Topic Work
The Space Race
For many years, the USA and USSR were in a race to conquer space. In 1957, Russia sent Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, into space. President Kennedy responded by promising to send an American to the Moon. Eventually the two nations decided to end the Cold War and work together and, in 1981, the space shuttle Columbia was launched.

Design your own Mission Patch
Patches usually have a picture related to the mission or the spacecraft they are flying on, and they often have the crew's names on them too. The Apollo 11 patch shown above is from the first mission to the moon - the lunar module spacecraft that landed on the moon was named Eagle. See lots more patches by clicking here.
Imagine you are about to board a mission to Mars. Try designing your own Mission Patch. You could print and use one of the templates below or choose your own shape. Remember to give your mission a very cool name and choose a memorable symbol to represent your space journey. Take a picture of your design and email it to me please.
