Prepare for interplanetary exploration!
Go on a journey to the Moon, Mars, asteroids, Jupiter and beyond in our immersive fall exhibit Be the Astronaut, produced by Eureka Exhibits and presented by Repsol.
Learn how an astronaut trains for a deep space mission, drives a rover, uses a robotic arm, plans a mission in two dimensions and flies it in three dimensions.
Land on multiple worlds and navigate a mission using simulations derived from NASA’s Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) space probe data.
Hop in the pilot seat of your own space capsule to experience what it’s like to be an astronaut, only at Space Center Houston for a limited time!
This fall exhibit provides an up-close look at deep-space exploration and why it’s important to push boundaries and discover new worlds. Don’t miss your chance to experience Be the Astronaut!
