These are small compared to the HUGE simulators they have at the college, but they are very well designed, and amazing tech, for in a classroom environment...
“This aerial photo shows the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Mississippi Test Facility opening its man-made waterway system to receive its first “Space Age” cargo -- an S-II Saturn V second stage Simulator -- built in California. Here, the S-II Simulator is shown aboard the river barge “Pearl River” leaving the MTF lock. The stage and “Pearl River” were lifted some 13 feet in the lock and transported to MTF’s Booster Storage Building. The S-II Simulator will be used to check out test stands and other facilities at MTF.”
The spherical LOX(?) tank is part of the cryogenic dock, seen here:

I believe that’s the A-2 test stand under construction on the left, protruding above the horizon. And...I’m thinking that’s the B-1/B-2 test stand in the distance to its left.

This Mosquito Simulator Cockpit has been built using authentic construction techniques from the original de Havilland Aircraft Company plans. The instrument panel and most of the internal fittings are genuine Mosquito parts sourced from aircraft flown by the Royal New Zealand Air Force in the 1940s and 1950s.The museum have made some small adaptations to allow its use as a simulator. As an authentic flying experience, it is just like the real thing.
Sandia researchers have built a scaled test assembly that mimics a dry cask storage container for spent nuclear fuel to study how fuel temperatures change during storage and how the fuel’s peak temperatures affect the integrity of the metal cladding surrounding the spent fuel.
Regulators could use the data to help verify computer simulations that show whether nuclear power utilities are complying with regulations that specify how much heat a dry cask can safely handle.
