Abandoned but not forgotten
The stories behind NASA’s forgotten explorers.
Abandoned but Not Forgotten is an interactive storytelling project that explores the legacy of NASA’s equipment left behind on the Moon and Mars. Through engaging stories, images, and interactive questions, we introduce young people aged 12–18 to four historical space explorers, highlighting their missions, journeys, and lasting contributions to space exploration.
Our website brings these forgotten machines back into the spotlight, showing that even after their missions end, their discoveries continue to shape our understanding of space.
Because every explorer leaves a story, and no discovery should be forgotten.
