NASA needs your help! After a month in space, your crew of astronauts are ready to come back home to Earth. But re-entry through the Earth’s atmosphere is dangerous. You are traveling at 17,500 miles per hour (28,100 kmh) and your spacecraft will experience heat up to 5,000°F (2760°C)! How will you protect the astronauts?

Take your STEM classroom to the next level with this Stage 2 Engineering Design Unit that includes real-world engineering, explicit science, and math connections, and an exciting hands-on challenge of designing a heat shield to protect the crew during a fiery re-entry to Earth's atmosphere.
