What’s next
We’re starting with one six-week mission at one hospital. Here’s where we’d like to go once that works.
One step at a time
- 2026
Name, website and plan.
- Early 2027
Register as a charity. One six-week mission with one hospital play team.
- Late 2027
Missions on three to five wards, one after another. The first ISS nights.
- 2028 on
Twenty or more wards and hospices, and the bigger moments below.
The bigger moments
None of these is arranged yet. They’re what we’re working towards, and each one needs the right partner.
ISS night
The crew and ward staff watch the International Space Station fly over the hospital, with an engineer live on screen telling them where to look. Needs: a clear evening and a good pass. It’s free.
Your name in space
The children’s names and patch drawings fly on a real satellite. Needs: a satellite company with room on board.
Talk to an astronaut
A radio call with astronauts on the Space Station, during the few minutes it passes overhead. Needs: a successful application. Places are competitive.
Mission control visit
A visit to a real mission control or ground station, when a child is able to travel. Needs: a host company and careful planning with the hospital.
Name a satellite
A crew names a real satellite. Needs: a partner company with a satellite to name.
Can you help make one happen?
If your organisation could help with any of these, we’d love to talk.
