You may think you would like to travel in space but do you have the necessary skill to make a useful crew member?

The Starship Discovery is set for a 3 year voyage to Saturn and has a requirement for astronauts to pilot its EVA-Pods. These pods will undertake the repair work on the outside of Discovery during its space flight. This simulator tests your ability to pilot a pod and you are required to progress through 8 levels of difficulty before being passed fit.

Complete manoeuvrability can be achieved from the POD's engines with speed control available up to 9 thrust levels. And you are able to navigate your craft to docking with the help of full instrumentation control or a "head up display" which gives a window view of graphical information pertaining to your current flight situation.

See how fast you can pass from cadet to commander and make the journey many can only dream about.
