Public Missions at the Nierman Challenger Learning Center
Take the ultimate trip! A realistic Mission Control mock-up and a 21st century Space Station will introduce you to the teamwork, technology, and drama involved in space travel. Work in teams to solve real-life science, technology and math problems using our unique, hands-on space simulators. High-tech hardware and computer software enhance the realistic feel of the mission control and the futuristic space station, closely mirroring the work of astronauts currently in orbit. Astronauts may monitor and test life support systems, work in the clean room to build, test and launch a scientific space probe, or use our isolation station robots and glovebox workstations to analyze extraterrestrial samples.
