A new app from NASA lets players design and model a deep space communications network, and/or a near-Earth network for command and control of multiple space platforms. It can be played online, or downloaded for separate play[^]. Looks like more fun than super-netting the office LAN with Page3!

Is that the kind of game that if I "win" I will be teleported on a spaceship and be part of an expeditionary team to go an an undisclosed location to walk through a stabilized worm-hole held in place by a big ring called a Stargate ?

No. If you pass the test the next thing you will hear is this:
"Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-dan armada."

If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Nope, you will be sent in a 5 years trip in suspended animation to a planet where the most advanced civilization is a race of blue oversized humanoid cats.

These NASA guys, seems that have nothing else better to do... ... As a side note, i see they have 3D models for several satellites and spaceships on that page, i didn't thought they were available for the public.

Played this game, but it's too easy. I need more challenging scientific games, like Fold.It

Does it get the identification of the space platform correct - I'd expect them to be quite a bit smaller than Everest so obviously harder to identify
