Waypoint 2 Space is located on the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) Campus in Houston, Texas, with a goal to provide the most complete and comprehensive training programs available for the Commercial Spaceflight Industry.

Level 1 classes are accepting enrollment and are scheduled to being in April 2014. At this time, we have limited enrollment with only 300 seats available.

To go into space, step out of the vehicle, and float above the Earth while reaching for the stars—but wondered if you have what it takes? For the first time in history, you can train like an astronaut using the most advanced facilities and equipment in the world.

Our training programs are hands on, as you are prepared, tested, and readied for the rigors of space. Each program will test your limits, maximize your teamwork skills, and build your problem solving abilities through real-time simulations. Through these programs, you will gain the tools necessary for spaceflight, making the most of a journey into space.
