“To recognize the end of an era—after 30 years of the space shuttle program—and celebrate the beginning of a new era of space exploration, Obscura partnered with NASA and the National Institute of Aerospace to invite the public to virtually explore the new frontiers of deep space and the expansion of the space program. Obscura designed an immersive educational experience, set within a 50-foot geodesic dome, which premiered in 2012 at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City, followed by a simultaneous showing at the California Science Museum in Los Angeles and the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. The exhibit features three satellite screens hovering in space in front of rotating planetary backdrops, including Earth and Mars. Narrated content tells the story of the next chapter in NASA’s Human Space Flight program.”
