New project to get youngsters into orbit
Space was the place at Castle Rushen High School last night.
A new 'learning journey' for students was officially launched, as a space capsule belonging to Excalibur Almaz and various other pieces of space equipment - including a suit worn during missions to the International Space Station - went on display.
It's hoped the objects, along with plenty of informational literature and hands on exhibits, will help inspire students to take an interest in science and technology - and maybe even a career in the space industry.
Excalibur Almaz is based on the Island, with offices in both the US and Russia.
Chairman Art Dula says space will be the future for students currently at school:
