AGI Space Missions Simulator Courses
AGI Space Missions Simulator courses teach science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) principles and other subject areas in a format that appeals to the high-touch, fast-paced video game generation. Offering students the opportunity to use the same state-of-the-art modeling and visualization software used by space industry professionals, the AGI Space Missions Simulator laboratory features equipment and software donated by Space Foundation Corporate Member Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI).
Custom-Designed Classes
The standards-based courses, which are taught by accredited Space Foundation instructors, are custom-designed to support classroom curriculum. Among the many hands-on exercises that may be incorporated are:
- Creating 3-D mission scenarios for a variety of spacecraft
- Determining when the International Space Station will pass overhead
- Understanding the principles behind the GPS system
- Learning about ellipses through manipulation of satellite orbits
Missions can be run that support any part of school curriculum, including science, technology, math, language arts, physical education and social studies or we can custom-design a mission for you and your students.
The Space Foundation education team works with teachers before and after each session to ensure that the course supports learning objectives in the classroom.
