croquis, qu'arrive-t-il aux panneaux solaires pendant que l'ISS tourne autour de la Terre? Si L'ISS «culbute» pendant qu'elle orbite autour de la Terre, pouvez-vous trouver un moyen qui permettrait de faire en sorte que les panneaux solaires soient toujours face au Soleil? 1, record 1, French, - culbute
