Our Center
offers three exciting mission scenarios that are run in our
NASA-designed simulators.
Return to the Moon
The year is 2020 and for the first time since the last Apollo mission a crew of
astronauts is returning to the Moon in order to establish a permanent self-sustaining settlement that will
eventually become a stepping-stone for planetary exploration by humans. The crew must work together to accomplish
the tasks necessary for a successful landing, but will they be able to solve the emergencies they encounter along the way?
Voyage to Mars
The year is 2076 and a six-month voyage to Mars has brought the latest crew into orbit around the
red planet. The new crew must launch a probe, conduct experiments, and continue the scientific work being done at the station,
but will the crew's mission be jeopardized by the dust storms that plague the red planet?
Rendezvous With A Comet
The year is 2036 and a crew of astronauts aboard a small and maneuverable
spacecraft is performing the tasks necessary to rendezvous with and collect
material from the comet Encke. Since it orbits the sun every 3.3 years, the
comet Encke is observed often from Earth, but will the crew be ready to
respond to the unpredictability of the many small and mysterious objects
in our Solar System?
