In the first episode of Science All Around, we explore the fascinating world of satellites! Discover what they are, how they work and their role in observing our planet from space. Our guest expert, Javi from SATLANTIS, breaks down the key components of a satellite - its frame, brain, special equipment, power source, and protective shield - and explains how they work together. Clara, our youngest reporter, makes sure everything is clear for our future scientists.
Once you’ve listened to the podcast, it’s your turn. On the European Space Agency website, you can build your own model satellite, Aeolus, and play a game to assemble different satellites. Join us for an educational adventure into space!
