Deep Space pack · $1.99The Satellite
A big friendly space station going round and round the Earth so fast that it sees about 16 sunrises a day. Friends from Earth live and work up here, where everything floats and beds are sleeping bags on the wall. In Mackaboo Universe, the pretend play space game for kids, the Satellite has 4 places: Solar Wing Walk, Orbit Bunkhouse, Telescope Room and Signal Room.
Papaboo's facts about the Satellite
Papaboo, who guides the crew, tells these from the corner of the map:
- A satellite goes round and round a planet.
- The Moon is Earth's own satellite!
- Up here: about 16 sunrises a day!
- Satellites help with weather and maps.
- Astronauts sleep in bags on the wall!
Getting there
Fly here from the spaceship's map, on its Deep Space page, and fly back aboard from the Satellite's own map. It is part of our own solar system, so nobody here is an alien; aliens who ride along wait aboard the spaceship.
