Space Race Run at Baikonur Cosmodrome

Human Spaceflight History Adventure Pack

On the launchpads of Baikonur Cosmodrome, countdown clocks are flashing across the timeline.

Historic missions are appearing out of order. Records of the first satellite and first human in space are misaligned. The path from early launches to the Moon landing is fragmenting across the archive. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in human spaceflight history, and if the mission sequence is not restored, one of humanity’s greatest exploration stories could lose its momentum.

In Space Race Run at Baikonur Cosmodrome, students board the Cosmo Caravan and enter a high-stakes space history mission. By exploring how the space race began, how launch vehicles carried crews into orbit, and how missions built toward the Moon landing, explorers must rebuild the timeline and preserve the legacy of human exploration beyond Earth.

This adventure blends history, engineering, and global achievement with story-driven exploration.
