International Space Station 
380 kilometres above the earth the International Space Station, or ISS, is travelling around the globe at over 32,000 
kilometres an hour.
While they are living on the ISS, the crew of six international scientists see a sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes.
Scientists made the decision to use Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in space. So, it’s the same time on the ISS as it is in 
Greenwich, London – 11.00 a.m.
The crew are very busy this morning. They are all doing very important scientific experiments and looking after the 
space station.
But there’s always time to look out of the window and think about how the people on earth, so far below, are spending 
their day.

Unit 11: A charity expedition 
 
Part 1: An amazing journey 
It’s an October morning in North London. 
A group of friends are very busy. They’re planning a route from Perth, in Western Australia, to Auckland, in New 
Zealand.
But they aren’t going to travel by car, van or bus. They are going to drive a big red fire engine called Martha. 
They are all part of an amazing charity expedition called Follow That Fire Engine.
Amy is one of the crew members. 
Amy 
So, 
Follow That Fire Engine
 is a charity expedition. We’re driving a fire engine around the world to raise money for 
charity.
 
It’s going to take nine months. It’s 26,000 miles, twenty-eight countries, and three charities.
 
There are twenty-five people in the crew. At any one time there can be five people in the fire engine.
 
Steve is driving for the whole nine months. Some people are driving, going out for two weeks, some people three 
months, and I’m going out for five months to drive the fire engine. 
So why are they going to drive a fire engine around the world?
