Program Objectives

Founded in 1999, the "YF Life Jr. Space Camp Program" is the first program to provide simulated astronaut training for children from Hong Kong and Macau. The program not only stimulates children's interest in space exploration but also encourages their creativity, self-confidence and ability to handle challenges. Plus, it also represents a golden opportunity to develop a closer child-parent bond through learning and studying together.

To mark the 22nd anniversary of this program, we continue to extend the program to Mainland China, providing a precious opportunity for the children of clients to become Jr. Astronauts. This year, 8 outstanding children who live the spirit of "It is Possible!" will be appointed as Jr. Astronauts to undergo a six-day stimulated astronaut training together with their parent this summer at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, USA. All expenses incurred, including the training-program fee, round trip air-tickets to the United States from Hong Kong, accommodation, meals and travel insurance, will be fully sponsored by YF Life.

The U.S. Jr. Space Camp Program is organized by the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, the official National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Visitor Information Center. Space Camp Alumni includes NASA and the European Space Agency astronauts, engineers, scientists and technologists.

If you dare to accept challenges, create personal breakthroughs and are enthusiastic about space exploration and advanced technology, you can also become a Jr. Astronaut. It is Possible!

Overseas Space Camp
At the overseas Space Camp, both children and their parents get a real taste of what it's like to be an astronaut, experiencing exciting astronaut-training programs.

Space Shuttle Mission

The children and their parents are assigned different missions in space, such as Commander, Pilot, Scientist and Maintenance Staff, etc. They work side-by-side and do everything together until the assigned task is completed. On the way, they encounter many difficulties and all of them are required to work as a team to complete the mission.

1/6 Moon Gravity Trainer

The Moon's gravitational pull is 1/6th that of the Earth's. There are three ways of walking on the Moon, including the Bunny Hop, Astronaut Jogging and Crab Sidewalk.

Multi-Axis Trainer

The Multi-Axis Trainer turns at different speeds and directions so that trainees can experience microgravity and the feeling of 360-degree inverted orientation.

Manned Maneuvering Unit

The Manned Maneuvering Unit simulates the environment of performing missions outside the space shuttle in orbit.

Rocket Launch

Apart from learning the principles of rocket science, children partner with their parents in making a model rocket and, most importantly, they both share the excitement and fun of seeing their rocket launched!

Space Lecture

Children acquire advanced space knowledge through a series of games, group discussions and science experiments!
