REMOTE SPECIALIST

On 4/12/11 Oak Ridge Expo went to the Challenger Learning Center on the campus of Purdue University. My job was the Remote Team. I used a robotic arm and a glove box. Then we had to do to the space station because we found a different comet and named it Comet Expo. Then we had to work from the space station.
My favorite part is when we were in the orbiter using the robotic are and glove box to do experiments and take in samples. It was fun to send messages and receive them. When I used the robotic arm for the first time it was kind of hard. The gloves in the glove box were big for me.
When we were in the space station it was hard because you had to find mass, weight, and volume. My partner probably did almost what I said because I was the leader then for the Remote team.
There were lots of emergencies like running out of oxygen ,a meteorite shower, and a huge explosion.
There was an astronaut there. She went on four space mission and two to the international space station. She could of do a spacewalk but she was too short to fit in the spacesuit.
My second favorite part was when we ate with University kids. This was probably the best field trip ever!!!! Then we drove back.
