They needed to learn about the parts needed to build a satellite, what satellites can do to help us and how to use satellite images to get information about the planet&rsquo;s surface.<\/p>\n<p>We were taken to the Saturn Room with a huge video wall that showed us where all the big ships were in the world &ndash; the satellites were tracking every one. Chris told us about the parts needed to make a satellite work and how each ship was connected to some satellites.&nbsp; The boys then were asked to make a satellite with solar panels and the ship it communicated with. Chris was very good at explaining what each part was and why it was necessary.&nbsp;The boys certainly got very involved and were talking with the correct terminology about their models in no time at all. Following this exciting activity, the boys were then &lsquo;trained&rsquo; to look for physical features on an enormous satellite optical image of Milton Keynes displayed on a VDU wall in the Ops Room. Here the boys were divided into teams to solve clues and identify features in certain locations.&nbsp;They learnt about basic map references and how to locate and record them.&nbsp; At the end of the busy &lsquo;training&rsquo; schedule, the boys received a certificate to prove they had successfully undertaken the S.A.Catapult Training Program.&nbsp;We all had a fantastic time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 March 2015 Year 2 arrived at Satellite Applications Catapult, Harwell, after lunch and were given a warm welcome from Antonia, Dawn&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[60,68,62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-categories","category-pre-prep-news","category-trip-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
