Make space for the banners!
The Planet Banner is an informative teaching tool developed especially for education and interested parties.
The Planet Banner depicts the eight planets of our solar system and their mutual relationships, distance from the sun and key characteristics, such as orbital velocity, mass relative to Earth, temperature and number of moons, in a comprehensive manner.
The mystery of the universe, our solar system and its planets continues to tickle the fancy of humankind. Interest in this topic is only growing. In the media, there are increasingly more reports about new manned and unmanned space missions, for example to Mars.
New space telescopes are discovering more and more about the origin, size and characteristics of the universe and our solar system. We all, including young people, still have a lot to discover and want to find out more.
The new Satellite Banner introduces pupils to the various satellites, space telescopes and spacecraft orbiting the Earth.
This banner also clearly shows the height at which these space devices are located – from the atmosphere to the exosphere and from the International Space Station to the James Webb Space Telescope.
In addition, the banner provides an overview of the satellites’ orbits and the difference in orbits between geostationary and polar satellites.
This full-colour banner is an asset to any classroom. All of the information is presented in a clearly visible way, even from a distance. Feel free to leave the banner up in the classroom permanently or for several days after the lesson. This way, the fascinating world of space around our Earth will stick better with pupils and they will learn more.
In 1957, the first artificial moon, called Sputnik, went into space. It was the Russians' first artificial satellite to be put into orbit around Earth. Since then, a huge number of satellites have been launched for espionage, communications, navigation and research. Besides the many space telescopes, the international community also has the International Space Station, with a constant crew in space for various research projects. Space does and will play an important role in our present and future society. Key applications include:
You can use the Planet and Satellite Banners as an additional tool during lessons to teach pupils about the solar system and what is immediately located around the Earth. At a glance, you can see the distance from Earth at which planets and satellites are located. The information provided has been co-edited by science journalist Govert Schilling and the content has been checked by university experts in the field. Design firm Tjasker Design is responsible for the design.
The roll-up banners come in a compact case that can stay on the ground. The banners can be unrolled within a minute and can be secured with a stand. They are just as easy to roll back up again and can be stored in the included carrying bag. The banners are 100 cm wide and 200 cm high. They are made from sturdy PVC tarpaulin. Long-term use and image quality is therefore guaranteed.
The banners were developed exclusively by concept and idea agency Moklius BV and can only be ordered through this agency. The price of one banner is only:
€ 165,– (excl. 21% VAT)
