CHALLENGER LEARNING CENTER - ST. LOUIS
The award-winning Challenger Learning Center-St. Louis is an international not-for-profit education organization founded in April of 1986 by the families of the astronauts tragically lost during the Challenger space shuttle mission.
The center provides several space education programs, missions, and simulations. At the core of the Center are state-of-the-art space simulators, which include an orbiting space station, and a Mission Control center modeled after NASA's Johnson Space Center.
THE MISSION: RENDEZVOUS WITH A COMET
In the not-too-distant future, a crew onboard the Spacecraft is performing the first mission ever to originate from Earth orbit. Their goal is to complete the assembly of a probe and launch it to rendezvous with Comet Encke. Along the way, astronauts must be prepared for unexpected and highly unpredictable objects in the Solar System that may come their way.
