EO Kids is exploring the history of viewing Earth from space – from Explorer 1 to our modern constellation of satellites. In this issue, learn about how NASA began watching Earth’s weather and how satellite imaging of hurricanes has evolved over 60-years. Plus, build your own liquid-fueled fizzy rocket with your own team of engineers.
At EO Kids we are committed to making Earth science fun and engaging. Come explore Earth with us.
EO Kids managing editor, Tassia Owen, shows you how you can build your own Fizzy Rocket!
