New Line of Space-Themed Educational Toys, Based on NASA Projects

In this era of renewed global interest in space exploration, Future Explorers LLC, a company based in Cape Canaveral, Florida, has teamed with Playmind Ltd. to develop a series of space-themed STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) toys.

These innovative and educational toys are designed to captivate children's imaginations. To ignite their curiosity about space exploration. Crafted by space experts, these products promise to make science and engineering topics engaging, especially enticing for young minds. These products are designed with the upcoming moon and Mars missions, such as the Artemis project, and other NASA endeavors in mind, appealing to both children and adults alike.

The initial lineup consists of five different space-themed STEM products, all of which have received approval from NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. These products have also been authenticated by STEM.ORG, America's longest continuously operating STEM education research and credentialing organization.

The first, is the Perseverance Mars Rover, inspired by the real rover that NASA successfully landed on Mars in 2021. Children will have the opportunity to assemble and test this rover, complete with a motorized system that allows it to move "on Mars" just like the actual rover.

Next in the lineup is the Gateway Lunar Station, an interactive model representing NASA's planned lunar station as part of the Artemis program. The Gateway is equipped with various special features, including a still image projector displaying photos from the last Artemis 1 mission, an audio player simulating conversations between Mission Control and the Gateway, and rotating solar panels and internal lights. Assembling this model will be an educational experience for children.

The third product is the Canadarm Robotic System, a mechanical arm based on the famous robotic arm used in the Space Shuttle program. Children will have the opportunity to assemble and test this arm, which is activated using hydraulic power.

The fourth and fifth products are the Space Experiments Kits 1 and 2, each containing five independent experiments focused on teaching children about space science and technology. These kits include simple experiments that can be conducted at home, covering topics such as solar power, wind power, heat exchange, electricity, germination, and more.

All these products have been designed by Dr. Pablo de León, an aerospace engineer and space expert with over 30 years of experience in NASA-funded projects. Dr. Pablo is now dedicated to inspiring the new generation's interest in space exploration. He has also authored educational and engaging manuals for each product, offering insights into the reasons driving human space exploration.

Dr. Pablo de León holds a postgraduate degree in space studies and a doctorate in the history of science and technology. Presently, he serves as the Director of the Human Spaceflight Laboratory at the University of North Dakota (UND) and is the Chair of the Department of Space Studies at the same university. Throughout his career, he has been involved in various NASA-funded projects, including the development of an analog planetary station for the Moon and Mars, as well as the creation of multiple planetary space suits, such as the NDX-1, NDX-2, and DL/H-1.

Dr. De León's impressive contributions extend to being the integration manager on an experimental satellite (Pehuensat-1, launched from India in 2007) and the Payload Manager for seven experiments flown on the Space Shuttle Endeavour (STS-108). Additionally, he was among the original competitors of the Ansari X-Prize, a competition that significantly contributed to the commercial spaceflight revolution. He has personally participated in 80 parabolic flights with NASA's KC-135 for microgravity experiments and has served as a test subject for various space suit experiments, including those conducted in Antarctica in 2011 and the Kennedy Space Center Lunar Regolith Lab in 2017.

Presently, Dr. Pablo is leading a new NASA-funded project focused on developing experimental space suits using additive manufacturing (3-D printing) to support future missions to Mars. His dedication and expertise continue to inspire the advancement of space exploration and education for generations to come.
