SPACE TEAMS PROGRAMS

Space Teams is a VR-capable program developed and run by Texas A&M University’s ASTRO Lab that is used to learn about space exploration, collaborate in the design of actual space systems, and compete to successfully accomplish the objectives of a space mission.

Space Teams uses a high-fidelity space engineering simulation platform called SpaceCRAFT, which enables students to create their own spacecraft, habitats, rovers and other systems in order to accomplish a specific mission or design challenge. SpaceCRAFT provides a precise virtual reality version of the entire solar system, including all the planets and moons, accurate physics, environmental models, and all the tools needed to build a mission.
