Pettit spent a total of 12 months on two separate missions aboard the International Space Station and launched Angry Birds Space floating in zero gravity. “The interactive games will encourage children to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics.” “Our partnership with NASA and the visitor complex has really been a great experience for us as a way to bring our brand from the digital world to the physical world,” Mitchell said. in Austell, Ga., developed, built and installed the Angry Birds Space Encounter attraction.ĭan Mitchell, who is Rovio’s director of location-based entertainment, said he is extremely excited to have fans take part in the Angry Birds Space Encounter.

Kennedy’s Associate Director Kelvin Manning said Angry Birds Space is an awesome addition to the visitor complex. Visitors can come face-to-face with Angry Birds Space characters, including Super Red, Lazer Bird, Space Bomb and Incredible Terence, as they follow their kidnapped eggs into an intergalactic wormhole, encounter Space Pigs and discover their superpowers. “Angry Birds Space Encounter is both a fun and educational experience.” “Today we’re doing something a little different, but we’re still talking about space,” Moore said.
