Scientific paper
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, scheduled to launch in October 2008, will carry the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA). LOLA will produce topographic maps of the Moon using a LIDAR ranging system. Our presentation will describe a hands-on activity for middle and high school students that uses an ultra-sound motion detector to simulate LOLA LIDAR mapping. This activity is presented in the context of a larger module, which involves a simulated search-and-discovery mission, using simple robots equipped with various sensors. This lunar exploration module successfully integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education standards in activities that engage and educate students in the area of lunar science. Our presentation will include a discussion of the implementation of the module, as well as provide samples of topographic maps generated by students using the motion detector. A discussion of uses in various other subjects (including Earth and ocean science) will be provided. This effort is supported through NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate Education.
