As you know international space-related educational programs are evolved rapidly. These programs make new generation aware of current technologies, inspire to explore further, increase participation of our children in making our Earth better and save what we already have, develop new techniques, achieve miles-away goals, learn how to measure one’s capabilities, take decisions and actions; provide feedback and share knowledge with the next generation. It is one of the tools making this “cycle” work.
To increase awareness of space exploration and make others to participate in it we present international education program which allows everyone to meet, learn, work and share.
