Our Last Night...

Missions complete, dinner eaten and we are now playing Space Bowl.  All we have left to do is camp evaluations, pack and go to bed. Tomorrow will come bright and early with graduation in the Davidson Center at 9am.

 Here are some pictures from our afternoon of learning...

Last FULL Day

All accounted for and ready to go for our last FULL day at Space Camp...crew members will be completing the Andromeda (Orion) Mission, the Endeavour Nission, MAT, MMU and the 5 DF (degrees of freedom) chair.  It will be a jam packed day followed by Space Bowl tonight.

Reminder Graduation is at 9 am (central time) in Huntsville.  Graduation for Space Camp will be in the Saturn V Hall (upstairs) in the Davidson Center.  You can either come in where it says Space Camp, under the red bars, and walk OR you can drive down to the Davidson Center at the end of the drive (see map). Either way you will have receive a family sticker and can stay and visit the park for the day.  This will give your child an opportunity to share with you some of their exciting week!

After graduation ALL PG students are released to me for you to pick up. I will do my best to locate each one of you prior to it beginning so I can check you off as being there. After you take your child you then need to go to the Astrotek building and pick up their luggage to be placed in your vehicle. If your child takes medication they should already have picked it up, please ask them to make sure they have. If they haven't they will need to go to Sick Bay to pick it up.

Safe travels to Huntsville and see you in the morning for a GREAT conclusion to an AWESOME week!!

Busy....FREEZING Day...

What a day...MMU (Man Maneuver Unit), MAT (Multi-Axis Trainer), Rocket Launch, Hidden Universe IMAX along with Mission trainings, and it isn't over yet!!  We still have dinner, Strange Science and their Mars 2050 Presentations they have been working on! It is hard to believe we have one more full day of fun before graduation on Friday (@ 9 am).  I will post all of the graduation info after the chaperone meeting at 9 am in the morning.
