Deepen students' understanding of how space-based surveillance systems enhance global security and explore the ethical implications of these technologies.Divide students into groups, assigning each to research space-based surveillance systems from different countries like the USA, Russia, China, India, or the European Union.Each group will investigate the technology behind the surveillance satellites, focusing on capabilities and the types of data they gather.They will also explore how their assigned country utilises space surveillance for national security, disaster response, and other government functions.The groups will also examine the country's international collaborations or conflicts related to space surveillance activities and discuss privacy concerns and the potential for surveillance data misuse.Groups will prepare a multimedia presentation that includes a detailed look at the country’s surveillance technology and capabilities.Conduct a discussion of how the technology strategically serves the country.Help students analyse international and ethical issues.Conclude the activity with a debate on whether the benefits of space-based surveillance outweigh the ethical concerns.This will prompt students to critically engage with the topic and consider multiple viewpoints on the use of such technologies in modern society.
