JUNIOR ASTRONAUT PROGRAM / MISSION 01

Help the crew
get home.

Two astronauts need your help! Make choices, watch what changes,
and keep their Moon home working for 24 hours.

YOUR FLIGHT PLAN

Survive the next 24 hours

Keep their air, water, food and electricity ready. Use the shelter during the drill. Run experiments when you have enough to spare.

TRY IDEAS BEFORE THE NEXT MISSION

What makes a good plan?

More science? More greenhouse care? Extra reserves? Compare the consequences.

Changing conditions restarts the mission. These are teaching what-if cases.

FLIGHT ENGINEER’S NOTE

Everything is connected

Making oxygen needs clean water and electricity. Recycling water saves supplies but draws power. Your job is to keep the whole system in balance.

    Why does making oxygen use water?
    Electrolysis splits water into oxygen and hydrogen. In our model, every 1 kg of oxygen needs 1.125 kg of water. More oxygen production leaves less water for the crew.
