Community Mission Event

FLIP THE SCRIPT ON A SPACE MISSION!

Usually, our missions are part of a school field trip. On October 12, we’re inviting families to take the controls! Work together as a crew, take on mission roles, solve problems and experience what it’s like to be part of a simulated space mission.

MORE ON THE MISSION!

After several previous failed attempts, the crew is tasked with a mission to observe, research, and analyze long-period comets that have entered our solar system.

Astronauts in both Mission Control and Spacecraft conduct experiments to study comets to help scientists better understand how they are formed and how they could potentially impact Earth.

During the mission, however, a shocking discovery is made, and the crew must brainstorm together to solve the emergency, ensuring the safety of the crew and the success of the mission.

Teams

One member of each team will be in Mission Control for the first half of the mission while the other is assigned to the Spacecraft. At the midpoint of the experience, the group in Mission Control launches to the Spacecraft and the Spacecraft group returns to work in Mission Control.
