Want to become an astronaut for a day? Bring your employees to Corporate SPACE CAMP for one, two, or three-day space adventure.

Basic Training
You don't just hear about what an astronaut does, you'll do what an astonaut does! Train like an astronaut on simulators patterned after those actually used by NASA. Each team member will experience what it's like to walk on the moon in the 1/6th Gravity Chair. You will be strapped into the Five Degrees of Freedom Chair, which simulates the frictionless environment of space. You will also feel what it's like to tumble in spacecraft on the Multi-Axis Trainer.
