Countdown, launch, space flight and landing: the guided tour of our Astronautics exhibition takes you on a journey through space – from an overview of our solar system and early rocket technology to the development of manned space flight, including the Spacelab. The exhibition also explores the topics of satellites, probes, and remote sensing.

When will this event take place?

Discover which activities are taking place by checking our daily programme, which is published at around 9.20 each day. Our programme changes daily and includes guided tours, demonstrations, science shows and hands-on activities for individual visitors and small groups of up to five people. All programme events are held in German. They begin either directly where the activity is set to take place or at a guided-tour meeting point in the relevant exhibition.

Astronautics

Astronautics is a relatively young technical discipline and involves the transport of machines and people into space. We have now set foot on the moon and occupy the International Space Station (ISS), and thousands of satellites orbit the Earth. We also have many far-reaching plans for future journeys into the infinite expanses of the universe. The exhibition traces developments in the field, from early ideas and innovations to the current importance of astronautics in modern everyday life, along with the insights it provides into life here on Earth – or perhaps further afield.
