Train to be a Spaceman! The Astronaut Training programme at Kennedy Space Center gives you the closest possible experience to training for a space flight. This amazing full day experience is a must for all space enthusiasts!

• Astronaut training
• Buffet lunch
• Behind the scenes tour
• ATX T-shirt, cap, certificate and commemorative photo

The day commences with a mission briefing, where you'll meet your other crew members and prepare for the Simulated Space Mission.  You will be briefed by an actual NASA astronaut before participating in space orientation on the Zero-G Wall, 1/6th Gravity Chair and Multi-Axis Trainer!

The opportunity to operate a full-scale Shuttle mock-up and take the helm in Mission Control is next on the agenda.  Together you will go into Earth orbit and rendezvous with the International Space Station to perform critical repairs and drop off needed supplies.  From start to finish, it’s a realistic look at what Astronauts and Mission Control achieve together every time NASA launches a mission.

After a buffet lunch you will be taken on an exclusive behind the scenes tour into the heart of the facility, including the International Space Station Center and the Space Shuttle Launch pads.
