European Space Agency – Space for Kids

Wouldn't you like to see your space art pieces displayed on the ESA Kids website? Here's the chance! Each month we will focus on a different topic. Topics covered range from orbits to planets, including astronauts and even asteroids.

Why do we send robots into space and not humans? Robots can go where we can't: cold places, hot places, dangerous places – robots are up to the challenge! They can explore planets, take pictures, measure temperature, sample rocks and soil with drills, and much more!
Robots can also help astronauts accomplish various tasks in space, inside or outside the International Space Station! On the International Space Station, the European robotic arm helps astronauts perform tasks outside the station. It closely resembles a human arm, with an elbow, shoulders, and even wrists. It is equipped with cameras and can move astronauts during a spacewalk.
