Visitors will get a look inside the International Space Station when a NASA display stops at UNL next week. The exhibit arrives on campus April 24 and will be open to the public April 25 through May 1. Visitors can tour the exhibit on weekdays and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Admission is free.
The display will be located on the former greenhouse site just east of Oldfather Hall. The display demonstrates the unique environment in which three to six astronauts will live and work for months while orbiting the earth. The exhibit includes a food preparation area, a space toilet, an astronaut bed and a science work station. The International Space Station is a cooperative project between the United States, Canada, Japan, Russia and the nations of the European Space Agency. It will take 34 space flights to build the space station that is scheduled for completion in the year 2002.
