Science On a Sphere®

NEW! Science On a Sphere®

Imagine looking at Earth from space, witnessing a season of hurricanes moving across the Atlantic, watching commercial air traffic movements all across the planet, and examining changes in sea currents and temperatures across the globe. Science On a Sphere provides a three-dimensional representation of a view of the Earth and planets as if they were viewed from space.

This engaging new exhibit at the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame allows you to examine the planets and moons of our solar system and learn how space technology can aid in meteorological sciences such as hurricane prediction and global weather trends. 

United States Hall of Fame

Come live the human side of space at the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, complete with the sights, sounds and experiences of the famous astronauts who first ventured into the frontiers of space. Experience exhibits dedicated to our nation's astronauts, including the world's largest collection of personal memorabilia and realistic astronaut training simulators.

Explore a rare collection of astronaut artifacts and see remarkable displays, exhibits and tributes dedicated to the heroes. From Wally Schirra's Sigma 7 Mercury spacecraft to stunning glass etchings that line the Hall of Heroes, the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame celebrates the accomplishments of astronauts everywhere.

G-Force Trainer

After you see the Astronaut Hall of Fame, it's your turn to take the controls with hands-on activities and simulators, where you can suit up, strap in and blast off into an interactive experience that gives you a true taste of space. From the G-Force Trainer that lets you feel the pressure of four times the force of gravity, to the space shuttle landing simulator and riding a rover across the rocky Martian terrain, you can test your skills – and your nerve.
