Space becomes new exhibition SURIANI ARIFF
Odyssey that more tangible with at ArtScience Museum.
How do you tell the story of space travel that spans decades in mere few hours? From manned space flights to space explorations, rocket science history and space technology, the NASA Human Adventure exhibition is profound look into these and other accomplishments and the human story behind it.
The exhibition brings space storytelling to live, beginning from the early dreamers who dared to reach for the stars to the subsequent technology developed in space travel. Across five galleries in the
on show, including many items centrepieces is
which have flown in space. One of the full scale construction of the front section
of NASA’ ive exhibit enables visitors to the flight deck, where astronauts fly the orbiter during actual launch and landings, and the middeck, where shuttle crew eat, sleep and work
on experiments. The spacecraft for transporting
huttle was also the world’s first reusable
cargo to space and back.
There are also some of the most extraordinary innovations developed by NASA over the past decades, such as the Jupiter nose cone that was launched into space and later recovered from sea. The experimental nose cone has covering which was developed to protect the nose from the where temperatures ctcould climb in excess of 1,000°C. These nose cones were key milestones in developing future re-entry vehicles that enabled
manned space flights.
