From Alouette to the Canadarm and beyond, this fascinating exhibition explores Canada’s many contributions to space exploration.

Learn how Canada’s astronaut program got off the ground, and get to know some famous Canadian space travellers. See the first-ever Canadarm, and a full-scale engineering model of Canada’s first space satellite Alouette-1, launched more than 60 years ago.
