SPACE EDUCATION

Inspire the next generation of astronauts with your very own space launch. Our award-winning Classtronauts program lets schoolchildren participate in a launch by sending up a lightweight presentation or experiment on one of our spaceflights and have it captured on video floating above the Earth.

HOW IT WORKS

When you sign up, we’ll ask you to choose or create a standout feature item, along with images and video clips you would like featured in the final launch video. Our engineering team will mount this on a bespoke spacecraft which will carry it on your spaceflight.

 

Once we receive the featured item from you, we will provide you with an educational film explaining how the launch works and a document with FAQs to help teachers explain everything to students. 

 

In the meantime, our team will plan, and carry out the launch based on optimal weather and flight path predictions. When your launch window approaches, we’ll be monitoring weather conditions continuously and will let you know when the launch is going to take place. 

 

After the spacecraft is returned to Earth, we will return the feature item. Our creative team will make a personalised video incorporating the onboard footage of the spaceflight and the clips you provided to share with your students and celebrate their achievements.

 

Inspire the next generation of astronauts with an unforgettable space experience. Our acclaimed Classtronauts program offers schools the chance to send a lightweight item—whether it's a creative artwork, a school mascot, or a student-designed experiment—on an actual space mission, all captured in breathtaking footage from space.

THE NEXT GENERATION

At Sent Into Space, we’re passionate about education. Our company started as a side project while our founders were studying their PhDs, and we proudly offer apprenticeships, summer internships and year in industry placements for school leavers and undergraduate students. 


Space is uniquely inspiring and the Classtronauts program leverages its ability to spark imagination and passion for science with an experience your children will remember forever. We’ve worked with groups of all backgrounds and have materials tailored to different age ranges and ability levels. To make our launches accessible to as many as possible, 5% of revenue from all our corporate work is set aside to subsidise educational projects about space.
