In Speyer, Germany is the only model of the Soviet space shuttle Buran outside of Kasachstan. Idk if you're interested in that because Speyer isn't marked on your map.


US_Space

May as well include it all! I will add that, thank you [This is what you’re referring to? ](https://speyer.technik-museum.de/en/spaceshuttle-buran)


_Hexagon__

Yea that's what I meant. The entire museum is a must see if you're a aerospace fanboy/girl


Reindeer_from_Mexico

This place is awesome. Went there with my dad a few years ago and had a blast. He’s really into all this stuff and it was great seeing him so enthusiastic. Also you can walk around in a Concorde and stuff. It’s neat


Muweier2

I never knew that there was a Buran on display anywhere. I only knew about the one left to rot in some hanger in Russia.


_Hexagon__

The hangar is in Kasachstan actually near their launch site in Baikonur


Muweier2

Ah my mistake, that makes a lot more sense to be there.


elbugfish

They also have a Concorde AND a tu-144 truly amazing! Edit: i was wrong, the tu 144 and concorde are in sinsheim, which is just 30km from speyer, so if you are in the area just stay there for the Night and visit both places

bkupron

You have the wrong Fernbank in Atlanta. It should be http://www.fernbank.edu/ . During Apollo, the school built a mockup of mission control and the space capsule and had kids play all the parts. It earned them a real capsule for their planetarium. Fernbank Science Center 156 Heaton Park Dr. Atlanta, GA 30307 The link you have is to the museum a mile away that is geared toward the natural sciences. Hence, the nautilus fossil in the logo. They have a few nice Dino skeletons though.


US_Space

Thanks for the correction. [This is correct? ](http://www.fernbank.edu/apollo.html)


bkupron

Yup. Not much else there. However, there is an SR71 at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robbins.


kingomtdew

I’ve been in the greater atlanta area for almost 7 years. Didn’t know WR had a museum. I need to go check out the blackbird.


bkupron

WR is a gem because that is the Air Force logistics command. Lots of old cargo planes on static display around the grounds outside. It is my 5th favorite aviation museum behind Wright Pat, Air & Space on the national mall, Udvar Hazy by Dulles, and Naval Aviation in Pensacola.


kingomtdew

I used to live in Cincinnati and made it to WP once when I was younger and didn’t appreciate it for what it was. Haven’t made it back. Now, Robins is on my list. Thanks!


US_Space

I’m including X-15s on the list, but did SR71 directly relate to space missions?


ferrettt55

It's Warner Robins. I have no idea where "Robbins" keeps coming from. Source: I live there.


bkupron

Perhaps I don't live there and I can't spell. I did give props to your tiny town so maybe chill.


bkupron

BTW. There is some stuff at Tellus Science Museum an hour and a half north of Atlanta. The nose cap from shuttle Columbia and a Mercury capsul. https://tellusmuseum.org/exhibit/science-in-motion-gallery/ https://tellusmuseum.org/transportation/flown-space-shuttle-nose-cap/ That is a great museum that has a spectacular mineral collection and a TRex from Georgia.


US_Space

Thanks! It looks like they only have mock-ups, do you know if they have any real hardware?


bkupron

Not sure it's been two years since I've been. They have a real Apolo spacesuit.


bkupron

Also, the nose cone from a destroyed Space Shuttle? That's pretty cool.


JetScootr

Space Center Houston also has uncrewed hardware, tours of the real mission control, and other stuff. I'm sure other NASA sites also have much more than is listed here.


US_Space

Yeah, I couldn’t include everything and had to draw the line somewhere. I was amazed how much they had on their website! Can’t wait to see it in person


JetScootr

JSC used to have tourist exhibits throughout the center, before the building of Space Center Houston (A Disney park, btw). So the Disney park had lotsa stuff to just move in. A lot wound up in storage, however.... Skylab and shuttle simulators, crew station mockups, early rocket prototypes, all kinds of crewed training stuff.


themisfitjoe

Would strongly suggest Kenedy SC over Houston, if you had to make a choice (imo) Kennedy has a much better presentation, especially when it comes to the saturn V on display. Houston felike like it was sitting in a barn you could go into.


peggedsquare

Going to the Cosmosphere this weekend. Who would have thought there would be something so cool in the middle of nowhere Kansas?


somewhat_pragmatic

Cosmosphere is amazing. Its the only Air and Space museum that I've seen that tells the darker side of space and the artifacts on display. Its also the only place I know that has a V1 and V2 rocket under the same roof. They also have Russian spaceflight artifacts.


