Launching your students’ questions into the thermosphere

From the effects of solar radiation on people living on the International Space Station, to opinions on space travel; there are few topics which inspire quite so many questions as Space.

Another question, asked probably in every live chat in every I’m a Scientist Space Zone we’ve run: “Have you ever been to space?” The answer has always been “no”… Until now.

Launching today with funding from the UK Space Agency, I’m an Astronaut, Get me out of here is giving school students all over the UK the opportunity to put their questions to the team behind the Principia Mission.

There will be four rounds, with the first running 5th–16th October, and teachers can sign up now to take part with their class — The registration deadline for Round 1 is 12PM on Monday 20th July 2015.

For the first time ever a British European Space Agency astronaut has lived and worked on the International Space Station. Tim Peake orbited the earth for half a year.

Four different zones  (Training, Launch, Orbit and Touchdown) were run between October 2015 and June 2016 alongside different stages of Tim Peake’s mission. A final live chat (Debrief Zone), involving Tim and nominated schools, was held in November 2016.

I’m an Astronaut, Get me out of here was funded as part of the Principia Mission Education and Outreach Scheme.

To see the previous zones, take a look in the ARCHIVE.
