Research Assignment: Space Exploration Missions

This assignment requires some research on various space exploration missions to compile a scrapbook of text and images. A good place to start your research is NASA’S online listing of past and present space missions.

1. Research these missions and/or projects.
   • Ranger
   • Mariner Missions
   • Galileo
   • Viking I and Viking II
   • Cassini
   • Mars Pathfinder
   • Mars Exploration Rover-Spirit
   • Voyager I and Voyager II
   • New Horizons
2. Compile a scrapbook of images and text. You can create a Word document or a slideshow presentation for your scrapbook. Include the following in your scrapbook:
   • have a single page or slide for each mission listed
   • describe the goals of the mission and what part of the solar system it explored or is now exploring
   • describe the achievements of the mission and show any pictures that resulted from the mission—pictures can be downloaded from websites
