Splash Down

The Countdown to Launch is on for the Space Camp Skills Training Complex! With our first opening this summer and full mission completion ahead, we’re racing toward splashdown in summer 2027.

To reach the finish line, we must raise $2 million by then to fully open this transformative facility. Every contribution fuels the mission. Help us stay on course and splash down strong.

Quick Links

Aviation Challenge alum and private astronaut Jared Isaacman has pledged a total of $25 million to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center to help fund the project. Hear his remarks in this video and enjoy a tour of the complex under construction.

Donate to join our Star Registry

We’re counting down to lift-off, and you can be among the first to make history. Each star named helps us reach our mission goal of $2 million before we launch the Inspiration4 Skills Training Complex in 2026.

Follow the countdown live on our website and watch our Star Registry fill with new constellations. 

Each donation will receive their name on our website and on our donor wall inside the Inspiration4 Skills Training Complex. They will also receive invites to all building opening events.
