Mission X

Mission X is an international educational challenge that focuses on health, science, fitness and nutrition and encourages pupils to train like an astronaut. The challenge involves a set of physical and educational activities, developed by space scientists and fitness professionals working with real astronauts. Each Mission X activity completed earns steps towards helping the virtual Mission X mascots, Luna and Leo, walk the distance from the Earth to the Moon.

The challenge is organised by the European Space Agency and the UK Space Agency. To find out more about Mission X, visit https://www.stem.org.uk/esero/primary/competitions-and-challenges/mission-x.

In addition to the Mission X activity guides, there are also some space themed health and nutrition resource booklets, available towards the end of this collection.
