The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will be adding an exhibit called “Artemis II: Road to the Moon” starting March 28.
NASA exhibits include authentic Artemis hardware, a 14-foot-tall moon replica and other large-scale models, a crew showcase for personal items, and an inspection of spacesuits and tools for future missions. The exhibit will be located on the first floor of the Space Shuttle Atlantis attraction.
Visitors can retrace the flight path and explore the technology and teams that are making this country’s return to the moon possible.
The Brevard County-based attraction will also host a series of 25-minute presentations within the Journey to Mars area during Artemis II’s upcoming launch week. They will be led by experts associated with the Orion spacecraft, the Exploration Ground System, NASA’s Human Research Program, and the Science Mission Directorate. Artemis’ commercial partners are represented by Inside Gateway: Deep Space Launch Complex.
All Artemis: Road to the Moon activities are included in regular Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex admission. However, dates and times are subject to change based on Artemis II’s launch window. As of now, the mission is not scheduled to launch after April 1st. On launch trial days, only guests with the sold-out Artemis II launch viewing package will be allowed into the visitor complex.
