For years, the San Diego Air & Space Museum’s world-class collection of space craft, artifacts, suits and mementos were displayed throughout its location in the historic Ford Building in Balboa Park, including in the Rotunda, special exhibition space and in the Modern Jet Age & Space Gallery.

Now, for the first time ever, the Museum’s historic space collection will be displayed all in one place when SPACE: Our Greatest Adventure opens in March.

SPACE: Our Greatest Adventure will employ the Museum’s unique space collection to tell the unique story of mankind’s quest to explore the great unknown outside Earth’s fragile atmosphere -- from the beginning with Sputnik and Explorer One, through the legacy programs of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, to the Shuttle program, and onto the International Space Station, Mars and beyond.

SPACE also will include a section on the latest events related to the space program, as well as a look at future possibilities.

SPACE will be informative, educational, interactive -- and most of all -- fun for the whole family, with selfie stations on the Moon, Mars and in the International Space Station, and hands-on learning experiences for explorers of all ages.

The Museum’s timing couldn’t be better, as NASA celebrates several milestones and 50^th Anniversaries in 2019, starting with the Apollo 9 50^th Anniversary Celebration at the San Diego Air & Space Museum on March 13.
