Living in Space
Be part of the adventure and learn how to adapt to the rigours of daily life in space for months at a time on board the International Space Station (ISS). Discover how astronauts in the weightless environment work, entertain themselves and tackle such basics as personal hygiene, eating and sleeping among the stars. Become inspired by the engineering of this space station that sustains life and Canadian scientific experiments that reap a myriad of benefits. This modular, highly interactive exhibit incorporates multimedia with various objects, replicas and components used daily by astronauts during a mission to present the technical, psychological and physical challenges of life in space. Experience the extreme conditions on board the ISS-an incredible ecosystem in itself. So, are you up for the challenge?
Green Skies Ahead
Green Skies Ahead takes you on a tour of the innovative carbon-friendly technology that will shape commercial aviation over the next 50 years: high-efficiency jet engines; new super-light, super-strong, composite materials; innovative wing designs; and, cutting-edge navigation technology that will help create superhighways in the sky. Explore the fuel, cost, and carbon savings of these new technologies and examine their impact on the future of travel. See some of the futuristic energy-efficient aircraft designs on the drawing table today and decide if they are science or science-fiction.
