In this game, you will launch into space and race to Mars. Who will be the first to reach the red planet?

We have landed robots on Mars and learnt a lot from the missions but we haven't sent humans to Mars yet. Here are some things we would need to consider if we wanted to head to Mars and land safely on the red planet.

Humans haven't visited Mars yet but we have sent robots called rovers. The Perseverance rover has two microphones, which means we can hear sounds on Mars for the very first time. You can here some of the sounds that have been recorded here.

A spacewalk is when an astronaut goes outside of the International Space Station. Spacewalks are usually done when the outside of the ISS needs working on. This could be anything from replacing parts to making sure everything is running smoothly.

Astronauts live on the International Space Station for up to 6 months. Download the list of tasks the astronauts need to do while on board the ISS.

Astronauts work and live in space for up to 6 months. They spend lots of time working, doing experiments, fixing the ISS and exercising to stay fit. When they aren’t working, they have time to relax. They might read or listen to music. They can also talk to friends and family on Earth and send messages using a computer.

Asteroids are heading towards the ISS. Say the sound and destroy the asteroids before they hit!

Celebrate completing your stay on the ISS, with the next badge for your log book. The Space Log also contains information about astronaut food and a place to for you to design your own meal.
