The Mission

In the not-too-distant future, a crew onboard the Spacecraft is performing the first mission ever to originate from Earth orbit. Their goal is to complete the assembly of a probe and launch it to rendezvous with Comet Encke. Along the way, astronauts must be prepared for unexpected and highly unpredictable objects in the Solar System that may come their way.

The Mission

Each crew member is transported into the year 2076-when a routine flight to Mars has brought the latest human crew into Martian orbit. Crew members work together with Flight Directors to accomplish their mission-a two-hour program utilizing problem-solving, communication and decision-making skills.

Our newest program, Micronauts, is geared specifically for students in Kingergarten through fourth grade. Through a series of space and science-related activities, students learn principals of science, math and engineering--all while having fun!
