How might a future mission to Mars look? What roles exist on-site and who supports the team from Earth? How does the rover bring rock samples to the habitat for further analysis, and what happens in case of an emergency? These are questions that Mission Control has not only theoretically addressed but also tested with sets, costumes, and props.

As part of This is (not) Rocket Science!, the role-playing game "Expedition Mars" was developed in collaboration with the project partner LIQUIFER. The young participants tested it and provided valuable feedback for finalization. Mission completed? Not quite yet...
