MISSION SIMULATIONS
At a Challenger Learning Center of Alaska, students fly simulated
space missions.
The Learning Centers offer students the next best
thing to actual space flight with a
Mission Control room designed
after NASA Johnson Space Center and an orbiting space station.
When students arrive at a Challenger Learning Center, they are first
greeted by Learning Center
representatives decked out in NASA flight
suits. These Flight Directors, many of them
former classroom
teachers, provide an orientation briefing in which the students are
given an overview of the mission, as well as their crew assignments.
