Radiation astronomy/Satellites/Quiz
< Radiation astronomy < Satellites
Radiation satellites is a lecture and an article on a variety of lofting technology. It is a part of the astronomy course on the principles of radiation astronomy.
You are free to take this quiz based on radiation satellites at any time.
To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, and in the course template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.
As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.
A suggestion is to have the lecture available in a separate window.
To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.
Enjoy learning by doing!

Hypothesis:
- Radiation astronomy satellites may have extended and improved life spans if they could be upgraded and repaired at the International Space Station.
Control groups
The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.
“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[1] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[2]"[3]
Proof of concept
Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[4] is called a proof of concept.
Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.
The proof-of-concept structure consists of
- background,
- procedures,
- findings, and
- interpretation.[5]
