Train like an astronaut, fly like a fighter pilot or engineer robots of the future. Space Camp®

Space Camp® was founded in 1982 as the U.S. Space & Rocket Center® museum’s education program to promote the study of math, science, and technology. Trainees experience astronaut simulators, take command of a mission to the International Space Station and develop leadership and teamwork skills

Trainees at Aviation Challenge® camp are put to the test as they fly high performance jet simulators, hone their land and water survival skills, and practice leadership skills

Space Camp Robotics trainees experience air, land and sea based robots during their week at camp. Teams navigate the water using the Office of Naval Research SeaPerch robotics program, fly unmanned aircraft in our simulators and engineer robots to compete in a space challenge

Launched in 1982, Space Camp has inspired and motivated young people. Space Camp is the brainchild of rocket scientist Dr. Wernher von Braun, who led the development of the Apollo-era rockets that took America to the moon, and Mr. Edward O. Buckbee, the first director of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.

Space Camp alumni include NASA and ESA astronauts, engineers, scientists and technologists.

The birthplace of NASA’s rockets lies in the land of cotton, hundreds of miles from Cape Canaveral’s launch pads. From the first U.S. satellites and astronauts, to the Apollo moon shots, to the space shuttles and now NASA’s still-in-development Space Launch System, rocket history inundates Huntsville, Alabama.

Huntsville, nicknamed Rocket City, won out over all others.

Miss Baker was a squirrel monkey, one of two monkeys who would become the first animals to be launched into space by the United States and be recovered alive.

Miss Baker preceded Mercury astronauts into space in 1959, is buried at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Space Campers sometimes leave bananas at her tombstone.
