Space Chariot takes writing by children and young people into space.

We launch our pilot mission this year, inviting children aged 8-12 to be inspired by NASA’s image of the day and send their words into the infinite.

Four amazing children’s authors are joining our crew and recording short video workshops to get you started.

We’ll also be asking for your favourite books about — or set in — space to fill our virtual library shelves as part of the national reading for pleasure Go All in campaign.

“Imagine you are a child and can say to yourself and others, ‘my story is now a part of the universe’ and will live forever.”

— Prof. Philip Lubin, Professor of Physics UC Santa Barbara
