About this experience
Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut? The Kennedy Space Center Astronaut Training Experience (ATX) is as close as you'll get to the real thing - a 4 to 5 hour immersive training programme led by Space Flight Experts and Educators that will push you to your limits and leave you with memories that are truly out of this world.
What's Included:
4-5 Hour Immersive Astronaut Training: A full half-day of hands-on astronaut training activities led by Space Flight Experts and Educators from 8.30am to 1.30pm.
Microgravity Simulator: Train for weightlessness and conduct your own spacewalk in a frictionless environment, working as a crew to complete a series of training challenges on the path to Mars. Minimum height 48 inches / 1.22 metres.
Land & Drive On Mars: Take the Commander or Pilot seat in a full-motion simulator and navigate the rough terrain of the Martian surface. Varying degrees of motion intensity mean everyone can take part. Minimum height 51 inches / 1.3 metres.
Walk On Mars: Step onto the Red Planet through a fully immersive virtual reality experience - the only place on Earth where you can explore Mars quite like this. Minimum height 48 inches / 1.22 metres.