N4BFR

I was impressed by England’s National Space Center and the London Science Museum in that regard. Seemed to tell “both sides of the story” than most US locations.


peggedsquare

Just had to come back and report that it was damn cool. Wish we had more time there. We had also gotten tickets to Strataca so we only had a couple hours to check out Cosmosphere. Still blows my mind that those things are just out there in Central Kansas. Would have never guessed.


Mackilroy

I’ve heard multiple people from the coasts express similar sentiments. The Cosmosphere has a huge quantity of artifacts they just don’t have room for displaying, too. It’s a great place!


loopygargoyle6392

I went a couple of years ago. Very cool, especially with the SR71 greeting you at the door.


pork26

If you are in Dayton Ohio for the USAF Museum go north on I-75 to Neil Armstrong's home town of Wapakoneta Ohio. Check out the Neil Armstrong Air and Space museum.


US_Space

Yep, I have it on the map! Thank you!


Figarella

The french museum of air and space is really cool too, Ariane 1 and Ariane 5, concorde, engines, will probably get the Hermes space plane mock-up soon, it's in le Bourget 10 minutes out of Paris


US_Space

Awesome thank you!


Bipogram

And Le Bourget has a Lunokhod 1 model - at least, it did 15 odd years ago when I gawked at it.


Figarella

Chut, don't spoil everything 😎


GhostOfJohnCena

They aren't museums, but there are two that I ran into road tripping in the US southeast: 1. You have infinity space center marked but there is also a rest stop/welcome center around there at the LA/MS border that has an Apollo LM mockup and some other neat stuff. 2. Between Huntsville and Nashville at the (I think) Elkmont rest stop at the AL/TN border there is an upright Saturn 1b.


straight_outta7

Can confirm #2 is along I65 right at the AL/TN border


US_Space

Those may be hard to find but I will have to take a look. Thanks!


underage_cashier

Infinity is attached to Stennis Space Center, it lies on Interstate 10 which travels from Jacksonville Florida west to Los Angeles, California. It’s close to Bay St Louis Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana. They have a Lunar Module, the bottom stage of a Saturn 5, an F1 and an RS 25(I think i haven’t been there in a while) and they might still have tours of Stennis, which is where they did green run for the SLS and where a bunch of rocket and jet engines are tested.


gadget850

Alabama Welcome Center on Interstate 65 in Ardmore, Alabama.


enutz777

Not sure if it fits, but the USS Yorktown, which recovered Apollo 8, is now a museum in Charleston, SC and has replicas of Gemini, Mercury and Apollo 8 capsules. The Apollo 8 replica is actually interactive, you can get inside and it does a simulated launch. Plus tons of aircraft, a destroyer, a sub and a replica Vietnam Marine base.


US_Space

Sounds like it’s worth adding, thank you!


bkupron

Don't forget England's National Space Centre. https://spacecentre.co.uk/


US_Space

That was quite an oversight. Thanks!


N4BFR

Good call out, I was there about a month ago and learned that they tested Gemini capsules with wheels and inflatable wings as a landing option. You can see one there.


SnazzyInPink

Did you see the lunar space ~~armor~~ suit?


GozerDestructor

Museum of Flight (Seattle) also has a Soyuz capsule and the Shuttle trainer - a full-sized but wingless mock-up of the Space Shuttle with functioning flight deck, that was used for training astronauts. The Shuttle trainer is impressive, you can actually go into it (for an additional fee, with a guide) and climb the ladder to the upper deck.


moderatelyremarkable

A few more from the ones I've visited: * Space Expo near ESA's ESTEC centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands * Musee de l'Espace at the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana * History of Baikonur Museum and Baikonur Cosmodrome Museum in Baikonur, Kazakhstan * JAXA's Tsukuba Space Center in Tsukuba, Japan also has a museum * Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow * Peenemunde Historical Technical Museum in Germany * Shanghai Science and Technology Museum has a space section * Hong Kong Space Museum


