Module 1: Getting to Space 

Astronauts can’t get to space without the work of many team members on the ground, including people like Flight Directors and Program Managers that help keep the mission running smoothly. In this first module students will learn about the people and careers that play a critical role in getting to space. They will explore how vehicles are developed and designed to move autonomously in space and how individual parts of the Space Launch System (SLS) are built in pieces and then stacked together. The Getting to Space Module is a great way to connect what students already know about rocket launches to everything that must happen behind the scenes before liftoff.

This module includes an introduction and mini-mission and two additional missions: Operation Autopilot and STEAM Work is Teamwork.
