Space Science Resources

These extra resources let you study deeper related topics in Space Science.
You can find out about Radiation in Space, from solar wind to cosmic rays,
how the ozone hole is measured from satellites, and more details about
satellite orbits. Each topic is self-contained, and can be used directly online, or
printed off for studying later.

Satellite Data & Extension Activities

Here you can access real data from Surrey satellites and find out about extra projects such as observing satellites and radio telecommunications. These projects are suitable either for your own use, or in the classroom or after-school club.

• satellite data exercises explore and analyse real data sets from the satellites.

• surrey satellite images browse our archive of images taken from 800 km high.

• listening to satellites find out about amateur radio communications using UoSat-5

• satellite observing track and observe large space craft such as the International space Station
