3-2-1 GO! Astronaut Training

Welcome!

This week we're talking about training like an astronaut. What is NASA looking for when they're searching for just the right candidate for who will journey to the moon or Mars?

Using the menu on the top left of this page, try some or all of the activities and be prepared to access technology, see science in action, engineer projects, model math with real life applications and, most importantly, have fun!

Watch this short introduction to NASA's astronaut selection program.

Challenger Colorado hopes you will share pictures and your experiences with us via our Facebook and Instagram pages. Tag us at @challengercolorado with pictures of your family in action with these activites, samples of your projects and ways that your family has expanded its understanding of the world of space exploration!

Throughout the summer we'll be drawing names from post submissions for prizes include Challenger Colorado stickers, kids t-shirts, rocket sets, and even a free show for your family in our Mikkelson Planetarium!
