PLTW Flight and Space

What are the forces that act on an aircraft (select all that apply)

• Lift

• Weight

• Drag

• People

The International Space Station (ISS) is important to space exploration because

• It can hold a very large crew (20+ people).

• It can be launched fully assembled from a launch pad on Earth.

• It is good for learning about the effects of microgravity and living in space.
