We have exciting news! Crew Galley meals will be available to employees, at a cost of $5 each, beginning Sunday, May 29. Because our team members are important to the mission, we are pleased to offer this meal benefit. We hope that avoiding the long lines of Mars Grill will create a more pleasant lunch break for employees.
We do ask that you understand the primary mission is to serve our trainees in the Crew Galley. Please note: Space Camp Team Leaders, when scheduled with their team, will continue to receive free meals, and Resident Advisors (RA) will continue to receive free meals when they show their badge.
To ensure an efficient way to purchase meals in Crew Galley, we are implementing a new process.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy this benefit. Thank you for being part of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center team. Have a great summer!
