propellants win ignite in a combustion chamber, launching a miniature Space Shuttle up a 20-foot rail to the Visitors Center ceiling.
Another addition to the Visitors Center is Spacc Believe, an interactive science learning center designed to stimulate interest in science and mathematics in children ages 7 through 12. Numerous new exhibits in the works are sure to awe and inspire young minds.
A new and exciting hands-on exhibit planned is a Learjet. This is an actual plane that will be on display where visitors can comb aboard and learn about remote sensing. Remote Sensing uses sensors that are either ground-based or mounted on aircraft and spacecraft to look at the Earth. Pictures or imagery acquired from these systems may be referenced to a coordinate system to produce current maps. Stennis personnel work with private industry to use this technology to improve the growth and harvesting of crops, to improve efforts to assess the environmental impact of oil and chemical spills, to protect the environment and to manage the Earth’s natural resources.
