After getting into trouble with the space station 's commander , Edward Plank , Zenon 's parents punish her by sending her to Earth to live with her Aunt Judy . On Earth , Zenon experiences trouble fitting in with other kids , who consider her name , space - station stories and slang to be weird . Likewise , Zenon considers the children at her school woefully out of touch with pop culture . Homesick , Zenon often communicates with her best friend on the space station , Nebula Wade , via a video phone tablet . Eventually , Zenon makes friends on Earth with two boys , Andrew and Greg ( with whom she develops a relationship ) . Along the way the kids learn to be more accepting of one another and to look past first impressions . During her time on Earth , Zenon uncovers a plot masterminded by station bigwig Parker Wyndham to use a computer virus to crash the space station . When Zenon tries to warn her parents of the danger , Commander Plank , who sees all children as troublemakers , convinces Zenon 's parents not to listen to her . Plank believes that her story is only a ploy to get back onto the space station to attend an upcoming concert by her idol Proto Zoa and his pop - rock group Microbe . Andrew and Greg join in to help Zenon find a way to save the people on the space station . Andrew creates a computer anti-virus , but Zenon must get Andrew 's disk to the space station . Zenon goes to the launch yard , hoping to sneak onto a rocket to the space station . Proto Zoa , who is about to depart from the concert , recognizes Zenon from a `` Dance with Proto Zoa '' contest and has her and Aunt Judy join him on the launch to the station . Upon arrival , Commander Plank is shocked to see Zenon , but lets her stay when he becomes smitten with Aunt Judy . Plank still wo n't believe Zenon 's story , especially when Wyndham accuses her of trying to sabotage the station . Zenon manages to load Andrew 's anti-virus program on the station 's computers in time . Wyndham is arrested with his assistant Lutz while everyone else enjoys the Microbe concert .