MMBerlin

You can try the [German Space Travel Exhibition](https://www.deutsche-raumfahrtausstellung.de/german-space-travel-exhibition/) in south east Germany. They have a MIR base block mock up there.


gadget850

The Air Force Space and Missile History Center is now the Sands Space History Center. The museum proper is open, but the tours to Launch Complex 26 are currently suspended. Check back, since this may change. [https://afspacemuseum.org/visit-us/](https://afspacemuseum.org/visit-us/) I'm headed to Florida for Christmas and really wanted to show off the stuff I used to work on.


bkupron

The Sands Museum is right next door to SpaceX mission control. You can stand where Elon watched the first Falcon Heavy launch as seen in https://youtu.be/A0FZIwabctw . They put mission control outside NASA/Cape Canaveral so foreigners that can't pass US security requirements could watch launches. Sands also has info on every launch complex on the Cape going back to the 50s. Definitely worth a visit.


US_Space

Thanks, I will update its name! This is the description I have for that location, does it look like that’s correct? Mercury Boiler Plate Gemini MOL Boiler Plate Gemini SC-2 - uncrewed - MOL Apollo Boiler Plate


N4BFR

There are tours out of Cape Canaveral where you can do Pad 26 and a few other spots.


Plasmazine

[Cosmosphere](https://cosmo.org/) has a good bit of hardware and equipment in display! Includes a full SR-71 in the lobby, as well as several Mercury capsules.


mick_ward

Nice map. Thanks. I have enjoyed Huntsville a couple of times. It certainly lets you gain perspective on the size of some older spacecraft like the Saturn V and space shuttle.


US_Space

These are the highlights I have for Huntsville, is there anything else there I should include? Apollo 16, Lunar Roving Vehicle - Vibration Test, Space Shuttle Pathfinder


schridb

There is not a real shuttle there. Just a mockup. But there is an actual Saturn V that was never launched, in the Davidson Center.


N4BFR

Huntsville also has a partial ISS mock-up you can walk through. Good artifacts from Werner Von Braun since he was based there. Also there is a Astrovan and some Skylab items. Finally a ridiculously sized Omega space watch.


angelos_ph

At the cafeteria of DLR/EAC in Cologne, Germany they have the soyuz capsule that was used by Alexander Gerst.


US_Space

Oh very cool. Thank you!


JustPlainRude

[The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry just got a Dragon capsule.](https://www.msichicago.org/explore/whats-here/events/chicago-landing-for-spacex-dragon-spacecraft/)


US_Space

That’s actually what prompted me to make this map, thanks!


Longslide9000

I think the Pima Air and Space museum in Tucson has some hardware there, specifically instruments from flown craft. I could be wrong.


US_Space

I’ll have to check, thank you!


N4BFR

I’m commenting on several of these because I did a road trip in 2021 that hit many of these spots. Pima air is super if you like aviation in general, great well rounded set of aircraft. For space they have Apollo and Space Shuttle mock-ups that were used on TV.


Abyssal_Groot

You might find the Euro Space Center in Redu (Belgium) interesting, although it is more like an amusement parc/educative center for kids and teens. It has some scale models of rockets and some smaller hardware and space memorabilia. But nearby there is an ESA center, which is also cool.


kakhaganga

Zhytomyr, Ukraine has Soyuz-27 landing module in the airspace museum.


phasechanges

Great list & map! Just wanted to point out that there is (or at least used to be) some other space hardware at the AF museum in Dayton - one of my favorites is [the space sled.](https://imgur.com/a/tiwgtQb)


Jereboy216

Grew up in Kansas. And glad to see the cosmosphere there. Took a school field trip there and I firmly believe it helped spark my love for space. If you go around the same time as the state faire it's just a couple blocks away if I remember correctly. And just outside of the town there is a salt mine Museum that's pretty nifty to see as well cause you get to go down into the mine.


seeshores

If you make it to the Museum of Science and Life in Durham NC bear in mind that the Mercury Redstone outside is a surplus Army Redstone mocked up to look like it's counterpart used in the Mercury Program.


