Special Topics: PhysicsUNIVERSE Space Flight: Application of Orbital Mechanics Describes the fundamental laws of physics, of how an object obtains orbit and stays there. Geared to the average student, this video is a primer for potential satellite users. Covers launch, insertion and on-orbit maintenance. [color, 36 minutes] $29.95 ST0023 Gyroscopes In Space Illustrates the basic principles of gyroscopes by utilizing kinescope and other film footage from Skylab inflight science demonstrations. Scientist-Astronaut Dr. Owen K. Garriott discusses the experiment using both voice-over and on-camera narration. [color, 16 1/2 minutes] $29.95 ST0045 MAGNETISM IN SPACE Scientist-Astronaut Dr. Owen K. Garriott reviews familiar magnetic effects and applications of magnets on Earth. He also shows how these effects are observable in space in new and different ways. The video concludes with important present and future applications of “Magnetism in Space”. [color, 20 minutes] $29.95 ST0024 Conservation Laws In Zero G Scientist-Astronaut Dr. Owen K. Garriott discusses demonstrations of angular momentum both from Skylab and a classroom back on Earth. Some of the examples used are: astronauts spinning and rotating in space, an ice skater spinning, a cat dropped with zero angular momentum landing on its feet, and a model of the Explorer 1 satellite. [color, 18 minutes] $29.95 ST0046 Magnetic Effects In Space Scientist-Astronaut Dr. Owen K. Garriott discusses a demonstration of the Earth’s magnetic field both from the Skylab and a classroom back on Earth. [color, 14 minutes] $29.95 ST0047 gravity and life Dr. Richard Keefe, professor of anatomy, Case Western Reserve University, explains the role of gravity in the development of life. [color, 28 1/2 minutes] $29.95 ST0062 Opportunities In Zero Gravity The Space Shuttle and Skylab are seen as the first opportunities to routinely utilize the new environment of zero gravity. This video surveys the characteristics of the weightless environment through the eyes of the crewmen that flew on board Skylab. Early problems of working in weightlessness and the subsequent solutions are seen. Mobility, mass transfer, handling of small parts, and other unique aspects of zero gravity are depicted. [color, 18 1/2 minutes] $29.95 ST0070 zero g and space suits The space suit worn by Apollo astronauts is described. Weightlessness is also explained using animation. Astronauts are seen in zero g and during extravehicular activity. [color, 28 1/2 minutes] $29.95 ST0052 GAIA HYPOTHESIS A new hypothesis for the origin of the universe is explored in this fascinating program. [color, 28 minutes] $29.95 ST0077 ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM: A SYMPHONY OF LIGHT Astronauts show how the spectrum of light is important to the study of space, stars and our universe. [color, 19 minutes] $29.95 ST0080 NEWTON IN SPACE With the aid of space shuttle astronauts and animated sequences, students learn about Newton's three laws of motion. [color, 12 1/2 minutes] $29.95 ST0085 X-RAY SPECTROSCOPY: THE INSIDE STORY Dr. Robert J. Liefeld, Professor of Physics, New Mexico State University, explains how x-rays are generated and how an x-ray spectrometer disperses them into a spectrum. He shows how specially grown crystals are made and used in a two-crystal vacuum x-ray spectrometer to diffuse an x-ray beam, to isolate a single wavelength, and to scan a spectrum and record its characteristics.
