CubeSTEM MissionLab
Give your students a spacecraft mission.
Students solve a spacecraft problem, test an idea, run the mission and choose a solution from the results. It works in a browser, with no account or hardware.

Can you trust what the spacecraft is telling you?
Grades 6–12 · University
The payload worked. Why did almost no data arrive?
Grades 6–12 · University
A sharper camera takes better pictures. Does it get more of them home?

Thirteen runnable missions. One spacecraft. No student account and no hardware required.
One product
MissionLab is the product a school buys: missions, teacher guidance, evidence and progression. Everything else is part of it.
Real engineering
Students work on the same spacecraft model a university would use, with the depth turned to their level.
No hardware needed
Every mission can be completed on an ordinary computer. Physical experimentation stays optional and supervised.
Students can run thirteen software missions today, each with a problem, guided investigation and evidence-based decision. They remain pilot lessons pending educator review.
The same spacecraft supports school and university journeys, with language and challenge adjusted to the learner's level.
Learners can run missions as guests. Sign-in is reserved for institutional evidence workflows.
Each mission arrives with timing, prompts, common misconceptions, expected evidence and a reflection plan.
Guest mission progress stays on the learner's device. MissionLab does not turn local practice into an official grade or verified award.
After a software mission, selected activities can extend to a supervised KidSAT experiment. It remains training evidence, not flight qualification.
A clear space-engineering offer for your school
Ready, repeatable missions for teachers
Progression from Grade 6 to university
Every mission works on ordinary computers
Private learner work by default
Optional Challenge and supervised hardware
Frame a spacecraft mission objective and success criterion
Predict before operating a model
Distinguish simulated, derived, reference and measured evidence
Compare bounded configurations and runs
Make an engineering decision from selected evidence
State a limitation and reflect on what should be tested next
Connect mission goals, spacecraft behaviour, constraints, and decisions.
Read results, compare evidence and explain what the data supports.
Use quantitative evidence appropriate to the selected academic depth.
Change bounded inputs and explain what caused the modeled response.
Judge whether the evidence is strong enough for the conclusion.
Make a decision, cite evidence, state a limitation, and reflect on the next test.
A school can start with ordinary browsers and a teacher-guided mission. Accounts, paid hardware and official competition attempts are not prerequisites for learning or for completing local practice.
Every mission follows the same shape, so the second is easier to teach than the first. The language and challenge deepen from Grade 6 to university while the spacecraft stays consistent.
The two recommended Grade 7 starting missions are MLX-15 and Orbit–Pass–Link. They are starting points, not the only runnable missions; teachers can choose from all thirteen based on supported level and learning goal.
Mission — role, objective, and success criterion
Preparation — diagnostic, theory, and prediction
Readiness — local formative confirmation
Operate — bounded configuration and run
Evidence — provenance, decision, limitation, assessment
Complete and Recognition — reflection and local record
Teachers brief the role and objective, guide preparation, confirm local readiness, facilitate the run, review evidence and reflection, and explain the difference between local practice and verified recognition. Prepare once, then reuse the shape.
Explore all thirteen missions or open the teacher delivery guide.
MissionLab produces simulated and derived software evidence. Local readiness is not Challenge qualification, local completion is not a verified Mission Pass, and optional supervised hardware is not flight qualification.
