This lesson plan is part of the Center for Educational Resources (CERES), a series of web-based astronomy lessons created by a team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers. In this lesson, students learn about digital images and how Earth-orbiting satellites send information and pictures to the Earth over the Internet. Students divide into teams and learn to design encrypted messages and pictures, and decode satellite images from space. This lesson contains expected outcomes for students, materials, background information, follow-up questions, and assessment procedures.
