Features -> Build It Yourself: Satellite!

---

You get to be the scientist in the "Build It Yourself: Satellite!" game! Choose what science your satellite will be used to study, and then decide what wavelengths, instruments, and optics will help you learn the most about the science you've chosen. After you launch your satellite, you'll see what it looks like, and learn what real mission has data similar to the one you created. You'll discover a large range of astronomical missions, dating from the 1980s to today. (The James Webb Space Telescop is being built now!)

This game requires FLASH 9 or higher. The game will open in a separate window or tab. Please allow it to open. The game is in two sizes - please choose the smaller version if you have a smaller monitor.

Also, we have provided a small toggle button in the top left corner of the game (marked with an H) to allow you to change the quality of the graphics. If you have a slower computer, this may be helpful.
