Xtronaut is a board game developed by a scientist, Dante Lauretta, the principle investigator in charge of the OSIRIS REx mission. It bills itself as 'The Game Of Solar System Exploration' where the object is to build rockets to complete exploration missions.

The gameplay mechanics are pretty simple and it's definitely aimed at younger players, but it also has about half the manual devoted to educational activities. It's available on Amazon http://amzn.to/2nnytbw

'Constellations' - A new game from the same creator is currently running a funding campaign on Kickstarter.
