THE EXHIBITION

Life in Space presents the history of space conquest since the beginning all the way to the present day. Almost 100 unique items give an insight into the history of human involvement in space: parts and models of satellites, replicas of the Apollo capsule, space suits and accessories, the moon rock - you can even immerse yourself in an interactive space camp!

Did you dream of becoming an astronaut as a child? Here you can actually be one for a little while! Thanks to the simulators, visitors can steer spaceships and explore space and space stations. A truly...extraterrestrial experience!

5 SIMULATORS IN THE INTERACTIVE AREA

INTERACTIVE AREA SIMULATORS

Here visitors can experience the same sensations that astronauts and cosmonauts feel during their training and their stay in space. The simulators are not included in the ticket price, tokens can be purchased on site.

This simulator gives you the chance to try your hand at being a shuttle commander. Follow the display on the screen in front of you and use the joystick to maneuver your orbiter. Beware! You have only one chance to land since the orbiter does not have any engines to take you around for another try.

This is a flight simulator in 3D graphics, which offers a realistic piloting experience of the F18. Being a pilot of military aircraft is a requirement much appreciated by space agencies, especially when it comes to test aircraft (test experimental aircraft and generally are able to cope with emergencies and unforeseen events). The first American astronaut candidates were selected by NASA in 1959 for the Mercury project with the aim of orbiting astronauts around the Earth in single-seater capsules. Military services were asked to provide a list of military test pilots with specific qualifications.

SIMULATORS IN THE INTERACTIVE AREA

INTERACTIVE AREA SIMULATORS

The Multi Axis Trainer used at Space Camp simulates a tumble spin one might experience in space. Based on the Multiple Axis Space Test Inertia Facility used during the Mercury program, the MAT provides the feeling of disorientation experienced during an out-of-control spin.

This simulator gives you the chance to try your hand at being a shuttle commander. Follow the display on the screen in front of you and use the joystick to maneuver your orbiter. Beware! You have only one chance to land since the orbiter does not have any engines to take you around for another try.

Housed inside an enveloping seat, this interactive experience simulates the movements and displacement of air, visitors will experience a very real simulation of a walk on Mars.
