Thrust into the pilot’s chair of an advanced Hsi-series spacecraft by her impatient—and bossy—extraterrestrial mentor, Nicola knows nothing about how to fly it, and why he believes her training will be so important.   

But there’s no time to worry about the difficulty of the task at hand.  The craft has already lurched into motion.  Its base speed is Mach One – already supersonic.  However, she senses it can go faster—a lot faster. 

A series of tall, thin symbols start to appear across the helm interface: a kind of Space Traffic Control shorthand.  In minutes, she must have their meanings memorized, so she can follow the instructions and pilot the powerful craft safely. 

The racecourse is set.

Her opponent (and training partner) stands ready, engines idling.

Her mentor is watching.

Could you stand up to the challenge and win the ‘space-race’?

Study the selected Nav Code symbols, and when you’re confident, take the quiz!
