FIELD TRIPS
SPACE MISSION SIMULATOR
The Challenger Learning Center Space Mission Simulator offers visitors the next best thing to actual space flight with a Mission Control room designed after NASA Johnson Space Center and an orbiting space station modeled after the laboratory on the International Space Station. During a space mission, team members work as scientists and engineers.
Onboard astronauts in the Space Station Simulator work with their counterparts in the Mission Control Simulator to fly one of our three simulated space missions: Rendezvous with a Comet, Return to the Moon, and Voyage to Mars. These simulations provide plenty of challenges for the crews in space and on the ground. From kindergarteners to adult groups, space mission simulations can be tailored for your group* for field trips, birthday parties, corporate team building and much more!
*A minimum of nine people are required for a space mission simulation.*
ULTIMATE CLASSROOM
Developed by professional educators, the Ultimate Classroom includes a 2-hour space mission simulation featuring hands-on activities, an IMAX® film, and a planetarium show. They are designed for up to 32 students from grades 5 – 12. The cost of $650 includes all aforementioned activities, the required teacher in-service training, classroom curriculum materials and follow-up activities for one teacher or group leader.
During a Space Mission Simulation, team members work as scientists and engineers in our Space Mission Simulator. Onboard astronauts in the Space Station Simulator work with their counterparts in the Mission Control Simulator. These simulations provide plenty of challenges for the crews in space and on the ground. Navigating into the correct position for probe launches requires concentration and teamwork to collect vital scientific information and complete the mission.
Additionally, other members of the crew are tasked with maintaining the health and safety of their fellow crewmates. Small bodies in the solar system are also highly unpredictable objects and have been known to surprise scientists from time to time, so crew members will also need to be on their toes and ready to make quick decisions.
