Mission: SPACE
Mission: SPACE is in World Discovery at EPCOT. In this simulator you head off on a mission as an astronaut, in a team of four. You choose how intense it gets: on the Orange Mission you fly to Mars, while on the Green Mission you orbit the Earth.
The concept
Before you set off, you train at the International Space Training Center for the X-2 Deep Space Shuttle. Everyone in your team is given a role: navigator, pilot, commander or engineer. During the flight you have to carry out an important task at just the right moment, because your team is counting on you.
The Experience
The Orange Mission uses a centrifuge that spins and tilts, so you feel the forces of a launch and a re-entry. You dodge meteorites and skim past the moon. The Green Mission is a motion simulator that doesn't spin. You feel gentle movements and see the Earth below you.

Choose your mission
Not sure, or do you get travel sick easily? Then go for the Green Mission. It doesn't spin and is much gentler.
Keep playing afterwards
Next to the exit is the Advanced Training Lab, with space games and a play area for young children.
Lightning Lane
This attraction is part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which lets you choose a time slot in advance and skip the regular queue. You buy passes in the My Disney Experience app; according to Disney, visitors from Europe can only do this after arriving in the US.
Visitor information
For the Green Mission you need to be at least 1.02 metres (40 inches) tall, and for the Orange Mission 1.12 metres (44 inches). Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. Pregnant women cannot ride either mission. For the Orange Mission you should be in good health and not suffer from motion sickness. If you dislike small, dark spaces or simulators, it's best to skip both.
Astronaut for a moment
Mission: SPACE is great fun for anyone who loves space travel. With two missions, the whole family can join in, including those who prefer to take it easy.
