A Human Performance Accelerator Lab Family Experience
Join us at Space Center Houston for a day of hands-on learning and incredible access to Johnson Space Center. Our mission goals include training activities to simulate reduced gravity on the moon and building a solution for the on-going challenge of how lunar regolith impacts equipment. To successfully complete the mission, you’ll have to work as a team, communicate, and think innovatively, just like NASA and the Artemis II Crew.
