All rights reserved. Construction of Intrepid, a mock-up of the flight deck and middle deck sections of a space shuttle orbiter, is under way at the U.S. Space Camp Training Center. A typical business program combines astronaut training with classroom sessions designed for the client's goals and objectives.
Every business has a different approach in reaching their employees.
The two consistencies are the astronaut training and a heavy emphasis on teamwork. Intrepid is named in honor of a line of ships that includes a Navy aircraft carrier credited with the recovery of some of the early astronauts following ocean splashdowns. The name was also chosen for the Apollo 12 lunar excursion module that transported astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean to the surface of the moon. Guard Lee, a model builder with headquarters in Apopka, Fla., built Intrepid. It arrived in Huntsville on flatbed trucks, where Lee and Space Camp technicians put it together.
