On the first level, visitors will be transported into space and immersed in simulations and other experiences. The upper level will have guests delving into space through the lens of creativity and innovation.At launch, Wondrous Space will showcase various artifacts loaned from several institutions and is set to have two rovers from Carnegie Mellon University and a 10-foot-long rocket engine from Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Another key part of the exhibit is the Rover Design, an interactive station where guests can design and test their own exploratory rovers. This part of the exhibit is in partnership with, an innovative global company based in Berwyn that manufactures technologies that enable space exploration. “It was important to us to provide a glimpse into the real-world companies and people who are driving innovation in space science, and so we were intentional in choosing partners for this project,” Chief Experience and Strategy Officer at The Franklin Institute Abby Bysshe shared in a press release. “We assembled a diverse population of dynamic, inventive minds to inform and guide Wondrous Space, and we crafted an exhibit we are all extremely proud of.
