(NAPSI)—The race to Mars has already begun—come be part of it!
The new Astronaut Training Experience® (ATX) at Kennedy Space
Center Visitor Complex offers the chance to "touch down" on the Red Planet.
ATX uses immersive simulation technology to train participants to live and
work on Mars using real NASA science to address engineering challenges.
Upon entering the Astronaut Training Experience Center, guests are
surrounded by astronaut training techniques and experiences. A sleek design,
realistic signage and sophisticated technology provide a sense of
authenticity. Participants also get lifelike badges and special-issue
T-shirts to immerse them in the program. Assignments are led by expert
educators, referred to as "Trainers" and "Lab Chiefs" to enhance the
experience.
Through the programs—ATX and Mars Base 1—and associated assignments,
participants work together by taking on specific roles to address challenges
and solve problems.
Groups of up to 24 work simultaneously in
multiple training areas that replicate astronaut training of the future.
Trainees work within reproduced environmental scenarios, such as the
Land-and-Drive-on-Mars full-motion simulator, Walk-on-Mars virtual reality,
Launch Mission and Spacewalk Training.
These activities focus on problem solving, communication and
collaboration, making them excellent for team building in an interesting and
inspirational environment. Extra programs, which are not included with
admission, range from 30 minutes to seven hours. Two-, three- and five-day
camp programs are also available.
