The 8 missions

1. Earth, Moon & Sun. Why does the Moon change shape? Why do we have seasons? What is an eclipse? Puzzles, math labs and a shadow clock.
2. Rocky Planets. Compare Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars with scale models, trading cards, a rover maze and a hands-on crater lab.
3. Giant Planets. Weigh yourself on Jupiter, draw the giants to scale, play a board game across the gas giants and build a density tower.
4. Moons, Dwarf Planets & Small Bodies. Meet Pluto, comets, asteroids and icy moons, make a cryovolcano erupt and decide: is Pluto a planet?
5. Rockets, Orbits & Missions. Build a straw rocket, decode Morse messages, label the SLS rocket and run a launch-day countdown.
6. Stars, Constellations & Galaxies. Connect the dots between stars, create your own constellation, build a pinhole planetarium and find out how far a light-year really is.
7. Life Beyond Earth. Explore the Goldilocks zone, extremophiles, ocean moons and the search for alien worlds.
8. Astronaut Life. How do astronauts eat, sleep, work and walk in space? Label a spacesuit, plan a day on the station and try a microgravity experiment.

Every mission has three levels: Explorer (ages 9–10), Navigator (11–12) and Commander (13–14). Distances and weights use US customary units. A QR code inside the book opens the free simulator demo.

Experiments are meant to be done by kids together with an adult, using ordinary household materials.

• Assemble the real Artemis III rocket piece by piece and launch it with live telemetry
• Cross to the Moon on a real orbital path, land at the lunar south pole on NASA terrain and walk on the surface
• 29 real destinations from Mercury to the Andromeda Galaxy, with guided tours, fact sheets and quizzes
• A passport with stamps and achievements; progress saved in the cloud; works offline for up to 5 days after you sign in
• The interactive workbook: the 8 missions with self-checking exercises, inside the simulator
