Mission X: train like an astronaut (training brochure)
Mission X is supported by the UK Space Agency, ESA and NASA. It is a free education programme developed by NASA scientists and fitness professionals working with astronaut and space agencies across the world. Mission X uses the excitement of space exploration to inspire students to learn more about nutrition, exercise, science and space exploration. The materials are available in a range of languages and are supported by a blog, teacher forum and videos.
The activities in this resource are designed for students aged 8 -14 but can be adapted to older and younger age groups. They can also be used for after-school clubs and informal learning events.
The activities are organised into two main themes:
- Science Challenges relating to bone density, hydration and nutrition
- PE Challenges which look at the implications of living and working in a microgravity environment.
