Explore the Universe with ESA kids
The European Space Agency (ESA) is Europe's gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe's space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. The ESA website has a section for children with a wide range of activities and resources.
In the 'Lab' you can build a model of the Mars Express, which is orbiting around Mars looking for water and studying the planet's atmosphere, structure and geology.
The 'Life in space' section tells you what you need to know about becoming an astronaut and if you have ever wondered where the astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) are right now you can view in real-time the location of the ISS and 11 other ESA-related spacecraft that are orbiting the Earth. 'Liftoff' provides lots of facts on launchers, spacecraft and mission control and the section on Earth takes a look at climate change, natural disasters and protecting nature.
The 'Fun' section provides a range of quizzes, puzzles, competitions and a gallery section
So log on and explore!
