The Pacific Science Center, in collaboration and with support from the Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium, proposes a three-year program to develop and test a model for delivering mid-scale, astronomy and space-themed exhibits and programming in a shopping center environment, especially in rural locations.The program targets an audience that does not have easy access to a science center or that may not be inclined to take advantage of such a facility. The exhibits and curriculum for this project will be based on Pacific Science Center's well-tested Space Odyssey Van Program, which presently tours elementary schools in Washington State. Phase One of the project will be a test delivery of the existing exhibits and programming to two malls. Phase Two involves construction and testing of the final, larger exhibits and reworking existing programming to better fit a mall delivery environment. Phase Three takes the newly tested devices to ten malls in suburban and rural Washington.

太平洋科学中心在华盛顿NASA太空赠款联盟的支持下，提出了一项为期三年的计划，旨在开发和测试一种模型，用于在购物中心环境中提供中等规模的天文和空间主题展品和编程，特别是在农村地区。该计划针对的是不容易进入科学中心或可能不愿利用此类设施的受众。该项目的展品和课程将基于太平洋科学中心久经考验的太空奥德赛·范计划，该计划目前在华盛顿州的小学巡回演出。该项目的第一阶段将是现有展品的测试交付，并在两个购物中心进行编程。第二阶段包括建造和测试最终的、更大的展品，并重新设计现有的程序，以更好地适应购物中心的交付环境。第三阶段将新测试的设备带到华盛顿郊区和农村的十个购物中心。
