Die Bahnen der ISS und anderer Satelliten
Markus Nielbock
TL;DR
This educational activity explains satellite orbits, focusing on the ISS, using simple calculations to illustrate gravitational effects and compare different satellite types, enhancing understanding of space physics.
Contribution
It provides an accessible, educational approach to understanding satellite orbits, specifically the ISS, through simplified calculations and comparisons with geostationary satellites.
Findings
Students learn how satellite orbits are formed.
Comparison of ISS and geostationary satellite velocities.
Application of gravitational principles to real satellite orbits.
Abstract
This activity was created within the framework of the "Space for Education" project, which ams at experiencing physical principles on the basis of topics related to space travel. Artificial satellites are suitable as application-oriented examples to explain the effect of gravity on their orbits. This working material deals with the orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) around the Earth. In simple calculations and representations, the students learn how the orbits of artificial satellites are created and which characteristic velocities occur. They compare their ISS results with those of geostationary satellites and discover applications of this particular orbit.
