Help with your Space Project

Your project should consist of 6 paragraphs (one for the introduction, four for the main body, and one for your conclusion) as well as a bibliography.

You can choose to present this as a formal written report, a slideshow presentation, or a poster.

For more information on how to write an information report, and what I expect, please click here.
