Multi-Axis Space Test Inertia Facility (MASTIF)

 

Tumbling Space Craft Training
By Robert

The simulator I rode was the MASTIF. The MASTIF is the Multi-Axis Space Test Inertia Facility. This simulator shows what it would be like if your spacecraft started to tumble. It made me dizzy at first and then I started to like it. This simulator consists of three metal rings spinning around a chair that you sit in. This simulator was fun. You should come to space camp and try it. There are many other simulators to try at space camp. Some of them you can read about on this page.
