Chemistry in Space

This collection of resources, from the Royal Society of Chemistry, contains activities about solar power and atmospheric chemistry. They have been brought together to link in with ESA astronaut Tim Peake's flight to the International Space Station. The space station requires huge arrays of solar panels to power all its systems and it allows astronauts to see the 'thin blue line' of Earth's atmosphere through 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours.
