Summary Weightlessness: Here, we examine the various effects that no gravity has on the human body, mainly a fluid shift.

Jovian System: Here we join the Galileo and Voyager Probes after they examine the incredible world of the mighty Jupiter planet. Space Scientists: Again, we look at the benefits of technologies developed for space for use back on Earth. Shuttle Pallet Satellite: A look at a German platform that is used in space for various roles including housing film crews. Mars Briefing: Here we learn more about Mars' history via a meteor that crashed into it millions of years ago before ending up under an Antarctic ice sheet.
