FIND YOUR CAREER COMPASS

Before you train to be a Marstronaut, let's discover what you bring to the crew.

Every crew needs different strengths. A mission to Mars needs engineers, doctors, builders, communicators, and scientists. This isn't a test — there are no wrong answers. The assessment takes about 10 minutes. Your Compass will evolve as you learn new skills and explore new interests.

"Every BODY has a role to play. Let's find yours." — Coach Lucy
