New Exhibit, Space Station: Science On Orbit

Changes are afoot at the Mission Center Complex.  Endeavour is moving to make room for a new, permanent exhibit ‘Space Station: Science On Orbit’. This exciting, new exhibit will immerse visitors in the engineering that went into the International Space Station as well as the science taking place on it; hearing from many of the engineers, scientist, and astronauts that have been involved.  The exhibit will feature several interactive exhibits and will show how the research being conducted in space is used to improve life on Earth as well as how to survive long-duration space exploration.  Visitors have the added benefit of seeing Space Camp Trainees conducting training and simulated missions as part of the immersive exhibit experience. Pardon-our-Progress-300x225.jpg waves
