When space makes you dizzy:
Landing a spaceship is not a good time for a pilot to feel
dizzy.
It's easy to tell which way is up and which way is down...or
is it? In the freefall of space travel, there's no pull of gravity to tell your body which way is which. Most astronauts and cosmonauts experience some motion sickness when they first arrive in orbit. NASA is studying why.

Livelier lessons with Netd@ys Europe 2002
by the European Space Agency
28 November
2002 European teachers hoping to liven up their lessons
could get some ideas by looking at ESA’s Eduspace site. As part of
Netd@ys Europe 2002 ESA proposes that primary or secondary teachers
select Earth observation satellite images as the basis for class
projects. Schools can select satellite images to carry out
the project of their choice. This could be on their school and the
surrounding area, on geographical features such as rivers and mountains,
about a town or city or an environmental issue.

Whatever the choice of project, if a suitable satellite image does not
exist on ESA’s website then for the best five project proposals received
ESA will undertake to provide the image requested. Proposals should
clearly identify the image needed, give size and coordinates bearing in
mind that the basic resolution is around 30 metres, and contain a short
description of the project and what the image is needed for.
Many satellite images can be found in ESA’s Multimedia gallery or on the Eduspace
site. The Eduspace site can also provide ideas for projects as
well as free downloadable image processing software, a forum and chat
room, and a list of other schools participating in Eduspace. All this
information can be accessed free once the name of your class and school is
registered.

| ESA has chosen this
project in order to increase awareness among children of the many ways in
which satellite images can be used. It is being organised under the
Netd@ys 2002 theme Watch it, one of the three themes concerning
images chosen for this year's Netd@ys project. Netd@ys is a European
Commission initiative to promote the use of new technology, especially the
Internet, in education and culture.
Project proposals for ESA’s Netd@ys initiative should be sent to
netdays@esa.int by 31 December. The best projects will be put on
the ESA Eduspace website and credit given to the class and school
responsible.
