You've seen the Cosmosphere's program for kids (the Future Astronaut Training Program) and senior citizens (the Elderhostel Astronaut Training Program). Now it's your turn. Try your hand at astronaut training in the Adult Astronaut Adventure for people ages 18 and older.

The two-day training experience will include briefings by the Cosmosphere's education staff, a behind-the-scenes tour of the Hall of Space Museum and exciting training on the Cosmosphere's state-of-the-art simulators. Participants will perform stress tests in the Centrifuge, the Cosmosphere's g-force trainer and fly the T-38 Advanced Flight Simulator. You will direct a lunar rover mission much like the Mars Spirit and work in teams on the Robotic Challenge. The experience will culminate with a space shuttle mission aboard the Cosmosphere's motion-based shuttle simulator, the Falcon.

The registration fee for Adult Astronaut Adventure is $275. The fee includes all briefings and simulation training, a Cosmosphere polo shirt, NASA educational materials, Cosmosphere Food Court vouchers for lunches and/or snacks and the Friday evening dinner. For registrants needing two nights lodging, we offer packages for $400 that include the Adult Astronaut Adventure and two nights in a local hotel.
