Proposed collaboration with NASA/ESA
For the development of this exhibition it is very important to have the following support:
Artifacts
Gloves, helmets, suits, samples of the tissue of EVA suits, Space shuttle thermal
bricks
Models
Launchers, spaceships, satellites, ISS
We would specially like to be able to count on the collaboration of ESA in order to
have a large replica of an Ariane launcher with about 10m to be positioned at the
exterior of the building of the CCVA.
Films and Images
Up to date video materials and still images for the graphic production of the modules
Web-supported Communication with the ISS
We plan to use the Mission-control module in the auditorium to host public
communication sessions between school groups and the ISS. We also would like tocommunicate with ground-based astronauts and space scientists.
Other resources
Several activities are always promoted within the exhibition theme. Space
educational resources would be an important tool for the activities.
It would be interesting to have simple space related documentation, in Portuguese, to
distribute among the visitors.
