Exhibits: Space: The Atomic Frontier

Back to Exhibit Floor Plan

We have explored all the continents and the depths of the oceans, but with the use of atomic power we can also explore the final frontier: space.  Space exploration will make major contributions to our society in the next few years.  Nuclear propulsion will enable man to travel into space to visit the moon, the planets and the stars.  Yesterday’s Star Trek will become tomorrow’s world.  See it at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History!

Exhibition and Components:  Visitors will challenge themselves to invent a space mission to the far planets using technologies of nuclear propulsion.  Guests will view past technical achievements when nuclear systems provided power to go to the moon or probe the solar system and examine new programs that could involve nuclear space technologies in the future.

Square Footage and Location:  600 square feet of exhibit space.  Located in the Technology section of the Museum.

Total Sponsorship Amount:  $200,000
