What are multi-crew missions?

A multi-crew mission is when more than one person works together to complete a big job or go on an adventure.

Imagine you and your friend are trying to build the tallest block tower ever. You each take turns stacking blocks, helping each other when things get wobbly. That’s like a multi-crew mission, you’re both working as a team to reach a goal.

Like Going on a Team Trip

Think of it like going on a road trip with your whole family. Each person has their own job: one drives, another picks the music, someone else packs snacks. Everyone’s doing something different, but they're all helping the group get to their destination.

Why It's Cool

In real life, multi-crew missions are used in space, like when astronauts work together on a spaceship. Each person has special tasks, one might be fixing things, another is watching the stars, and someone else is cooking food. They all help each other so they can travel far and have fun along the way.
