Hard at work getting ready for !

NASA’s window section of an Orion capsule mockup is the centerpiece of our new Artemis exhibit. It was donated by NASA and we have been working on designing a full exhibit around it. The frame is complete with screens newly mounted inside of the windows to give everyone a glimpse of what life was like inside for the recently completed Artemis 2 mission with more related artifacts to be part of the final exhibit premiering Saturday!

The full schedule for day one of Springfield Space Week is posted and filled with lots of new experiences to kick it all off!
