Alpha Centauri Expeditions

Alpha Centauri Expeditions, or ACE, is an eco tour group from Earth and the exclusive provider for tours to Pandora.https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2016/11/pandora-the-world-of-avatar-set-to-open-summer2017/https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2017/02/visitpandora-com-your-portal-to-pandora-the-world-of-avatar/ With humans being welcomed back to Pandora after the end of the Pandoran War, they provide transport for civilians to the moon. The founder of ACE, Marshall Lamm, played an instrumental role in the creation of a strong Na'vi-human partnership that allowed ACE to start providing travel from Earth to Pandora.
== Operations on Pandora ==
ACE's operations in the Valley of Mo'ara are allowed through the Mo'ara Cooperation Pact, signed by ACE and leaders of the Omatikaya clan & the Na'vi people of Pandora. This pact gives ACE long-term use of the Valley of Mo'ara for their operations.Pandora: The World of Avatar, Sat'uli Canteen letters ACE owns and operates Pandora businesses including the Satu'li Canteen and Windtraders, both re-purposing old RDA buildings.https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/animal-kingdom/satuli-canteen/https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/shops/animal-kingdom/windtraders/ ACE also provides much of the infrastructure in the Valley of Mo'ara, including pathways, bridges, safety railings, lights, fans, and informational & safety signs.http://blogmickey.com/2017/03/official-backstories-shops-eateries-attractions-around-pandora-world-avatar/ ACE also has a partnership with the Pandora Conservation Initiative, a habitat conservation focused group that studies and helps protect the natural world of Pandora. Marshall Lamm serves on the PCI's board of directors and some PCI members also work for ACE. A specialized subset of the PCI has taken over the Avatar Program, refining and advancing the technology that allows tourists to link to an avatar without a link unit. ACE uses the Avatar Program technology to let thrill-seeking visitors fly on a mountain banshee on a link chair, in an experience similar to the Iknimaya rite of passage.
