Flight Facility provides an
educational and fun experience for
visitors of all ages. We offer
many unique programs, special
events, and educational
opportunities sure to capture the
interest and imagination of all who

and carry you to the present where
you will learn about our Sounding
Rockets Program, Scientific Balloon
Projects, Orbital Tracking Station
and much more.

children's programs, participate in
an exciting model rocket launch or
even view an actual sounding rocket
launch from the Visitor Center

Science
On
a Sphere
You won't need a spacecraft to have
an astronauts-eye-view of the
planets and moons in our solar
system at our new Science On a
Sphere Theatre.
Science On a Sphere creates stunning
visual effects from real scientific
data, and displays them on a
six-foot-diameter globe suspended
from the ceiling. The animated
sphere seems to float in space
- just as an astronaut would
see the Earth!
3D video projectors show the
audience clear, striking
images of our Earth, storms on
Jupiter, our moon Luna and MUCH more
to help visitors of all ages better
understand our world and our solar
system.
