Moon Vehicle: Reflections from an Artist-Led Children's Workshop on the <i>Chandrayaan-1</i> Spacecraft's Mission to the Moon

Abstract

<jats:p> This article reflects on the journey to the Moon of the spacecraft Chandrayaan-1 as it was interpreted through an artist-led workshop. The workshop participants were a group of children who lived close to where Chandrayaan was built and some of the engineers and scientists responsible for creating the spacecraft. Insights from the workshop show how a mission to the Moon draws on both the technological and the imaginative; they also have bearing on the relative agency of these individuals to contribute to the Moon missions in ways that are personally meaningful to them. </jats:p>
