CONTROL CENTER SATELLITE MISSION
ENGINE LAB & TEST CELLS PETER VOSBURY TURBINE
Driving Learning into Orbit The Satellite Mission Control Center guides students toward careers in space operations by providing hands-on experience with mission procedures, simulated launches, teamwork and leadership through advanced simulations and virtual reality environments. This facility supports preparation for high-stakes roles in space missions by giving students practical exposure to mission planning, spacecraft operations and decision making. The center features simulation equipment, a full video wall, two nanosatellites, operator console stations, a director station and a mission countdown clock — mirroring professional mission control settings. With access to these tools and scenarios, students build the confidence, technical skill and operational understanding needed to launch successful careers in aviation and aerospace operations.
Hands-On with Aviation Maintenance
The Peter Vosbury Turbine Engine Lab gives Aviation Maintenance Science students key experience with the necessary technical skills and knowledge required to succeed in industry. Working through lessons that cover the operation, inspection and overhaul of a turbine engine, students are prepared to create practical solutions for challenging situations. Home to two test cells, the Peter Vosbury Turbine Engine Lab is fully equipped and can accommodate small- to medium-sized aircraft engines (piston, turboprop, turboshaft and turbojet engines) and low-thrust rocket engines with up to 8,000 pounds of thrust. With the test cells, students measure engine parameters and the fuel system for functioning J-34 turbojet engines and J-34 turbojet engines.
