There are threats we can see, but true danger lies in threats that don't announce themselves — a drop in temperature or unhealthy pollutants, for example. When dealing with something as unpredictable as space, awareness of your surroundings is key.
When surveying in inhospitable locales, tracking the purity of our breathable air is vital, in the future and today. You don't have to be an engineer or Space Force Guardian to be invested in the air we breathe, so we teamed up with the United States Space Force to create a video series of STEM challenges you can complete with a little know-how. In our first episode, we'll show you how to build a device that could be used to measure CO2 and track unhealthy airborne contaminants. Here's what you need to start as a citizen scientist.
