During Science week, all children experienced the awe and wonder of the amazing Alpha Dome!

A variety of planets, planetoids and moons orbit our sun. What
if humans could visit them. Where would we land? What kind of colony would we build? 

The Alpha Dome selects real destinations with different terrains, temperatures, energy sources and gravity – creating realistic environments with reasons to be there and ways to have fun. With muscles and bones made on Earth, you’ll be a superstar on the solar system’s low-gravity worlds.
