NASA Exploration Experience at Sci-Quest

News Courier: NASA Exploration Experience at Sci-Quest

The lives of most Huntsville area residents are closely intertwined with the space program, considering the city is home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Now they'll get a chance to journey through the past, present and future of space exploration, and along the way see a vast number of NASA-inspired technologies that improve our life on Earth.

NASA's immersive, hexagonal theater – the Exploration Experience Pavilion – will visit Sci-Quest, Hands-on Science Center on Feb. 11 through March 6.

The Pavilion will allow Sci-Quest visitors to be taken to the edge of the known universe, and then be transported to the beginnings of exploration. They're then propelled into the future to glimpse how NASA plans to revolutionize the way tomorrow’s explorers will live and work in space. The journey includes a visual timeline of vehicles that paved the way for future space flight, and a look at those NASA technological advances in space.

There is no additional admission fee to the NASA exhibit. NASA's Exploration Experience Pavilion exhibit will be open to the public during regular operating hours, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
