Currently under construction, Gateway will offer a look at the present and future of space travel via interactive displays.
NASA‘s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex has announced a new attraction called Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex, scheduled to open in March 2022.
Now under construction, Gateway will provide a look at the present and future of space exploration across 50,000sq ft of immersive displays featuring artifacts and exhibits. The multi-level attraction will house a spacecraft collection, and visitors will experience what it is like to travel in space through atmospheric effects and a 4D motion theatre.
Highlights include the Orion crew vehicle from NASA’s EFT-1 mission, an engineering model of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner crew vehicle, and the SpaceX Falcon 9 booster (Booster 1023). The exhibit will also include a replica of Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser, and scale models of NASA’s Space Launch System and ULA’s Atlas V and Delta IV Heavy.
Gateway’s ‘Robotic Trail Blazers Wall’ will offer interactive displays that investigate probes and satellites in space. The HoloTube presentation station allows guests to manipulate holographic imagery while learning about the James Webb Space Telescope.
Inspired by a galactic spaceport, Spaceport KSC is an immersive area that features a 4D flying theatre attraction with four journeys – Cosmic Wonders, Daring Explorers, Red Planet, and Uncharted Worlds.
