return to camelot
|
In 2004, the President established the national Vision for
Space Exploration, to extend human presence across the solar
system. The first step is a return to the moon, perhaps as
early as 2018. "Return to Camelot" puts you at the controls
of the new lunar landing craft, known as Artemis. Your
mission is to make a precision landing near the Camelot
crater in the Taurus-Littrow valley, the site of the last
Apollo lunar mission in 1972. Designed for commercial or
other high-throughput venues, "Return to Camelot" offers an
engaging, exhilarating experience that demonstrates some of
the challenges of landing on another world!

that's the spirit
|
|
Exploration has been proceeding well at Shepard Base, an
outpost in the Marineris Valley on Mars. But a large dust
storm has developed and is about to blow through the
encampment. Remote data gathering craft have been called
back to base but a small rover called Spirit is missing and
believed lost in a nearby boulder field. The storm may last
for days by which time Spirit and its valuable science data
may be unrecoverable. To find it before the storm hits is a
task for the best jetpack pilots on the base! Take control
of a futuristic jetpack and join your “wingmen” as the team
ventures out to locate Spirit and capture its location. Work
quickly, though, because the storm is racing up the valley
behind you!

guiding orion |
|
With the Space Shuttle's retirement, NASA turns to America's
next generation spacecraft (the Constellation Program's
"Orion") as the vehicle for ferrying crew and supplies to
the International Space Station. Now it's your visitor's
turn to be at the controls of the Orion! Using the joystick
to fire its reaction control thrusters, guide it smoothly
through the final 100 feet and successfully rendezvous with
the International Space Station! Invite your guests to try
their hand aboard a simulator with "Guiding Orion", one of
Binary Star's family of attractions designed for exhibit in
museums and other commercial venues. With spectacular views
of the Earth and the Space Station from 220 miles high, your
guests will experience a unique and exciting moment as they
bring the two great spacecraft together.

Docking with Destiny |
|
Safely guiding the quarter-million-pound Space Shuttle to a
gentle docking with the giant International Space Station is
a job that demands skill and precision. Invite your guests
to try their hand aboard a simulator with Docking with
Destiny, one of Binary Star's family of attractions designed
for exhibit in museums & other commercial venues. With
spectacular views of the Earth and the Space Station from
220 miles high, your guests will experience a unique and
exciting moment as they bring the two great spacecraft
together. |

a call to rms |
|
The Remote Manipulator System (RMS) is a versatile robotic
arm that supports both construction and operations aboard
the International Space Station. Now your museum & science
center guests can try it for themselves with A Call to RMS!
A view of the slowly-spinning Earth provides a spectacular
backdrop for this exercise in grappling a set of free-flying
satellites from inside the Space Station's cupola. Each
grapple is a little more challenging than the last, allowing
the operator to gain experience and confidence as the
simulation progresses. |

hubble grapple |
|
After a carefully executed series of rendezvous maneuvers,
the Shuttle Orbiter is parked near the gleaming Hubble Space
Telescope. You are at the controls of the Shuttle's robot
arm, ready to grapple the telescope and park it in the
Shuttle's cargo bay for servicing. The mission's success
depends on your skill and steady hands...good luck! |

Invite your guests to settle into a Maneuvering Unit
"jetpack" and experience the heart-pounding thrill and
breathtaking views of Capture the Hubble! Intended for
commercial of other high-throughput venues, this fun and
unique attraction challenges your guests to imagine
themselves 300 miles above Earth, where the Hubble Space
Telescope awaits its servicing mission. The goal: to grapple
the Hubble and return it to the Space Shuttle's cargo bay
before time, sunlight and jetpack fuel run out! |

gemini: dawn of rendezvous |
|
Learning to rendezvous and dock two spacecraft in orbit was
critical to the success of the Apollo moon missions. NASA’s
manned Gemini program was designed to develop that skill,
using an unmanned Agena upper stage as a target vehicle.
Your guests can re-create this moment in history with
Gemini: Dawn of Rendezvous, one of Binary Star's family of
attractions designed for exhibit in museums and other
commercial venues. With spectacular views of the Earth and
the gleaming Agena from 220 miles high, your guests will
experience a unique and exciting moment as they bring the
two pioneering spacecraft together. |
