Manx students will be jetting off to the states tomorrow to spend two weeks with NASA.
Three Year-12 pupils, two from Castle Rushen High School and one from King Williams College, will visit the United Space School in Houston to work on planning a simulated manned mission to Mars.
They will be taking part with peers from over 20 different countries throughout the experience.
Their mission is thanks to the ManSat Group Space School Scholarship, that has seen 36 Island students head across the Atlantic since 2000.
