EXPLORE THESE FUN INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES!

DOUBLE CHAIR

Experience the thrill of landing on Mars with our Double Chair space simulation. Sit inside an enveloping seat that mimics Martian terrain movement and air displacement. Feel the reality of exploring the Red Planet like never before!

MULTI AXIS TRAINER

Step into the Multi Axis Trainer (MAT) and experience the dizzying spin of space just like astronauts do. Modeled after Mercury program training, this simulation recreates the tumble spin Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott faced on Gemini VIll. Can you handle the chaos with no controls to steady yourself?

ESA KIDS

Dive into space with ESA Kids, an app packed with fun educational games for all ages. Little explorers can enjoy coloring and memory games with Paxi while older pioneers tackle missions like building spacecraft and landing on planets. Challenge the whole family with space trivia and uncover the wonders of the universe together!

LAND THE SHUTTLE

Step into the shoes of a shuttle commander with our thrilling space simulator! Follow the onscreen display and use the joystick to maneuver your orbiter. Test your skills and see if you can safely land the shuttle with just one chance. Do you have what it takes to succeed?

ISS VR PLATFORM

Explore the International Space Station 400 km above Earth through virtual reality headsets. In this simulation experience, developed in collaboration with ESA, ASI and astronauts who have long stayed on the ISS, visitors will find out how to move between zero gravity modules, and learn about life on the International Space Station.

THE VR MOTION CHAIRS

Visitors can sit in the VR motion chairs and wear Meta Quest 2 headsets to experience a 2-minute and 10-second VR roller coaster ride that moves around a space station with astronauts at work.
The experience runs via the “Roller Coaster” app hosted on the Meta headset’s server, fully synchronized with the chair’s motion system.
