Public Space Mission
Town of Ramapo Challenger Center – 225 Route 59 Airmont
March 19, 2017
2-5pm
Just like the real astronauts, public crewmembers will attend a briefing session and then select tasks to perform on the mission such as Navigation, Medical, Communication, and Life Support. Small teams of space adventurers will conduct research, perform scientific experiments, and even deploy a probe.
Tasks are detailed enough to feel real and challenging, simple enough for kids to do, and fun! Participants will work in a simulated Spacecraft and Mission Control, and half way through the mission, a crew exchange provides the astronauts an opportunity to experience the other simulator. It’s a chance for families or individuals to have fun and at the same time learn the importance of working together to achieve a common goal.
Public missions are offered at the Challenger Center on the third Sunday of every month, with voyages to Mars and to a Comet as well as to the Moon.

Public Space Mission
225 Route 59 Airmont, New York
February 19, 2017
2pm-5pm
Reserve a seat on the flight deck. We’re going to fly to a comet. On this public mission, learn about these mysterious objects made of rock, ice, and dust that are among the oldest, most primitive bodies in our Solar System. Just like the real astronauts, public crewmembers will attend a briefing session and then select tasks to perform on the mission. Small teams of space adventurers will conduct research, perform scientific experiments, and even deploy a probe. Tasks are detailed enough to feel real and challenging, simple enough for kids to do.
It’s a chance for families or individuals to have fun and at the same time learn the importance of working together to achieve a common goal.
Public missions are offered at the Challenger Center on the third Sunday of every month, with voyages to the Moon and to Mars as well as to a Comet.
$10 age 9 and older, $5 for children younger than 9 and seniors
For reservations or more information about this unique experience, interested families and individuals may phone Commander John at the Challenger Center: 845-357-3416, or email: john@LHVCC.com
