You have a unique opportunity to become part of one of the world’s largest space humanitarian projects supporting children with cancer — and to witness the rocket launch from a cosmodrome in Russia firsthand.

This is a project where dreams don’t stay on paper — they travel to space.
It shows children that adults are ready to do everything for them, even send their dreams beyond Earth,
so they can believe again, feel stronger, and hold on to hope.

And dreams really do come true — we know it,
because we’ve already sent them to space on a real rocket once.
How We Help Children’s Dreams Reach Space
Unity Charity Foundation for Cancer Support
Together with the Roscosmos State Corporation — we create projects that bring hope and turn dreams into reality. One of them is the The Art Rocket.

Children with cancer from 14 countries have drawn their dreams — and those drawings were placed on the outer shell of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle, carrying their wishes straight to the stars.

On November 27 in 2025, our Art Rocket lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome!

Astronaut, Founder of the Space for Art Foundation, USA
All of us at the Space for Art Foundation are in awe of what the UNITY team continues to bring to life through their space, art, and healing work with children around the world. We know this beautiful art rocket is not just about this one launch, it’s about continuing to launch children’s dreams in ways that remind us all how special this planetary spaceship we share in space is and how working in unity together as crewmates can make the future brighter for all life on Earth.
William Schineider Rabelo
Coordinator of the Brazilian Mission (september 2025), Brazil
To be able to attend the first launch of the Art Rocket was the best experience of my life so far. As the coordinator of the Brazilian mission I was able to witness the hard work and true dedication of the Unity family towards our kids. And to see the dreams of our kids reaching the cosmos on the fuselage of Soyuz was a sudden realization that one of the main sentences often used at Unity is true! The impossible is possible!
Trent Tresch
Founding Director, Center for Human Space Exploration (CHaSE), USA
In ten years of working in the space industry, I’ve never been more inspired. The Art Rocket — a vision of the UNITY community and led by Alena — is a dream collaboration between art, science, and storytelling. The images drawn by kids affected by cancer remind us of the value of life and why we work toward the future: for our dreams and for humanity. industry, I’ve never been more inspired.

Jamás había imaginado el poder de la fe cuando se mezcla con la ciencia por el bien de nuestros niños.

I had never imagined the power of faith when combined with science for the sake of our children. The Unity art project has united the world through this event, and it has been an honor to be part of such an important occasion. Thank you, Unity, for your selfless dedication to children battling cancer. Thank you, Unity, for the effort and care that made this event possible. Thank you, Unity, for having a heart of gold.
Pas Schaefer
Artist, Brazil
I saw my inner kid come out and realize a big dream. I used to do social projects, but this one has something special. When we talk about health and dreams, everything becomes urgent. It was very powerful to bring cosmonauts to Brazil and see almost a thousand kids exploding in emotion and people in the hospitals. Bringing out their best dreams… and few months after, to travel to Baikonur in a very special place in history and see a rocket dressed by so many deep dreams, the cosmonauts realizing the most intense journey that a human can do, look behind and see the crowd crying like a kid… that moment i realized that… the dream and the love are urgent.
The World’s First Rocket to Carry Children’s Dreams!
The media impact
of the Art Rocket 2025 was tremendous!
More than 42 millions of people learned that children in hospitals also dream about space
Now We Invite You to Take Part
in the Art Rocket II in 2026

More Children’s Dreams into Space!

We are now preparing to launch our second rocket — and we invite oncology foundations, hospitals, and support centers from all over the world to become part of this mission.

This is a unique opportunity to support your young patients and their families in a truly meaningful way — by giving their dreams a chance to fly beyond Earth. Through the project, children can share what inspires them, feel seen and heard, and become part of something bigger than their diagnosis and daily treatment.

Together, we can create a moment of hope, strength, and connection — one that reminds every child: their dreams matter, and they are not alone.
