This week we are learning more about Space Exploration. We have learnt about the first man on the moon – which was 52 years ago, in 1969. Now we want to learn more about the Space Race which is happening right now – how scientists are working right now on the ISS (The International Space Station) and how Space Science is being used to develop new technologies to make our lives on Earth easier.
20 THINGS WE WOULDN’T HAVE WITHOUT SPACE TRAVEL
These photos show you the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts working on a space walk, the Hubble Telescope and the Space Shuttle when it launched the Hubble Telescope into space in 1990.

THE MODERN SPACE RACE:
China and India have joined the race to explore the Moon (with robotics and lunar vehicles – not people). China landed a spacecraft on the far side of the moon this in January 2019 and India sent a spacecraft on its way there too and, of course, the United States is committed to exploring Mars too.
Enjoy finding out all about this exciting field of scientific discovery!
