Shuttle Missions
I need to know more about the space camp (not sa or asa or asa for adults) shuttle missions. Do you choose your position? What orbiter do you use? how long is it? do you have to wear a flight suit?
Well its been along time since most of us went to space camp but the way ituse to work was at the beginningof the week yiu woud take a quiz on space knowledge and at the end they woud have you list your top 3 mission position choices generaly the higher you scored thebetter choice you got. You don't pick the posiytion you get exactly the deciiiision was left to th counselor. I believe the missions are 1 or 2 hours not sure exactly and i believe you now do 2 missions so you get a ground and space role. As for flight suits you never have to wear them in any program noone will make you. and they dont give campers one to use for the week except in asa. Don't know if camp kids wear the orange ones for launch and entry or not but i assume they do. I believe ths shuttle simulator that camp uses in Endeavour formerly known as intrepid. I cant guarantee anyof thgis is stillcorrect itepeaced together from my 15 year od experiances at camp and fromwhat i've read hear and on the space camp website. They should hgave more info on mission length on the space camp website. I'm pretty sure about the endeavour being used and still not getting the final say in mission positions. Camp is a great program for its age level though despite some big diffrences from the more advanced programs.

When I went to sc (again it was a while ago) we had to write a little paragraph saying why we wanted ____ position. And then the counselor picked from what she read.

Its been a couple of years since I went to space CAMP, so this might be incorrect, but I'll just give what I know
You write about why you are qualified for a certain position and your counselor picks it from there.
We used Endeavor....er, I think. The one closeset to the grey steps
We also used Discovery, but I'm not sure if that was a freak happening, because none of the other groups from our week did...
It was about an hour and a half long
We had to wear those orange-thingies.
hope I could help ^^
**oh, and our group got 3 missions. The others said they only got 2.**
