Space Shuttle Full Fuselage Trainer Virtual Tour
Students learn what it was like for a Space Shuttle astronaut to travel to and live in space. We use 360° high-resolution scans to provide a personalized and up-close exploration of the flight deck (cockpit) and the mid-deck (crew living and working areas), while an educator provides in-depth information and stories about what students are seeing.
- Recommended for Kindergarten-12th Grade

Can I register for all three program options?
Yes! You can register for one, two or all three of the options.
What time zone is my reservation time? Pacific Time or Alaska Time?
All reservations are made in Pacific Time. For example: if you book a 9:30AM time-slot, your program will occur at 9:30AM Pacific Time or 8:30AM Alaska Time.
Does the teacher/group leader need to remain present during the program?
A minimum of one chaperone must remain online for the duration of the program. Chaperone can be a teacher or other school/district/organization staff member. Monitoring of students’ behavior is the chaperone’s responsibility. If the class is joining on one account, the chaperone may be asked to be on standby near the computer to repeat students' questions and answers to Museum Staff.
What platform is used to access/participate in this program?
All live programming at The Museum of Flight is delivered via Zoom—please let us know during registration if an alternative platform is required.
How soon do I need to make a reservation?
Programs must be requested at least 2 weeks prior to the date(s) you would like to book, but sooner is better.
When will I receive my program Zoom link?
You will receive your program link one week prior to your program date.
