Space Missions

A Unique Adventure with the Aurora Spacecraft: The Manned Moon Mission Simulation is the most impressive and special activity of the program.

A Unique Adventure with the Aurora Spacecraft: Manned Moon Journey Simulation: The Aurora Spacecraft offers a realistic space flight experience that simulates NASA's planned manned moon missions in the 2030s. Inside the Aurora Capsule, the Altair Lunar Lander, at the 'Rising Star' station, and the Ground Control Center, you can take on crucial roles such as 'Commander,' 'Flight Director,' 'Lunar Mission Specialist,' and become part of this thrilling adventure.

Space Station Flight Mission with the Discovery Space Shuttle: In this activity, which simulates the operations conducted in real space shuttle missions, each team member is assigned roles such as commander on the space shuttle Discovery, flight engineer in the Space Station modules, and flight director in the ground control center.

Each role requires varying degrees of responsibility and leadership. If a team member neglects a crucial responsibility or task, it could lead to the failure of the entire flight mission. Participants in the program learn the importance of sharing knowledge and achieving success as a team.

During our simulated space station missions, campers are assigned special positions (such as Commander on the Space Shuttle Discovery, Flight Director inside Mission Control, or Flight Engineer in our Space Station).

Each member of the team 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.

Testimonials

I’m really impressed with the organization at Space Camp Turkey. It’s one of the most organized camps that I’ve ever been to, and I travel quite a bit for my job. Even five years ago when I was here and now being back, everything is so well-organized. The camp counselors are extremely qualified, they’re very energetic and the staff is always really friendly and willing to help if there is a problem or if they can help to make the experience better for anyone…That’s also something that makes it such an incredible experience for the students and the teachers.

Space Camp Türkiye has exceeded our expectations. The facilities and staff are phenomenal. The staff were accommodating, caring and great role models for our students. The activities inspired our students and challenged them. They learnt to become more collaborative and critical thinkers. We were made to feel at home and it has been a privilege to be here. We cannot wait to come back.

LUBNA ABDUL-HADI JIAD & NORA NORRIS | Teachers | Swiss International Scientific School Dubai

Thank you so much for organizing what is being called at our school ‘the best trip ever’. Since our return to school the students have been so excited ad enthusiastic about the experience that our school will now put 2 Space Camp Türkiye trips a year permanently on our school calendar. One for the Primary School, and one for the Secondary School. Incorporating the trips to Ephesus and Izmir into the Space Camp experience has meant we can offer our students an excellent educational experience through Space Camp Türkiye and as an accompanying teacher on the Space Camp experience I cannot express enough how much of a wonderful educational and fun experience it has been for our students. Keep up the excellent work you are all doing and a big hi from the students of TISA.

IAN HUNT | Teacher | International School of Azerbaijan

This was the first time that JESS (Jumeirah English Speaking School) students had gone to Space camp and they all had a one of the best experiences. The students learnt a range of different skills and all staff were extremely helpful. I was impressed with the range of activities and all of the students were raving about the range of food available. This is a trip that JESS students will definitely do again and again.
