MATH IN SPACE and AERONAUTICS
Dr. K, Author of Problem Solving with KenKen book

Often, math can be made meaningful to students in the context of
problems selected from real life. One strong motivator for students
is applications in space and aeronautics.

Below we list some resources with real life applications from
space and aeronautics:
