Execute Shuttle Topography Mission at Home
There’s a simulation (aka “game”) called Space Shuttle Mission 2007. It includes actual “stories” from those missions and “players” get to toggle switches and follow each mission at different levels of difficulty. The game is $49.95. (I’m not a gamer and this was all news to me!)
News today there’s a new set of free missions to download. One is based on the February 2000 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. Players “experience the launch, on-orbit mission including the deployment and operation of the special radar equipment, and return to Earth by manually landing the Endeavour at the Kennedy Space Center.”
It sounds geeky, but also pretty cool and educational.
