The Christa McAuliffe Space Center's New EdVenture App and Other Things

By James Porter
Director

We are excited to announce our NEW free EdVenture AppNEW laser shows, and many memorable space camp opportunities available this school year.

EdVenture App
You now have the ability to track which of our simulator missions you have completed aboard our starships.  Any officer logs and achievements from your explorations in space are also logged on our newly developed app.  This is the first stage in development as we work to enable crews to connect more fully with your experiences with us as well as other educational adventures.

Links to install the app and additional details can be found at https://spacecenter.alpineschools.org/edventure

John Williams: A Legacy in Laser
Our newest laser show opened this summer and we are excited to welcome more guests to enjoy music from some of your favorite movies. Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jaws, Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park are a few of the titles we have chosen to match with the stunning effects of our laser light equipment.  Come see this family friendly experience and embrace the nostalgia as you share this unique experience together.


A special Halloween themed laser show is soon to be announced with limited showings at the end of the month.  Follow us on Facebook or Instagram for more details.

Space Camps
We are now offering limited Day Camps on several Saturdays throughout the school year.  These 9 hour long experiences can be signed up for as individuals or with friends.  Join us for challenges that will have participants ages 10-14 thinking critically, solving problems, and working together to face epic trials full of fun filled characters.


October Fright Flights are also available as specialty camps where you can reserve one of our specific simulators and missions that have a scarier theme.

Thank you for your patronage
A question we often get asked is how our program has grown so much over the years.  We are able to do so because of patrons like you who continue to come and enjoy what we have to offer.  The revenue generated from birthday parties, camps, planetarium shows, and all the different activities we offer keep our program going. Those funds help support our field trips, volunteer activities, and content creation.

It takes a lot to create all of the different missions, software, and shows.  Your participation directly sustains the growth of our program and expands what we can offer.  Thank you, from all of us here at the Space Center, for your ongoing support.  The vast majority of our visitors come because someone else recommended our hidden space gem to them. 



Progress Continues on the Two New Starships and New Starbase at the Lion's Gate Space Center at Lakeview Academy at Saratoga Springs




By the Lion's Gate Staff

Progress is underway on the new ships! A lots happened in the past months. Too much to share in a single post, but I’ll try my best!
What once was a lawn is now flattened and filled with new structures! While construction on the ships themselves hasn’t started yet, the areas around them have. Walls are going up, and support beams for the expanded Lion’s Gate are starting to be placed! The most exciting update so far is the stairs visible in the last photo!
As you may know, the new station simulator will be on the second floor, and the newly installed stairs will lead to the new sim!
It’s amazing watching the future of the Lions Gate Space Center forming right before our eyes!


It is That Time of Year Again.......

Ensign Bradik sat alone by the ship’s engine core. The words of the ancient writer Arthur C. Clark echoed in her mind.

Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
Tightly Gripping the spanner, while hearing distant footfalls, she now knew the answer, too late for some of her crew.
