What’s the daily life of an astronaut like Thomas Pesquet like in space? How are rockets and satellites launched into orbit?
This interactive exhibition offers curious visitors the chance to find out more about these men who get up close and personal with the stars on these satellites and rockets launched into space from Earth. Includes various fun and scientific activities to get involved in.
Three themed spaces:

Launchers
From Soyuz to Ariane 5, discover the notable launchers of their time; an incredible voyage into the world of propulsion.
