What\u2019s inside it? How does it reach space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that \u2018Rocket Revolution\u2019 is the theme of this year\u2019s World Space Week, from 4 to 10 October?&nbsp;And guess what? Rockets are also the theme of this month\u2019s Cosmic Art Contest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ESA has been developing rockets for many years. Back in 1979, the first Ariane rocket, Ariane 1, was launched. Since then, European rockets have continued to evolve, with launchers such as Ariane 6&nbsp;and Vega-C carrying missions into space today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rockets open the door to amazing adventures in space. When a rocket lifts off, its engines roar. They create a huge push that sends the rocket into the sky and helps it overcome the pull of Earth\u2019s gravity. Rockets carry satellites that help you look at your beautiful planet from above, spacecraft that explore distant worlds, and even astronauts on their journeys beyond Earth.&nbsp;Pretty amazing, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why not show off your love of rockets by making your own rocket-inspired artwork? You could build a model of a rocket with a unique pattern or create a drawing of a rocket zooming off on a daring journey into space. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Theme: Rockets<\/strong><br><strong>Deadline: 31 October 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take part in the competition <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.esa.int\/paxi\/explore\/paxis-cosmic-art-contest-rockets\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/learn.esa.int\/explore\/paxis-cosmic-art-contest-rockets\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"El pr\u00f3ximo gran cohete europeo, en pocas palabras\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Q9HnbAjW1U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will select the best entries, which will go into the Space Gallery and will receive a special prize from the European Space Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upload your artwork using the button to the right or send it to:&nbsp;<br>ESA Education, ESTEC,&nbsp;<br>Keplerlaan 1, PO Box 299&nbsp;<br>NL-2200 AG Noordwijk, the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The maximum age limit for competition entries is 12.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi friends, it\u2019s your favourite alien space explorer Paxi here!
