Your mission awaits. Do you accept? 

We are proud to announce the opening of Mission: Astronaut, a highly interactive exhibition that reveals what it truly takes to live and work in space. 

Blast off on a journey through astronaut training! 

This immersive experience invites visitors of all ages to step into the role of an astronaut and tackle real-world challenges inspired by space missions past, present, and future.  

With robotics, hands-on interactives, and STEM-based challenges, Mission: Astronaut visitors discover how teamwork and innovation make life beyond Earth possible. 

Mission: Astronaut is proudly presented by Maritime Launch, operators of Space Port Nova Scotia. 

Mission Highlights: 

• Meet the crew: The Astronaut Guides lead you through training missions, sharing stories of collaboration, precision, and creativity that power every successful launch. 

• Get ready for liftoff: Pack a space capsule, plan your supplies, and practice docking maneuvers through interactive challenges that simulate real training environments. 

• Suit up: Slip on authentic-style spacesuit gloves, design gear for extreme environments, and simulate essential tasks where precision is the difference between success and failure. 

• Learn to live in microgravity: Discover what it takes to eat, sleep, and stay healthy while orbiting Earth — where even the simplest tasks become an extraordinary test of adaptation. 

• Help solve future challenges: Conduct hands-on experiments to explore how space affects the human body, cultivate plants that might one day feed a Mars colony, and dive into research shaping the next generation of explorers. 

Join us as we explore life among the stars! 

Produced and toured internationally by award-winning exhibition producers Flying Fish, this traveling exhibition is supported by The DoSeum and the Intrepid Museum.
