What are space agencies?

A space agency is like a team of explorers who go on adventures to learn about space and help us travel there.

Imagine you have a big toy box full of rockets, spaceships, and tools, that’s kind of what a space agency has. They use these to send astronauts into the sky, explore planets, and even take pictures of faraway stars.

A space agency is like a club where people work together to discover new things about space. Some famous ones are NASA (from America), ESA (from Europe), and JAXA (from Japan). These groups have scientists, engineers, pilots, and even robot helpers who all do their part in the big mission.

Just like you build lego towers or draw pictures, space agencies build real things that go into space. They make rockets, satellites, and spaceships, all to help us understand the universe better.

Sometimes they send astronauts up high to walk on the moon, or send robots to visit other planets. It’s like having a team of friends who love adventures and always want to learn something new!
