Format
To get there, your students will work in teams to launch and fly Blue Origin’s reusable
launch vehicle, New Glenn, into orbit; safely land Blue Origin’s lunar lander, Blue Moon,
on the lunar surface; and prepare to explore the Moon’s surface. While in orbit, they’ll
monitor for potentially dangerous space weather and space debris, conduct safety
checks on the spacecraft systems, deploy and monitor satellites, and launch payloads.
With the journey underway, your students in Mission Control learn there’s an
emergency on the original lunar habitat. They’ll collaborate with another crew to
problem solve and troubleshoot the emergency. Will the crews solve the urgent issue?
A successful mission depends on it.
Objectives
Teamwork is critical to our mission.
In our interactive Destination Moon simulation,
students are placed into teams to conduct research
and collaborate to find solutions to urgent challenges,
while experiencing real-world STEM careers.
