There and Back with EGS

Written by Lane Polak and Illustrated by Heather Rose Legge-Click

This is the third in a series of children’s books that introduces young explorers ages 3 to 8 to some of the unique elements and programs needed for the Artemis missions to get to deep space and the Moon, such as NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems or EGS for short.

When the mighty SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and dependable Orion spacecraft are ready for their big mission, they travel to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where EGS takes over. The EGS team are the ones that get the rocket and spacecraft ready for launch, sends them to the Moon, and helps bring them home again! So hop aboard and take a tour, as we introduce you to the incredible program that takes us there and back!

NASA is working to send humans back to the Moon to live, learn, and explore through the Artemis campaign. As a member of the Artemis Generation, NASA invites you to be a part of the story.
