  SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION

This activity is the highlight of the program!

• During our simulated space shuttle missions, campers are assigned special positions such as payload specialist on the space shuttle Discovery and flight engineer in mission control.
• Each crew member and mission control specialist is integral to the success of the mission. If a team member neglects a vital duty or assignment, it may have an adverse effect on the outcome of the flight.
• Participants learn how to effectively communicate with one another, solve problems together, and work as a team to ensure overall success of the mission.
