Explorer 5: Astronaut

What can we learn from this Explorer? 

• It takes a lot of courage to explore outer space! 
• Astronauts must be smart and healthy to be approved for space exploration. 
• Astronauts work in teams to make sure that everyone is safe during the mission. 

Talk about astronauts with your family: 

• Would you like to go on a space mission?  Why or why not? 
• What snacks and books would you bring with you on a space mission? 
• Watch a video about space exploration.  What did you learn?
