RETURN TO THE MOON MISSION
Return to the Moon Mission: In
this three hour space mission simulation, the girls take on the
role of mission controllers and NASA astronauts who have been
selected to Return to the Moon. The year is 2040 and the goal is
to land on the moon. During the mission experience, the crew is
divided into eight teams each having a specific responsibility
for the success of the mission. All must work together to
monitor the space travel, find and solve emergency situations,
and successfully reach the goal! Our Challenger Learning Center
is one of a network of over 50 centers established by the family
of the crew of the Challenger Space Shuttle Mission 51-L as a
living memorial to their loved ones. The state of the art
simulator provides the background for the experience, but the
girls provide the awesome power to successfully accomplish the
mission. See if your troop has the right stuff to make it to the
Moon! The mission experience has been designed to allow the
girls to work toward the completion of the aerospace badge. A
pre mission training for the troop leader(s) is available
(optional) for an additional fee. |

MINI DISCOVERY MISSION
The Mini Discovery Mission is a
space simulation especially designed for younger space
travelers. The girls take on the role of scientists,
mathematicians, and engineers and are in control as they work in
our spacecraft simulator to gather data for NASA. During the
ground school portion of the mission experience the girls will
work on the Space Explorer Try It requirements. In each portion
of the program, ground school and the mission, the mission can
be accomplished only if the crew works as a team! Our Challenger
Learning Center is one of a network of over 50 centers
established by the family of the crew of the Challenger Space
Shuttle Mission 51-L as a living memorial to their loved ones.
The state of the art simulator provides the background for the
experience, but the girls provide the awesome power to
successfully accomplish the mission. |
