Space centers work to prepare the people who are involved in space missions.
What evidence from the passage supports this conclusion?
“Space agencies from the U.S., Europe, Russia, Japan, and Canada all came together to build the International Space Station (ISS) from 1998 to 2000.”
“The space center has models of different parts of spacecraft. Astronauts use these models to learn how to operate spacecraft and prepare for emergencies that could happen during their mission.”
“The Langley Research Center was founded in 1917 in Hampton, Virginia. It was founded by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA.”
The evidence from the passage that supports the conclusion that space centers work to prepare the people involved in space missions are:
- "Space agencies from the U.S., Europe, Russia, Japan, and Canada all came together to build the International Space Station (ISS) from 1998 to 2000." This demonstrates that space agencies collaborate on major space projects, suggesting a shared goal of preparing individuals for missions.
- "The space center has models of different parts of spacecraft. Astronauts use these models to learn how to operate spacecraft and prepare for emergencies that could happen during their mission." This indicates that space centers provide resources and training materials specifically for astronauts to learn and prepare for their missions.
- "The Langley Research Center was founded in 1917 in Hampton, Virginia. It was founded by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA." This historical context highlights that space centers have existed for a long time, indicating their purpose of researching and developing technologies for space missions.
