The little "astronauts" from Astronomy and Space Science Club of Oradea, were eager to participate in a space adventure: a journey through the planets and their satellites, during World Space Week.

After a relatively short journey to the Moon, followed by a lunar landing, the crew built a lunar basis, equipped with all necessary elements for human survival in this environment.

Two other teams have traveled to the red planet. Once the rovers arrived on Mars, participated in a competitive race. The laws of physics are the same on Mars: rovers propelled of air-filled balloons.
Finally, participants admired the spectacular images of the amazing Saturn, taken from Cassini spacecraft. They discovered some of the mysteries of the cosmos, with an unforgettable journey through our solar system.

Robots in space
The outer space is fascinating, but the work and lives of the astronauts in this environment is not easy. Spatial robots are used to facilitate or even replace human work in space. Whether we talk about humanoid robots, autonomous and mobile explorers, all robots are built and programmed to perform a specific task.
Since the first spatial robot  (Sojourner, Robonaut), geologists robots exploring Mars (Spirit and Opportunity) to the robotic Canadarm2 on the International Space Station, which provides a work platform for astronauts, successfully meet all these different robots missions.
