Learning Centers

In conjunction with the introduction of the Next Generation Challenger Simulator, Challenger Center is also unveiling an exciting new educational experience, Journey to Jupiter and Its Moons.

This new mission scenario is being added to our existing roster of mission scenarios, which feature simulated trips to the Moon, Mars, a Comet, and a study of the Earth from space. Journey to Jupiter and Its Moons features a wide variety of hands-on science, math and technology activities and experiments plus over 20 minutes of high resolution custom computer graphics and NASA imagery.

It is currently available with the NGCS and will be adapted to our Network of Traditional Simulators in the coming months. A second scenario, Saturn Rendevous is currently in production. Stay tuned for more on that program.
