Astronaut Training Experience (ATX)

Astronaut Training Experience and General Admission
This intense, exciting half-day of  hands-on training is the closest most people ever get to going into orbit. Your ATX training includes operating a full-scale shuttle mock-up and taking the  helm in mission control. The entire program was designed with the help of NASA  astronauts, so you know it’s as real as it gets!
   
ATX programs are held at the United  States Astronaut Hall of Fame six miles west of the Visitors Complex.

Due to the special nature of the  ATX program, space is limited. Advance reservations are recommended either online or through Reservations at 866.737.5235. Limited space available.
