Dawn of the Space Age covers space exploration from Sputnik to the Space Shuttle and into the beginning of the ISS and commercial companies.
There are several sequences referencing events in the Soviet space program and the Space Race.
This program covers a lot of history but could not include everything. Good for adults but also enjoyable for young people who weren't born when the last shuttle flew in 2011.
Complimentary ear defenders / noise reduction ear coverings are available upon request.
Please ask for them when you purchase your tickets or ask a staff member in the planetarium.
Please return the ear defenders to the staff member in the planetarium or back to
the ticket counter after your program so they can be sanitized for the next guest.
If you or a member of your party uses a wheelchair or requires accessible seating,
please let us know when you purchase your tickets so we can reserve the proper space
for you. A call or email in advance is also helpful. 708-456-0300 X-3372 or cernan@triton.edu.
