Experts think that commercial space travel will be as common as air travel in as little as 50 years.   Sam imagines what it would be like to take a trip from a space port.

As an increasing number of companies get involved in space exploration, there will be more jobs to be done – Sam looks at some of these careers.

Sam explores some exciting developments in space research.

Sam thinks about who will use our new space ports – and how satellites are likely to take centre stage.

Sam explores the best places for spaceports to be located.  

Sam explores how different types of spacecraft need different types of runway, and about the kind of space runways we could see in the UK.

The technology used to manufacture space planes will include some amazing new materials – Sam finds out more..

Sam’s making a presentation for his class at Deep Space High – all about the development of spaceports on his home planet of Earth.  He explores the types of craft which go into space.

Sam’s learning about space ports and how the UK will be getting its own in the near future.  He finds out these exciting new places will help everyone in the UK.

Sam’s making a presentation for his class at Deep Space High – all about the exciting developments in spaceports on his home planet of Earth.  He explores what they are and why we need to think about them.

Sam, Stats and Quark take a trip to see one of the busiest satellites in the sky – the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Taking readings across a wide variety of wavelengths, it helps get the full picture of activity around the sun.

Outside the protective magnetosphere, there’s nothing between humans and the powerful radiation from the solar winds. Sam, Stats and Quark find out how it isn’t just astronauts who are at risk – even aircraft passengers can be affected.

Sam, Stats and Quark are exploring some of the projects through which scientists measure and investigate solar activity. One project is the European Space Agency’s Cluster Mission.

The source of most of the space weather affecting Earth is The Sun. In this episode, the class take a trip inside the star to see where it all starts.

Sam, Stats and Quark are finding out about SPACESTORM – a way to predict the effect of space weather on satellites - and take a trip to the far side of the Sun to see STEREO.

Sam, Stats and Quark learn about how big solar storms can affect things on earth, whether it be planes or satellites in orbit.

Sam, Stats and Quark are learning how space weather can affect life on Earth and the atmosphere around it.  But how do we measure space weather?  And how can we know what to expect?

Sam, Stats and Quark are finding out about different types of space weather – from magnetic storms to cosmic rays, solar wind and coronal mass ejections.  There’s a lot going on up there!

Sam, Stats and Quark are finding out what space weather is all about.  And find that like the weather on Earth, it changes all the time - although sometimes slightly more dramatically.

Sam, Stats and Quark learn about how other planets are affected by space weather.

Sam has been set homework – to find out about more robots used in exploring Mars. He finds that there have been quite a few!

The class think about the differences between humans and robots - and some of the similarities too.

The class at Deep Space High have been learning about the ExoMars Rov-er – today they’re finding out more about the Aurora programme as a whole and how the mission has already begun.

The class find out why digging deep is necessary to find signs of life on Mars.

Sam has been set homework – to find out about robots used in exploring Mars. He finds that there have been quite a few!

Navigating and moving around Mars is hard.  And without being able to be in constant contact with Earth, the ExoMars Rover has to look after itself.

Landing on Mars is one of the hardest part of any mission.  Most Mars missions have ended in failure due to problems landing so as design challenges go, it’s a big one! The class discover why.

The class think about the challenge of making sure nothing organic from earth goes along for the ride on the ExoMars Rover. They would be nothing worse than accidently finding some old flu cells on Mars!

Dust is a fact of life on Mars – and it gets everywhere!  The class think about the challenges that dust presents the designers of the ExoMars Rover. 

Sam has homework for his class on Mars – to find out about more robots used in space exploration. He finds that there have been quite a few!

The class think about the extremes of temperature on Mars and look at some of the design features that an ExoMars Rover will have to help cope.

The class start to think about how you go about designing an ExoMars Rover.  It’ll need to be able to withstand the conditions on Mars – and Mars can be a tough place…

Pulsar explains why Mars is so interesting to earthlings – it may be able to sustain life – in fact life may already be on the planet. He tells them all about a new mission that hopes to find out more.

Principle Pulsar is kicking off a new school project to the class of Deep Space High – all about Mars, a planet in the Solar System that’s got earthlings very excited…

Experts on all things space tell us whether pets can really go to Space and we find out how many people have visited Space!

Professor Pulsar and Sam are exploring Earth and are finding out what radioactive dating is and how it can help us.

The Moon is covered in craters but how come the Earth isn’t? Well maybe it is, Professor Pulsar explains all!

Professor Pulsar and Sam are still exploring Earth and this time they’re finding out all about the Earth’s magnetic field and how it differs to other planets.

What are fluids? Where can we find them? What do they affect on Earth? Professor Pulsar is here to teach Sam and you all about them!

Professor Pulsar and Sam explore what gravity is responsible for on Earth, and it’s more than you may think!
