Space Probes and Robots
Since the 1950s, humans have sent robots and space probes all over the Solar System.
The Voyager probes have even gone beyond our Solar System into open space!
Space Stations
Did you know there are always humans in space?
Since 1971, men and women have been living for months at a time on space stations. These are spacecraft large enough for several astronauts to live there at once.
Crewed Missions
Humans have been travelling to space since the 1950s.
We have used telescopes to study space for centuries, but it was the invention of massive rockets which finally let us explore space in person.

Next time it's dark, why don't you look up!
Even if we can't go into space we can still learn a lot about it from right here on the ground.
Use this activity pack to learn all about astronauts - let us help you explore!

Find the Moon Missions
Did you know that 6 Apollo missions landed on the Moon? The first was Apollo 11 in 1969. The last was Apollo 17 in 1972.
Host A Space Debate
Should humans colonise Mars? Is there life in the Universe? Science continually seeks to answer big questions - but it takes a lot of research and communication to come to a consensus.
Why not host a debate and try it yourself?
