Exhibit
On display until November 18th
Learn about the history and legacy of the Space Shuttle!
Visitors to the exhibit will learn about the Space Shuttle's history through understanding its design and the people who were a part of the Shuttle missions. Hands-on activities bring Seeking Beyond to life as visitors design and test their own "space planes," learn what it took to fuel up the massive Solid Rocket Boosters, and design their own mission patch. The exhibit also explores the legacy of the Space Shuttle program on future space exploration missions like the Space Launch System and beyond.
