Experience the challenges of the next generation of space exploration in this brand-new Planetarium show. By using exciting real-life projects like NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and the New Horizons mission to Pluto, the show highlights the extreme nature of spacecraft engineering and the life cycle of a space mission — from design and construction to the rigors of testing, launch, and operations. Blast off and take the voyage with us!
