Unless you go to an invitational or trade with a school for tests, there aren’t many practice tests for you to take for solar system.

I apologize if this question has already been answered, but would the rocky bodies be the bodies that are in Part 1 or does it means the bodies that are in the solar system?

How specifically do students have to be towards Remote sensing, imagery, and satellite measurements?

Hello people, the part two of the test: the hands-on part of the competition is that like part of the written test or what do you do during the hands on part of it? Thanks in advance :)

It says hands-on but it's still just written.

Since there isn't much in the rules, they can go really specific. Anything can go. Maybe they will ask about which satellite took what photo.

So the team at my school is facing a very controversial issue. The tests aren't testing on terrestrial planets. At regionals, the test wasn't on terrestrial planets so they ended up getting 4th instead of 1st. They said they would start focusing on stuff that wasn't from this year because at states it would be likely that the test wouldn't follow the rules again. Does anyone think that that is what is going to happen? If so, any good resources?

Depends on the quality of the state tournament. I would recommend at least a little preparation on the 2014-2015 and 2010-2011 topics.

For the missions, do students have to gather all the successful ones, not only NASA, or just NASA alone?
Is Pioneer 4 a worthy mission even though it was a partial failure?
