This document summarizes the activities and objectives of the LIMASAT Project. The project involves sending high altitude balloons into the stratosphere to take photographs of Earth and measure temperatures. Students will work in groups to complete tasks like a SWOT analysis and presenting their findings. The goals are to take pictures from over 30,000 meters above sea level and learn about different layers of the atmosphere. The project uses hands-on activities, technology, and an interdisciplinary approach to engage students in science learning.
