Space Center Houston launches Mission: Sketch, presented by the University of Texas Medical Branch Health (UTMB). The newly designed exhibit space, formerly known as Kids Space Place, blends a focus of scientific curiosity, technological innovation, human aspiration, and creativity.
Engage through a five-step journey that allows you to select, design, scan, launch, and track your very own spacecraft, choosing one of four missions to the Moon, Mars, Europa, or Titan moon.
Track and watch as your spacecraft comes to life. Once your spacecraft blasts off, the room ignites with immersive 4D effects — a realistic physical model of rocket engines glow, the floor rumbles, and you will experience the thrill of the launch that is seen across multiple screens, including a 26-foot-wide control screen—and take home your custom design!
👨🚀 Your journey includes:
1️⃣ Choose your mission
2️⃣ Design your spacecraft
3️⃣ 3-D scan and digitize it
4️⃣ Launch your virtual spacecraft
5️⃣ Track it as it completes its mission
Mission: Sketch, presented by UTMB Health, was created by the Space Center Houston team, including Chief Experience Officer Jeffrey Wyatt, NASA Astronaut and Chief Science Officer Megan McArthur, and Manager of Science Research Andrea Ortiz.
