Now open in the museum’s West Hall, Space brings together remarkable exhibits that celebrate both the first space age and the future of space exploration.

Discover inspiring stories of human achievement in space travel, and see significant space objects from a new perspective including:

• In a world first, two human flown spacecraft (Apollo 10 and Soyuz) displayed alongside one another, allowing visitors to compare the differences between a spacecraft that orbited the moon in 1969 and travelled to the International Space Station in 2015.
• An RL10 rocket engine, which has helped launch spacecraft to every planet in the solar system.
• The radio headset used by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong to communicate with Mission Control.
• The Sokol spacesuit worn by Helen Sharman, the first Briton in space.
• A three-billion-year-old piece of the moon, brought back to Earth by the Apollo 15.
