What is Space Shuttle Blasts Off! about?

Commander Mandy and her panda crew are ready for an important space mission. Their shuttle roars away from the launch pad and zooms into orbit, where they must repair an old satellite. But the job is trickier than expected, and the crew must work together to solve problems along the way. With bright illustrations, lively vehicle sounds and simple explanations of the shuttle’s parts, this exciting story introduces young children to space travel, teamwork and the wonders of astronautics.
