Hubble Rescue

“Hubble Team, Houston…you have a GO for the capture!” announces Mission Control as you settle into the Maneuvering Unit “jetpack”. Nearby, 300 miles above Earth, the Hubble Space Telescope awaits its servicing mission. The goal: to grapple the Hubble and return it to the Shuttle’s cargo bay before time, sunlight and jetpack fuel run out!

Two guests can take the controls of a jetpack and experience the heart-pounding thrill and breathtaking views with high-resolution, photo-realistic graphics, detailed 3D models of the Hubble Telescope and Space Shuttle orbiter, and high-fidelity flight characteristics.  Guest astronauts try their skills in time management, visual acuity and navigation in this unique experience that is both fun and challenging!
