ORBITAL SPACEFLIGHT
PARTICIPANT TRAINING
This two-day foundational course provides future space travelers with the core knowledge and skills needed to become a safe, confident and capable orbital spaceflight participant.
An authentic spaceflight training experience
In addition to specific academic training for space, you will train and fly in the FAA APPROVED, STS-400 High Performance Human Centrifuge. The STS-400 with it’s very rapid acceleration and deceleration rates, has the ability to simulate any phase of space flight with accurate acceleration vectors, vibrations and WFOV visual displays.
Replicate different types of vehicle launches
The STS-400 can replicate several types of vehicle launches, specifically a vertical launch to orbit, a runway launch to orbit, or a drop launch from a mother ship. The STS-400 is the only multi-axis powered, human-rated centrifuge available for spaceflight training to the public.
COURSE DETAILS
All training flights are in the FAA-approved STS-400 high performance human centrifuge
