Ever wonder what it takes to put complete a space shuttle mission? Join Science Center staff as we become space mission experts at the Challenger Learning Center. You will be engaged in roles similar to those of NASA astronauts, scientists and engineers. After a brief orientation, some of you will "launch" into space to work on board a space station. The other half will get to monitor and guide the astronauts' activities in Mission Control. We will also explore rocketry during the Great Rocket Design Challenge. Fees include transportation only. Please bring sack lunch. Dress for the weather.