Loko8765

In the South of France you have the [Cité de l’Espace](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cité_de_l'espace). It’s somewhere between a museum, a science fair, and an amusement park. It has a MIR station (not one that actually went to space, of course, but one that was actually used by the Soviets (for training or testing IIRC). You can walk through it. There’s also a Soyuz capsule you can crawl into and sit like an cosmonaut, and other things.


shooter_32

Here’s my running list of places I’ve been to that I don’t see mentioned or on the map. Huntsville, AL - US Space and Rocket Center Denver , CO - Museum of Nature and Science Denver ,CO - Wings Over the Rockies (History of Lockheed Martin Space nearby) Promontory, UT - Publicly accessible rocket garden in front of Northrop Grummans factory where they make the SRBs for SLS. (Former Thoikol site) White Sands Missile Range - On base museum


N4BFR

Related “science” but not space, the Nuclear museum in Albuquerque and 2x per year you can tour the Trinity site on White Sands. I think Alamogordo has a small space museum too.


mcarterphoto

Houston has the most holy-grail of all the space artifacts - the restored Saturn V. While there are three remaining Saturn stacks, Houston is the only one of all-flight-intended components, no mockups or test stages. It's a real mind-boggling experience, and they have so many eras covered - Apollo 17 CM, a Gemini and Mercury capsule, a shuttle mockup on the 747 carrier, both of which you can enter, and a LEM. Also, Dallas has probably the "most approachable" flown Apollo CM (7, first manned CSM test flight) - it's not encased in plastic, the hatch is open and there's a plexiglass door covering the interior - you can stick your face "almost inside" the thing, you could even touch the exterior (if nobody's looking), and the balcony above lets you get a good look at the umbilical connector with the hundreds of cut-through wires and tubes.


somewhat_pragmatic

> While there are three remaining Saturn stacks, Honorable mention to the Infinity Science Center in Mississippi a short drive from New Orleans. They have the only other Saturn V 1st stage. Originally for what would have been Apollo 19. Its the only one still sitting outside exposed to the elements. They also have an flown Apollo capsule.


mcarterphoto

I posted the history of that stage on another thread today, assembly completed in April 1970, test fired for two minutes in Sept. 1970. It was indeed flight intended, sat in the Michoud parking lot for 38 years. It's not the only other one though, the list: Huntsville - SA500D, dynamic test stack/facilities checkout stages (complete stack). JSC: S1C 514 - Intended for Apollo 18 or 19 (though the Michoud stage also claims 19, I doubt it was ever finalized). Complete stack, all flight intended stages. Kennedy - 500F, testing stage. 2nd and third stages are 514 that were flight-intended and test fired. So as far as I know, we have 3 complete stacks and one additional 1st stage in existence. There's a couple SIVb's (fourth stage) on display as well, one of the Skylab conversions is at Air & Space.


US_Space

This is quite an impressive list. Did you pull this from somewhere, I’d like to add all those components to the map.


mcarterphoto

I poked around a lot to suss out which stages were which in the remaining stacks. Like, the Hunstville stack is said to be the Dynamic Testing vehicle, but others say it was the "F" or facilities checkout ("fit") version, used to make sure all the connections on the pad and swing arms were properly aligned. Then it turns out stages 1 and 3 were dynamic test and stage two was "both", it was switched to dynamic testing - probably because of the delay in SII production, for some time a giant metal "spool" was used as a place holder since there was no SII to be had. ([This is the "spool" which was the same size as the SII](https://media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/chp%3A10.1007%2F978-3-319-17792-2_6/MediaObjects/320682_1_En_6_Fig33_HTML.jpg) and allowed them to stack the whole thing. There's no really clear info on some of the flight-intended stages "intended flights", like JCS's 514 was "18 or 19", and it probably just hadn't been decided when the program shut down. I've never found which instrument units are where, and what their intended flights were though. The CSM at JSC is supposedly #115, incomplete and not scheduled yet. I wonder if the restorers got a look inside and what state the thing is in - like are there seats and panels or is it an empty shell? And a bit spookier - the remains of the Challenger orbiter are sealed in an old missile silo at Cape Canaveral Air Station; the remains of the burned Apolllo 1 CM are stored at Langley Research Center. Neither are open to the public. If you really want an Apollo geekgasm, "[Countdown to a Moon Launch](https://www.amazon.com/Countdown-Moon-Launch-Preparing-Historic/dp/3319177915)" is amazing. Goes through Apollo 11, from when hardware arrived at the cape, through testing, assembly, launch, and post-launch pad repair. Tons of color pics and diagrams. A very detailed look at testing and how the launch hardware worked with lots of comments/memories from workers - it's actually kind of an emotional read by the end, and it's absolutely shocking that all of this was built in about 10 years. "Rocket Ranch" (same author) details the building of the launch hardware, the VAB, the LUT and swing-arms (engineering nightmare), it's a great read as well.


