Space mission

Since October 23, 2023, the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie (City of Science and Industry) offers a permanent route dedicated to the titanic challenges of orbital conquest. Far from science-fiction narratives, this exhibit unveils the behind-the-scenes of manned flights, immersing you in the role of an astronaut. The goal is to grasp the rigor and precision required for each launch, from survival in isolation to the perilous return to Earth. The route dissects the complex logistics and technologies necessary to inhabit outer space. Open until January 1, 2026, this scientific adventure transforms our perspective on the limits of humanity. It’s no longer just about contemplating the stars, but about understanding how we manage to reach them thanks to exceptional collective efforts. A must-see appointment to grasp the future of our celestial trajectories.
