Rocket Park
Rocket Park is back at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center! It showcases six historic rockets that show how U.S. Army and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center rocketry led the American space program. Astronaut John Glenn called it the world's best rocket collection.
Apollo 16 Command Module
"Casper," the Apollo capsule, carried astronauts to the Moon and back. It orbited the Moon 64 times and served as the crew's home in space. Protected by a special heat shield, it safely returned to Earth with lunar samples, including the largest moonrock ever brought back.
The Frontiers of Space Exhibit
The "Dare to Explore: Frontiers of Space" exhibit at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center showcases the space technology of today. It features models of new rockets, spacecraft parts, and a SpaceX spacesuit that's been to space. This exhibit gives a glimpse of how humans will explore further into the cosmos.
Moon Rock
Visitors to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center can see a real piece of the Moon! Apollo 12 Astronaut Alan Bean picked up this rock on the second lunar landing mission and called it his favorite. It's a rare chance to view and learn about a genuine piece of our nearest celestial neighbor.
