In this resource from ESA, students' mission is to design and build a vehicle that will protect their Eggnaut from the perils of re-entry from space. The objective is to have your Eggnaut survive the fall without a crack.

The project can be adpated for either primary or secondary students.

The resource was produced by Spaceweek International for ESA, and includes an equipment list, questions to consider and rules for the project.

Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
