What your child takes away from this adventure

Straight answers to the questions parents ask most about Satwatchers, a series created by a satellite engineer to explain space to his own son.

The questions parents ask

Every answer comes with a way to check it for yourself.

Is it safe for my child?

The games have no ads and no purchases, and we don't ask for any data about your child. The shopping area of this site only opens after a question that an adult answers.

Will my child really learn something?

Yes. Every character is inspired by a real satellite, such as Landsat and Europe's Sentinel-2, Brazil's CBERS and Amazônia-1, and Starlink. Kids discover how satellites help with weather forecasts, navigation (GPS and Galileo), communication and caring for forests.

Meet the crew and the satellites

Will my child enjoy it?

The adventures follow Pedro and his satellite friends, each with a different superpower. On the site, kids can already play Optee's Satellite Quiz and other missions, for free.

What values does Satwatchers teach?

Our motto is Culture, Discovery and Teamwork. Nobody can do everything alone: when one friend can't do it, another friend's superpower helps.

Will it spark my child's curiosity?

Every story answers a real question a child would ask. In the games, kids observe, compare and draw their own conclusions, just like someone analyzing satellite images.

Who is behind the series?

Illustration of Marcio Perassoli, creator of the series

It all started with a son's question. Marcio Perassoli's son wanted to understand his father's job, so Marcio turned the world of satellites into adventures.

Marcio is an engineer with over 15 years in remote sensing and experience in satellite operations centers in Brazil and abroad.

About the use of artificial intelligence: Satwatchers uses AI only to turn Marcio's ideas into images and design. It helps with the creation, but the scientific content is all his.

Does it go beyond the screen?

Yes. The crew cards are free to print. An adult reads a mission out loud, the child picks the friend with the right superpower and explains why. Then you read the science fact on the back together.

There's also a blank card for your child to draw and invent their own satellite.
