ESA Education's Moon Camp and Mission X School Projects

On 6 April 2026, NASA’s Artemis II Mission, powered by ESA’s European Service Module (ESM), brought humans further than ever before.

Train like an astronaut with the Mission X project

Astronauts, like Christina Koch, the first woman on a lunar mission, must train hard to prepare for their space missions.

Following in the footsteps of these brave astronauts, students can bring Mission X’s mascots, Luna and Leo, closer to the Moon. By stepping into their shoes, students can train like an astronaut and complete a wide range of activities, even practising for their own journey to space.

From understanding nutrition to learning how to stay strong in space and on Earth, Mission X activities can take you to the Moon.

Design the future with the Moon Camp project

Artemis will bring astronauts to the Moon using Europe’s European Service Module (ESM), which gives air, water, and power to Artemis’ astronauts. And once they touchdown on the surface, they’ll start building a lunar base to keep them just as safe.
