Orbital Debris Capture Simulator

通过拟议的活动，我们有一个独特的机会，以一种容易理解的方式交流科学和工程的重要性以及关键的基本原则。学生将始终是积极的参与者，探索和综合新的概念，学习和传授新技能，揭开一个经常被视为不可逾越的科学和技术领域的神秘面纱。该项目的总体目标如下：-为苏格兰多重剥夺指数所定义的弱势学校创造STEM学习机会--为解决STEM高等教育和继续教育中的性别失衡问题做出更广泛的努力--提高学生对空间碎片问题的认识，并邀请他们考虑成为解决方案的一部分--根据卓越课程，让学生接触并激发他们对尖端空间科学的热情--让未来的空间科学家第一次体验任务控制环境--创建并主办一场以空间碎片捕获科学为基础的学校竞赛--通过两年一次的学校竞赛并将其作为斯特拉斯克莱德太空学校活动的一部分，确保该项目的遗产我们特别针对学校受众，目标如下：-让参与者感受到空间科学和技术的启发-欢迎他们进入斯特拉斯克莱德的空间科学和工程环境-向他们展示研究的社会价值，以下学习成果是更具体的学习目标，即学生在这个项目期间和之后能够证明什么，涵盖了Bloom Taxonomy中的所有学习类型。我们建议中的活动将使所有能力和经验的学生能够学习和展示新技能，获得和交流新知识，并分析和评估复杂的科学和工程过程。Debry App和碎片捕获挑战：-学生将能够识别和描述关键类型的轨道物体-学生将能够根据轨道状况对轨道物体进行分类(LEO，MEO和GEO)--学生将展示建立简单心理模型的能力，展示物体的轨道行为如何影响其在地球上的地面轨道。-学生将评估不同的轨道物体，并根据它们对其他物体构成的危险对它们进行排序--学生将使用该应用程序收集或‘捕获’碎片，并将能够概括整个污染过程中轨道物体的特征和行为。

Through the proposed activities we have a unique opportunity to communicate the importance of science and engineering as well as key underlying principles in an accessible manner. Students will be active participants throughout, exploring and synthesising new concepts, learning and teaching new skills and demystifying an area of science and technology that is often seen as impenetrable.The following aims are the general aims of the project:- To create STEM learning opportunities for disadvantaged schools as defined by the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation- To contribute to the wider efforts to address the gender imbalance within STEM higher and further education- To raise awareness of the space debris problem for school students and invite them to consider being part of the solution- To engage and enthuse school students with cutting edge space science in line with the Curriculum for Excellence- To give future space scientists a first taste of a mission control environment- To create and host a schools competition based around space debris capture science- To ensure a legacy for the project through a biennial schools competition and its inclusion as an element of the Strathclyde Space School activitiesWe are targeting school audiences in particular with the following aims:- Make the participants feel inspired by space science and technology - Welcome them into space science and engineering environments at Strathclyde- Show them the value of the research's social, and economic impact in society - Encourage them to consider choosing to study or work in STEM at a higher and further education level.The following learning outcomes are the more specific learning aims, i.e what the students will be able to demonstrate during and after this project, cover the whole range of learning types found in Blooms Taxonomy. The activities in our proposal will enable students of all abilities and experience to learn and demonstrate new skills, gain and communicate new knowledge and analyse and evaluate complex science and engineering processes.Debris App and Debris Capture Challenge:- Students will be able to identify and describe key types of orbital objects- Students will be able to classify orbital objects based on their orbital regime (LEO,MEO and GEO)- Students will demonstrate the ability to build simple mental models of how an objects orbital behaviour effects its ground track on the Earth.- Students will appraise different orbital objects and order them based on their danger posed to other objects- Students will collect or 'capture' debris using the app and will be able to generalise features and behaviours of orbital objects across the entire pollution.
