Dayton Aerospace is honored to join the Air Force Museum Foundation in supporting the presentation of SPACE: A Journey to Our Future, a new temporary exhibit at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force located on Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Dayton, Ohio. This interactive experience is designed to spark imaginations by igniting the desire for space exploration and discovery, and inspire new generations of explorers to dream of the possibilities that lie ahead. It will be on display from January 28 to September 6, 2021.
Featuring content provided by NASA and the National Science Teachers Association, exhibit highlights include touching actual rocks from the lunar surface and the red planet, exploring a Mars Base Camp while walking through a full-size habitat and work pod, taking a spin on a centrifuge, and looking far into the future of our exploration of the universe. Visitors will also meet today’s explorers who are on the forefront of the search for answers to questions about the universe including how to protect it and what life exists out there.
“Dayton Aerospace is passionate about promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and we believe this hands-on exhibit is an excellent opportunity to promote important STEM careers to today’s youth,” says Chris Coombs, Dayton Aerospace president.
