PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis IQP explores the importance of the space program in society. It focuses on the impact of how space technology enhances our lives on Earth. We present a history of the space program and describe five examples of space technology and specific uses: remote sensing, GPS, radar, SAR, and lidar. We conclude with a brief cost assessment and survey in support of the view that space funding is justifiably valuable.
