This site allows you to investigate the effects of the main variables of lift. This is one application of Newton's Third Law of motion and has been critical in the design of the new aircraft. It allows for downloading of the applet for standalone use as well as a series of problem sets on this concept. In addition, hyperlinks will allow the student to explore the application of this concept with a variety of objects. Read the instructions on using the applet provided here. Construct a data table to collect the data generated by the simulation. Experiment with the effects of deflection on the force of Lift generated. How is Newton's Third Law being applied? Download the worksheet "Ion-powered spacecraft sets flight record" Page (77 ) CNN news story about the ion drive engine used to power Deep Space 1 as it travels through our solar system. Includes a good general diagram showing the basic design of the engine. A good starting place for your research. Browse the site to become familiar with the basic concepts and terminology of the engine and how it works. From here go on to the next site which offers greater detail on the principles behind the Ion Drive Engine. NStar Ion Engine Page (77 ) Description of the general properties and characteristics of the Boeing Nstar ion engine. This is not a very technical site but does offer some information about the general properties of the engine and how it is expected to work. Browse the site for information.
Detailed overview of the history and science behind the development of the Ion Drive Engine used on Deep Space 1. Also has links to other relevant sites on the NASA Web site. Browse the material on the site. Create a timeline which shows the dates, names of contributors and the accomplishments made as the Ion Drive Engine was developed. Inside the Ion Drive Page (77 ) A slide show that reviews the principles behind the ion drive engine. The show combines animations with great graphics to explain the process involved in the Ion Drive. When you arrive at this site, you will see an image of Deep Space 1. This is the first slide in a series. To proceed with the presentation, click the NEXT icon in the top right hand corner of the slide. Innovative Engines Page (77 ) This NASA fact sheet details the research being performed by the Glenn Research Center of NASA on ion propulsion. Browse through the article to learn more.
