Mission Schedule (Full activity times coming soon!)
Astronaut Briefing: Step into your role as a space explorer at our live Astronaut Briefing. Get insider knowledge, prep for training, and get ready for your interplanetary mission!
Astronaut Training: Do you have what it takes to be an astronaut? Take on hands-on challenges that test your agility, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. You’ll even feel what it’s like to walk or jump on the Moon!
Build Your Own Rover: Design and test your very own rover! Can it conquer sand dunes and rocky terrain? Experiment, adapt, and drive it across our Roverscape, inspired by the testing grounds at NASA Ames.
Rocket Launch: Build your own rocket and blast off at Chabot! Launch your creation sky-high as you prepare to explore a whole new world.
Habitat Building: You’ve landed on a new planet, now it’s time to build your home! Will you reinforce it against strong winds? Use alien materials to your advantage? Make it sturdy, safe, and stylish for life on another world.
Space to Relax: Ready for a break from the action? Join us for space themed story time throughout the day. This is a chance to unwind and recharge – perfect for families with young children.
