Moonbase Alpha Game ScreenShot -- Repairing the Life Support System

 A 3-D Immersive NASA Exploration Game

 NASA has once again landed on the lunar surface with the goal of colonization, research, and further exploration. Shortly after the return to the Moon, NASA has established a small outpost on the south pole of the moon called Moonbase Alpha. Utilizing solar energy and regolith processing, the moonbase has become self-sufficient and plans for further expansion are underway.

Here you can play, learn and explore the world around you. NASA brings you an exciting way to look at our Sun and Earth, our solar system and the universe beyond.

From high above our Earth, NASA satellites are looking down studying our Earth and looking out studying the distant worlds of the universe. NASA's unique way of looking at our world around us lets scientists study so much from the global weather patterns of El Nino, to Martian rocks, and to galaxies far, far, away. Have you ever wondered why some years you have more rain or snow than other years? Is there life on Mars? Are there other planets like ours in the universe? NASA scientists are beginning to find answers to these and other questions so we can all better understand our Sun and Earth, our solar system, and the universe beyond.

Come and explore your world and beyond through NASA's eyes. Experience an inspiring view of science with games, activities, movies, and even resources to help you with your homework.

NASA Kids Club
With news about current space events and links to age-appropriate reference material (some of it at external sites), NASA Kids brings us space in a tidy package. Reference topics are divided into Space & Beyond, Rockets & Airplanes and Pioneers & Astronauts. Activities are listed under Projects & Games. Most of the site is easy to navigate

NASA - Future Flight Design

In this program, you will become a NASA researcher and design the air transportation system of the future! When cars were invented, scientists and engineers had to design a ground transportation system with roads and traffic rules. A similar system was designed for air transportation. With more people traveling by air than ever before, your challenge is to find ways to improve this air transportation system.

Space Place is the place for hands-on elementary-age space crafts ("Make your own jewel in the sky, a model Saturn decoration"), space activities ("Play our Intergalactic Adventures board game and be the first to explore a black hole and live to tell about it!") and space experiments ("Test a new spacecraft material.") You'll also find a smattering of fun space facts, but not exhaustive reference material.

Virtual Journey into the Universe
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you have Shockwave and Java capabilities, fasten your seat belt for this exceptional virtual tour of our solar system. Starting in the cockpit, you have your choice of ten destinations: from the Sun to Pluto and Neptune. Upon arriving at each planet (or star), you can peruse the illustrated features (such as Exploration, Surface, and Interior) or explore the interactive component that might be a game or an explanatory animation.
