NASA CoLab Island is a dedicated space in the online virtual world of Second Life. After downloading the Second Life application, you can enter Second Life and visit NASA CoLab Island any time, 24/7.

People or groups with ideas for building space-related 3D projects in Second Life can apply to host their project for free on NASA CoLab Island. Projects built on NASA CoLab Island in the past have ranged from a simulated Lunar lava tube habitat built by the Oregon L5 Society, to a 3D interactive information center built for NASA’s LCROSS mission.

NASA CoLab Island is also the gathering point for a vibrant online community of NASA and non-NASA space enthusiasts in Second Life. Community organizing meetings are held every Tuesday at 1pm Pacific Daylight Time.
