l NASA’s remote sensing data on weather, cloud cover, ocean currents, climatic changes, and ozone concentration, as well as petroleum, volcanic, asteroid and seismic activity will be used throughout the courses.
l Students in the second term course will build, monitor, and study energy production through photovoltaics -- a space-based technology with viable application on Earth.
