TULSA, Okla. -
The Tulsa Air and Space Museum will soon be getting a training simulator that was used by NASA to get astronauts ready for shuttle missions.
It s called a Crew Compartment trainer, and it s an exact replica of the front end of a NASA space shuttle used by every astronaut that went through the shuttle program. There s only two in existence, so it s pretty special in the fact that it s one of two, said Executive Director Tonya Blansett.
Blansett says bringing the piece of history to Tulsa will make a huge impact on the next generation of astronauts.
