Throwback Space Camp Photos

Space Camp looked a lot different in the mid-80s; the former training center used to be under a large dome where the Habs are now located.  This still from “Space Camp” the movie shows how tightly the simulators were packed underneath the dome of the former training center.  After Space Camp relocated to the building attached to the museum, the dome was repurposed for Aviation Challenge.

Do you have any photos of Space Camp during the 1980’s that you would like to share at an upcoming AlumniFest?  The Alumni Advancement Board would like to show pictures from your experience to the attendees.  If you would like to share yours, please email them to [email protected].
