Company Profile

Explore the surface of Mars in our newest simulation. The simulation begins by choosing an ideal landing spot using previous spacecraft data and tips from a planetary scientist. Once the rover has landed, students work to complete as many of the mission objectives as they can. To bring this into your classroom, contact a product specialist today! Retired NASA Astronaut David Low has flown in space three times during the STS-32, STS-43, and STS-57 missions. He even performed a spacewalk of almost 6 hours on the STS-57 mission! Here’s your chance to chat about space travel and ask Mr. Low questions about his spaceflight experiences. Students aged 9 to 17 are encouraged to write essays about why space exploration is important and why we celebrate World Space Week (October 4 – 10). Space Explorers, Inc. is sponsoring this contest. The essays will be judged in two age brackets, 4th – 6th grade and 7th grade – high school and the deadline for submission is October 13, 2006. Click here for more details.
