We are looking forward to the new year as we are happy to officially announce Health in Space: Daring to Explore, a special exhibition developed by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency.

Health in Space demystifies the health challenges – such as variable gravity, radiation, and isolation – that astronauts face while living and working in space.

Through authentic artifacts and captivating interactive activities, this exhibition will engage visitors to better understand Canada’s role in advancing health research. Discoveries in this field will be essential for the success of future deep-space expeditions, and may also help solve medical challenges on earth.

Health in Space also include video interviews with Canadian astronauts which offer first-hand insight into their experiences.

A special section within the exhibition highlights astronaut David Saint-Jacques’ recent mission, from his selection and training to the experiments conducted while aboard the ISS.

Come see it next month from January 28 – April 19 at the Cranbrook History Centre.
