Astronautics exhibition – overview

Countdown, launch, reaching and surviving in space: the Astronautics exhibition is laid out chronologically, corresponding to mankind’s journey into space. An overview of our solar system is followed by information about early rocket technology and the development of rocket engines and manned space flight, including the Spacelab. Next, the function of satellites and probes is explored, followed by remote sensing. Numerous exhibits and models, such as rocket sledges, spacesuits and the Helios probe, as well as media stations and interactive demonstrations, guarantee a truly “universal” experience!
