Learn the Moon Base by Building It
Habitact Academy turns the LunarACT Moon base into a hands-on mission. Players progress from a rocket on the pad to a crew operating the base, learning real engineering along the way. It runs in the browser with no accounts, no ads, and no logins — progress is stored locally on the device.

Five Stages, Pad to Base
Eighteen lessons take players from launch to living on the Moon.
Rocket Lab
Design a rocket that passes the rocket equation within a budget.
Flight Plan
Choose one of five US launch sites and a path, then time the burn that leaves Earth.
Landing
Fly the descent manually or on autopilot — no air, and the Sun near the horizon.
Moon Base
Assemble a habitat on NASA terrain under a 42-tonne limit.
Base Operations
Keep four crew alive for 30 days and build a landing pad from moon dirt.
Two Levels
Lessons come in Explorer (grades 5–8) and Engineer (grades 9–12) versions, so the same mission fits different classrooms.
Teacher Hub
5E unit plans, a four-week pacing guide, and activities covering 25 NGSS performance expectations — ready to run in class.
