| After completing your astronaut training during FATP Level 1, join us for a new mission in Level 2. With the great things that made Level 1 so much fun - plus the addition of scuba training, new simulations and experiences, and an extended and more demanding mission - Level 2 is the next great adventure for future astronauts. While the highlight of the week will be a new space shuttle mission onboard the Falcon, the elements of spacewalking will receive extra attention. Level 2 campers, in preparation for their shuttle mission to the International Space Station, will undergo a full day of SCUBA training and underwater EVA exercises with certified dive instructors. In teams, future astronauts will learn first-hand the difficulties of working in a "weightless" environment as they assemble components critical to the ongoing construction of the ISS. |  |

| Featuring:
An advanced mission onboard the Falcon, including challenging rendezvous and docking maneuvers with the ISS. New cutting-edge software technology powers a Falcon mission so realistic, you'll have a hard time convincing yourself you're actually not in orbit.
- A full day of scuba training and underwater EVA exercises with certified dive instructors as your team prepares for critical spacewalks to support your ISS mission.
- Demanding flight training with timed air trials in the Advanced Flight Simulator
- Advanced rotations in the centrifuge, monitoring physiological changes to blood pressure and heart rate while working on a set of problems in a high "g" environment.
- Large rocket construction and launch
- Training inside an actual Soyuz simulator that was used by American astronauts to prepare them for their missions to Mir and the ISS.
