Moon Lander
$10,000 (Small Facility Price: $5,000)
*Volume pricing also applies
Moon Lander
Fly a lander to experience the Moon’s surface and better understand its physics. Carry out various objectives while balancing gravity, thrust, and fuel consumption.
User Experience
Moon Lander has three available difficulty modes: Easy, Normal, and NASA. Each mode is progressively harder and adds additional realism to the challenge of navigating the lunar surface.
Easy: This mode is intended for very young or novice guests; mechanics are kept extremely simple. The lander automatically orients upward and side thrusters only impart lateral velocity. The lander has boosted durability thereby increasing the number of collisions before exploding.
Normal: This mode introduces rotational velocity. Side thrusters now rotate the lander but the rotational velocity reduces over time. In effect, this requires visitors to orient the ship towards the intended landing zone using side thrusters and add lateral velocity via the vertical thruster. To land safely, visitors must counter rotate the lander and add thrust to negate lateral velocity.
NASA: This mode has even more realistic mechanics. Rotational velocity will continue until countered by an opposite thrust.
User Interaction​
Buttons are used to control vertical and side thrusters.
Vertical Thrusters
​
-
Left: Gives a strong thrust and moves the lander quickly but uses more fuel.
-
Right: Gives a weak thrust and moves the lander slowly but conserves fuel.
​
Side Thrusters
​
-
Left: Rotates the top of the lander to the left.
-
Right: Rotates the top of the lander to the right.
​​​​
Educational Points
Learn about inertia and gravity.
​
-
Inertia: When thrust is applied, the lander will continue to move in that direction until countered by opposite thrust.
​ -
Gravity: The surface gravity on the Moon is only about 16% of the surface gravity on Earth.

Stellar Playground
$10,000 (Small Facility Price: $5,000)
*Volume pricing also applies
Experience and explore stellar life cycles, gravitational and orbital mechanics, and the advancement of civilizations by dragging and dropping stars and other exotic celestial objects. Through exploration and play, visitors can combine and create massive stars and observe the process of stellar evolution by creating white dwarfs, neutron stars, and even black holes. The collaborative touchscreen supports 80 simultaneous touches, encouraging group interactions.
User Experience​
Stellar Playground simulates the gravitational pull of objects on each other and themselves. Each celestial body is a gravity simulated object moving about the game view.
Palettes allow users to drop in one of four generic bodies.
-
1 solar mass star (the Sun)
-
0.1 solar mass star (Red Dwarf)
-
100 Earth mass Gas Giant
-
1 Earth mass Planet
​
Exploration and play occur as users not only drop generic bodies into the game, but also as those bodies orbit, collide, combine, and age.
Additional body types can be generated by:
​
Combining multiple bodies to produce:
-
White Stars
-
Blue stars
-
Giants
-
Super Giants
-
Mega Giants
​
Allowing bodies to age and die in various solar mass dependent scenarios producing:
-
White Dwarfs
-
Pulsars
-
Magnetars
-
Black holes
User Interaction​
Visitors interact by touching the screen to drag and drop celestial bodies from the palettes located at each corner of the screen. They can also manipulate bodies in the open field. Since the Ideum Multitouch table supports up to 80 simultaneous touches, it allows many users working together (or in opposition) to create a more immersive experience.
Picking up a celestial body by touching it allows visitors to place it anywhere on the screen. It also allows users to select two additional modifiers for the body.
​
-
Lock: Locks celestial body into its position and ignores all gravity sources.
-
Orbit: Sets the initial velocity to orbit the nearest larger mass star.
-
Lock + Orbit: Celestial body enters orbit and ignores other gravity sources.
Dropping a celestial body by releasing touch will drop the body into the simulation. If the visitor is sliding their finger while releasing, the motion will contribute to the body’s initial velocity.
Educational Points
-
Gravity, Inertia, and Orbits: Simulated gravity lets visitors observe that stars both pull and are pulled on by other stars. Orbital dynamics of all bodies added to the open field are instantly observable.
-
Stellar Evolution: Larger mass stars burn hotter and faster, contributing to both their color and lifespan. Visitors can observe the color, temperature and lifespan of the star in real time, including changes as objects combine and change.
-
Stellar Birth and Death events: Visitors can create different stellar situations and observe the various death events of stars, such as planetary nebula from low-mass stars or supernovae from more massive stars. These events can produce new bodies – white dwarfs, pulsars, and black holes. Planetary nebula can also condense, forming new protostars and planets.
-
Planet habitability: Planets placed at a certain distance from a star are in the habitable zone where the planet can support liquid water. This distance is contingent upon mass. If the planet stays in this zone for enough time, simple life can develop. Over time, simple life becomes complex life, possibly generating a farming, industrial, nuclear and finally space age civilization where it will spawn space ships to colonize the universe!

This multi-user experience lets visitors become gravity sources, affecting stars that will now orbit them. As they move around the floor space, they can create gravity waves by coming together with other visitors.
User Experience​
This floor projected grid allows visitors to be gravity sources, distort the grid, and affect star trajectory paths! They can even create gravity waves via collision.
User Interaction​

Educational Points
Solar Flare Wall works in tandem with our Aurora Wall. When the Sun’s activity is high, there are large eruptions called solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These high-energy particles and radiation get released into space and travel throughout the solar system and are what causes auroras. When the eruptions collide with Earth on the Solar Flare Wall, it increases the auroral intensity on the Aurora Wall exhibit.
