With the Space Shuttle's retirement, NASA turns to America's next generation spacecraft (the Constellation Program's "Orion") as the vehicle for ferrying crew and supplies to the International Space Station. Now it's your visitor's turn to be at the controls of the Orion! Using the joystick to fire its reaction control thrusters, guide it smoothly through the final 100 feet and successfully rendezvous with the International Space Station!
Invite your guests to try their hand aboard a simulator with "Guiding Orion", one of Binary Star's family of attractions designed for exhibit in museums and other commercial venues. With spectacular views of the Earth and the Space Station from 220 miles high, your guests will experience a unique and exciting moment as they bring the two great spacecraft together.
