Ever wonder what it's like to be an astronaut and travel through space? Now you can at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum with the new exhibit Be The Astronaut.
Be The Astronaut at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum will place guests right into the world of space discovery at the new interactive exhibit. The pod-based exhibit will run from October 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018.
Developed by NASA's Langley Research Facility,
Be The Astronaut is broken down into three segments:
NAV (Navigation) Station to explore the basic concepts of the universe
SCI (Science) Station to make guests reinvent the way they think about science and technology used for space travel
FLY Station to put guests in control of different types of spacecrafts.

Be The Astronaut adds a whole new dimension to our already-thriving museum," said John Barry, CEO and President of Wings Over the Rockies, in a
press release. "The power of this exhibition to teach STEM concepts in a fun and engaging way will make it a favorite of adults and children alike."
