The exhibition room “Space Dome”
In the exhibition room “Space Dome,” the first thing you will see is many artificial satellites and rocket engines. Some of these actually orbited around the earth and are displayed here after their term. The large satellite taller than humans and parts of the rocket are overwhelming.

“Kibou” experience section
“Kibou” is the first Japanese manned experiment facility in International Space Station (ISS), that floats above the earth even at this moment. There is a life-size model of Kibou in Tsukuba Space Center, so you can enter and observe it. You’ll feel as if you have become an astronaut with the inside that has been replicated down to the smallest details.
