Arlington, VA – January 7, 2019–PBS Distribution announces the release of four new-to-DVD episodes from PBS KIDS series READY JET GO!, in “READY JET GO!: SPACE ROCKS!.” Kids will love exploring and learning about asteroids, meteors and meteorites with Jet, who happens to be an alien, and his friends Sean, Sydney and Mindy. The episodes on this DVD include: Asteroids, Meteors and Meteorites, Mindy’s Meteorite Stand, Comet Fever, and Asteroid Patrol.

“READY JET GO!: SPACE ROCKS!” ($6.99 SRP) will be available on DVD beginning January 15, 2019. The DVD has a run time of approximately 80 minutes.

In the first episode, Asteroid, Meteors and Meteorites, Sean is determined to beat his mystery competitor at a video game of “Astro-Tracker.” Sean realizes the best way to do this is to learn and see an asteroid up-close. The group flies out to space where they learn the difference between an asteroid, a meteor and a meteorite. Will Sean be able to finally beat his competitor with this new knowledge?

In Mindy’s Meteorite Stand, Mindy discovers a unique rock while digging in her yard, and after a series of tests she conducts, she determines that it is in fact a meteorite! She sets up a viewing station where a DSA (Deep Space Array) scientist tells her that it isn’t a meteorite, but could the rock that she is sitting on be one?

In the episode Comet Fever, the neighborhood is having a star gazing party. The kids discover what might be a new comet and want to explore more. While Jet, Sean and Sydney are up in space exploring the comet, Mindy makes them a surprise comet in the backyard with ingredients from home!

And in Asteroid Patrol, Sean learns that asteroids are floating around the solar system, and sets up an asteroid watching-station in his treehouse. Sean’s mother and the DSA help Sean and the others understand how a group of scientists monitor the skies for asteroids, so Sean doesn’t have to do it alone.

READY JET GO! has an average of 6.1 Million viewers each month and nearly 300,000 unique monthly visitors on its PBS online page.

Other titles available from PBS Distribution include: “OUTER SPACE ADVENTURES,” “PEG + CAT: OUT OF THIS WORLD!,” “DINOSAUR TRAIN: WHAT’S AT THE CENTER OF THE EARTH?” and “WILD KRATTS: CREATURE ADVENTURES.”

Episodes featured on this DVD will also be streaming on PBS KIDS Prime Channel.
