NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex: Astronaut Training Experience
The Astronaut Training Experience (ATX) at the Kennedy Space Center is your chance to train for liftoff. Using high-tech and hands-on activities, you can get a taste of what it's like to prepare for a mission to Mars.
There are two programs to enjoy, the Astronaut Training Experience and Mars Base 1. After you've learned the skills an astronaut needs, you'll “live” on Mars and perform base operations, real science experiments, and engineering tasks.
The experience is built around problem solving, communication, and collaboration. If you've ever wondered whether you've got what it takes to make it at NASA, now's your chance!
