The Danish ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen began his six months Huginn mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in August 2023. Already back in 2020 the partnership "Space Exploration Danmark" had started working on two themes related to the Huginn mission in order to get more parties involved and establish a nationwide communication and collaboration project.One theme was about collecting ideas for Danish experiments that Andreas Mogensen could work on during his mission. The other theme was about creating a plan for STEM related activities before, during and after the Huginn mission. This led to the establishment of the project "Rumrejsen" consisting of four signature projects, each with a certain focus: 1.Spacemission Live focusing on events, 2.Space in business, 3.The space station of the future – developing education materials, 4. On mission with Andreas Mogensen - developing an exhibition. More than 15 different partners participated in the project and we here present the results from the project, sharing experiences, ideas and lessons learned.
