Space exploration comes to California Science Center in shape of new exhibition
POSTED 02 Nov 2015 . BY Tom Anstey
The immersive exhibition is designed to give a real feel for space exploration
California Science Center has debuted a new immersive visitor experience, enabling guests to see life through the lens of an astronaut.
The Journey to Space exhibition, accompanied by a Journey to Space 3D film, allows visitors to experience the sights and sounds of space exploration.
The Science Museum, which is also home to the Space Shuttle Endeavour, examines the environment of space in the new exhibition, with hands-on, immersive environments including the Density Lab – an experience which will make visitors feel the disorientation of space flight when there is no up or down – along with interactive games, and footage of crew members on board the International Space Station. Visitors will also learn about the vacuum of space, radiation, meteoroids, and temperature extremes, while getting a look at all of the ways in which the forbidding environment of space can challenge human exploration.
The IMAX movie by K2 Films explores the past and future of human space travel, taking audiences on a behind the scenes tour of the international effort to prepare and send astronauts to Mars within the next 20 years, also showcasing the challenges that exist in space travel today.
