What is Space Academy?

During our five-day program, Space Academy Trainees explore the many areas of space with real space scientists. Trainees design and launch model rockets, make galaxies, build interactive robots, experience virtual reality, simulate working at mission control and take pictures of earth by sending a camera 30km into the atmosphere on a weather balloon.
