Across
- 3. A state of very weak gravity.
- 4. Tunnels and caves formed by lava movement in the moon's distant past. These tubes can serve as shelter from meteorites, radiation, and extreme temperatures.
- 8. The path of an object moving through space.
- 10. The mechanical coupling of two or more human-made orbiting objects.
- 11. A bowl-shaped depression formed in the soft soil of the moon by the impact of a meteorite or other object.
- 14. A vector quantity that includes the speed and direction of an object.
- 15. A fixed or adjustable vane or airfoil affixed longitudinally to an aerodynamically or ballistically designed body for stabilizing purposes.
- 16. in the u.s.,a person who rides in a space vehicle.
Down
- 1. A chemical mixture that is burned to produce thrust.
- 2. A proposed explanation for an observation. An educated guess which forms a basis for a test.
- 5. The path of an object moving through space.
- 6. A vehicle for driving over rough terrain.
- 7. Fine, greyish dust and soil that covers the surface of the moon. Formed by constant pounding of the surface by impacts, the regolith can be between 2 meters and 20 meters deep.
- 9. The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area.
- 12. The locus of all points in the plane at which the sum of the distances from a fixed pair of points is a given constant.
- 13. A quantity with both magnitude and direction, such as velocity, acceleration, thrust, lift, drag, momentum, or torque.
