The RMSC’s newest exciting temporary exhibit explores the tasks and challenges required of a space explorer, requires teamwork to solve problems, and illuminates the science + tools needed to monitor damage to a spacecraft. Experience a rocket launch, explore how a lack of gravity can affect the body & mind, and discover how scientific observations and measurements can both differ in space. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sleep, eat, shower, and use the toilet in space, Astronaut allows you the opportunity to explore your curiosities. Exhibit interactives relay the physical and psychological effects on the human body when living in microgravity, and samples the technology needed to complete a mission. You’ll also learn about how astronauts are supported by a wide range of professionals who help them on every step of their journey.
