The Challenger Learning Centre features a two-room simulator, Mission Control and the Spacecraft. Halfway through, the mission requires a crew exchange so everyone has an opportunity to experience both Mission Control and the Spacecraft. Enhancements such as flight uniforms, electronic devices, visual and sound effects all ensure an immersive environment.
Mission Control
Mission Control is the ‘brain power’ of space flight. It is here your engineers observe the status of the mission and support the astronauts. They collect, research and analyze important science data from the spacecraft. Controllers must be ready to respond to unexpected events that could endanger the success of the mission.

Spacecraft
Space is a hostile environment that poses many challenges for humans. In the Spacecraft your astronaut crew is busy checking critical systems and completing numerous hands-on experiments. The Astronauts must collaborate with Mission Control to build probes, operate robotic arms and navigate the spacecraft.
