“A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! Something for everyone ages 3 to 103. We’ve had great success with school groups, birthday parties and special events. Patrons leave with a smile …and usually several paper aircraft.”
“SUCH A HIT! Kids and adults spent hours building, launching, and refining their rockets & airplanes. These open-ended stations fit in extremely well with our mission.”
Fly to New Heights!
Launch rockets to Saturn, planes to Sydney, and your visitors toward a career at NASA as they explore the history of flight, navigation, and NASA’s vision for the future.
SLIDESHOW

Mission Aerospace

Maker Tables
Build and perfect air and spacecraft through testing, flying and experimentation.

Paper Rockets
It really is rocket science!

Test the aerodynamics of different rocket fins.

Rocket Launcher
See if you can launch your rocket…

… to Mars, Jupiter, or the edge of our solar system.

Paper Airplanes
Find out what parts of a plane contribute to lift, drag, and stability.

Experiment with angles and ailerons to optimize paper airplane flight.
