The AAV Atlas
From Nathan King's Facebook Post
It has been a moment since we last posted, but that is because we have been hard at work getting our new simulator, the AAV Atlas, up and running for groups to book! The Atlas will take 4-9 people and runs 2.5- and 4.5-hour missions. To celebrate the opening of this new ship we are offering the code: SUMMERFUN for 10% off a booking on any appointment type! You can use this code at: https://www.discoveryspacecenter.com/group-missions
We look forward to flying with you!

Congratulations, Telos, on the Atlas! I'm assuming this is the 2nd ship at Telos: the Hyperion, and now the Atlas? If so, I'm guessing it is located in the room right next to the Hyperion, the old Hyperion Briefing Room.
Starship Simulations and Simulators is Catching On - Mobile Space Adventures in Texas with On the Spot, Real Time, Data Analysis.
We bring a full starship bridge simulator right to your school or business — and hand your crew command of a high-stakes mission. Our system observes how the crew communicates, decides, and works together — and turns it into a report you can actually use.
What we value:
Learning — every game can be a lesson.
Leadership — everyone gets a chance to lead.
Evidence — not a survey.
Privacy — everything runs locally, anonymized.We're the measurement layer leadership has been missing.
Follow along — more missions are launching soon.
WHAT ONE MISSION REVEALS
A starship bridge simulator arrives at your school. Six students walk in. They take crew positions: Captain, Helm, Science, Engineering, Communications, and Operations.For 30 to 90 minutes, they run a mission while the Mission Analysis System listens to every command, every hesitation, every moment one student steps up or another goes quiet.The next day, you get a crew performance report."Marcus made decisions 40% faster than his peers under pressure, but rarely asked for input before acting. He leads, but he does not listen."That is not a guess. That is behavioral data aligned to NASA teamwork competencies and Leader in Me frameworks. Now you know what to work on with Marcus.
HOW IT WORKS
Three days. No buses. Data on every measured student.
We Come to Your Campus
A trailer arrives the day before. Setup takes 45 minutes the morning of. No buses, no field trip permission slips, no lost instructional days. We work around STAAR windows, bell schedules, and campus events.
Students Run Real Missions:
Students Run Real Missions:
Six per crew. 30 to 90-minute mission with a structured pre-brief. Each station has a defined role. The scenario adapts to crew decisions. The Mission Analysis System transcribes every voice exchange and tags behavior in real time against NASA, TEKS, and Leader in Me frameworks.
Individual student competency profiles. Class-wide patterns for teachers. Aggregate cohort data for principals. Standards-aligned documentation for grant reporting and CCMR submissions. Plain language. No jargon grids.
Two Reports, Within 24 Hours:
Teacher Cohort Report (For Classroom Teachers)
Six behavior metrics, a full crew leaderboard, and all 20 TEKS standards scored by evidence level — the map for classroom follow-on. Class-wide performance patterns and individual breakdowns, built for instructional planning meetings and Texas TIA portfolio documentation.Principal's Brief (For Administrators and Boards)
Four headline numbers, TEKS coverage by subject, and named coaching targets — the case for funding justification and board reporting. Sole source justification language available for Title IV Part A and Perkins V procurement.FERPA and COPPA compliant. All data processing occurs locally on equipment inside the school building. No student data leaves your campus.

Here is the link to their website. There is a good video on the website that explains their AI and how it tracks all the crew's moves and decisions, calling them out during the mission with live data tracking.
