Space Express: How Space Fans Traveled Across the Solar System

To celebrate World Space Week, an interactive event called “Space Express: Journey Through the Solar System” took place on October 9. Organized by Universe Space Tech magazine and Association Noosphere, it invited viewers to dive into a fast-paced adventure – one they helped shape themselves.

Space Express was an educational online quest where the audience could decide what happened next. Together with Universe Space Tech contributors and experts Kyrylo Maksymov and Oleksandr Burlaka, participants chose their destination, designed a spacecraft, assembled a crew, and set off into deep space. On their way to Mars and Europa, they faced all sorts of challenges: technical failures, unexpected cosmic phenomena, and other obstacles that made the mission anything but simple. No one knew how the story would unfold — or whether the crew would make it to the end. But in the end, everyone succeeded.

More than 300 space enthusiasts from across Ukraine and beyond registered for the Space Express adventure, and about a hundred joined the live online journey. The most active participants received gifts from Noosphere and Universe Space Tech magazine.
