On Tuesday, we were very lucky to have a visit from one of our parents, Hina Khan, who works for the Scottish Centre of Excellence in Satellite Applications, based at Strathclyde University. This helped to support our Space topic and World Space week (4th- 10th October).
She came in and worked with us to teach us all about satellites space exploration and the development of this over time; in particular, that satellites are getting smaller! She also told us about the important work being done in Scotland to support space exploration, through’ Clyde Space’ and Prestwick Airport.
We spent time researching information on 3 satellites – ROSETTA, INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND UKUBE-1.
We also got to make a model of a CubeSat, which is the actual size of a real satellite!
Thank you to Hina Khan for the fabulous afternoon.
