Lesson Plans and Mission Guides

Access curriculum-mapped resources designed to teach orbital mechanics, lunar geology, and spacecraft engineering for grades K-12.

Grades 6-12 • PDF

Orbital Mechanics Guide

Calculate complex translunar injection trajectories and orbital insertion burns using authentic flight telemetry datasets simplified for classroom analysis.

Grades 3-8 • Interactive

Lunar Geology Toolkit

Analyze simulated regolith samples to identify potential ice deposits in the permanently shadowed craters of the lunar south pole.

Interactive Learning

Classroom Flight Simulators

Bring mission control directly into your classroom with web-based interactive tools that simulate real-time orbital mechanics and spacecraft operations.

SLS Launch Stack

Orion Docking Demo

Lunar Landing Telemetry

Monitor thrust, fuel consumption, and atmospheric drag during the initial launch phase.

Navigate the spacecraft to a safe docking sequence with the human landing system in lunar orbit.

Adjust descent thrusters to land safely on the rugged terrain of the lunar south pole.
