Space science and technology has applications in various aspects, such as health, education, finance, oil and mineral exploration, the environment, etc. But despite these numerous applications, especially in the day-to-day life of the people, the study of space science education is at the lowest ebb. This work was aimed at discussing the challenges facing the study of space science education in Nigeria, especially at the primary and post-primary schools. From the results, it was observed that space science education has many benefits, such as inspiring students to explore the universe, enhancing national security, supporting economic growth and development, and inspiring students to pursue careers in emerging fields like planetary science, etc., but there are also impediments to this education, such as limited resources and funding, a lack of qualified educators, curriculum constraints, limited access to technology and equipment, etc. It was concluded that space science education has a lot of benefits that society can derive from, even as it is faced with numerous challenges.
