It will give us all the information we need to get started on our project. This framework can give us the equation we need and it explains how to derive the equation from our information. gailee0922 https://padlet.com/gailee0922/f2vr4of6laa1/wish/366786159 2019-06-10 20:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gailee0922/f2vr4of6laa1/wish/366786159 I found some cool information we can use on the NASA website.