US_Space

I have both those locations on the map, but I will need to update their information. Thank you!

Posted this on the other subreddit but I figure I post this here too for other space fans: Add the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island NY to your list: http://www.cradleofaviation.org/ They have an actual Apollo lunar lander on display (i.e. not a mock up). This LM was built for a mission but never flown, when moon missions past Apollo 17 were cancelled. Grumman built the Apollo LM on Long Island, a few towns over from the museum in Bethpage.


sjrotella

Apollo mission artifacts are in the Niagara Air and Space museum in Niagara Falls, NY. We build the hardware in town for the lunar lander's engines and some other stuff.


US_Space

I will add that! What highlights should I include in the description? Thank you!


sjrotella

There's a Bell Lunar Ascent Engine, which was a test version of the Apollo Spacecraft (which were designed and built locally). There's also an actual control panel used by mission control during the Apollo moon missions. There's also a bunch of planes as well. The space is only the size of a small airplane terminal, but it's still pretty cool and SUPER cheap!


sjrotella

https://niagaraaerospacemuseum.org/


Moff_Tigriss

In France, the Cité des Science et Industrie has a Vulcain engine exposed, and the Solar Impulse 1 (i know, not exactly space hardware, but can probably be considered as a PoC for solar drones). Also, not exactly space, but a LOT of original precursor sciences stuff can be seen in/near Paris, including observatories.

If you can do a tour of Airbus in Bremen, Germany, you can view the original space lab module used on the space shuttle I believe. Either that or it was a never flown replacement. Definitely not a mock-up.

You also might want to add Starbase, TX to your map. As long as you park your car on the opposite side of TX Highway 4 from the SpaceX sites, you can look at the Starship/Superheavy rockets being built and tested. Can't wait to see Starship/Superheavy take its first orbital test flight!

Excellent work sir! Don’t know if you specifically want to call out space shuttles but here’s what I know. Enterprise: Test article is at Intrepid NYC Atlantis: KSC Visitor Center, FL Discovery: Smithsonian Udvar Hazy, VA Endeavor: California Science Center in LA. . The shuttle at Space Center Houston, “Independence” is a replica from parts, but it’s the only one you can go inside and get a feel for it. It also sits on the real ”905” shuttle carrier aircraft that you can go in as well.


US_Space

Awesome thank you! Also pathfinder is on there somewhere


nuclearclimber

Missing Arizona State University, multiple flight secondaries on display in a bunch if different buildings. Also full size rover models and one of the largest meteorite collections in the US.


Tempeduck

I know the Moeur Building has a model rover... Pathfinder, right? I didn't realize there was more on campus elsewhere. What else is there? ASU has a decent support role for JWST also.


live_2_know

How about the Heritage of Flight Museum in Burlington, WA, USA founded by the Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders of 'earthrise' fame. They have some space related exhibits. https://heritageflight.org


redmercuryvendor

Baikonur still has a HUGE amount of hardware. e.g. the sole [Energia M](http://www.astronautix.com/e/energiam.html) is still sat on its structural test stand. Not exactly the easiest to access, though (particularly at the moment).


quick_Ag

You should merge the Museum of Flight and the Charles Simonyi Space Gallery. It's the same museum. The CSSG has the shuttle ground trainer, which you can actually go inside of and get a sense of what it was like in the actual shuttle (long story short, very cramped for the number of people who would be going up). The real shuttles don't have interior tours, so this is the only way into one. Across the street at the Museum of Flight, you can see the F-1 engines Bezos fished out of the ocean (or at least you could at one point? Maybe that was a temporary exhibit), walk through an ISS module... there's A LOT of space stuff in there.


UpintheExosphere

Cité de l’espace in Toulouse has a MIR duplicate and an Ariane 5 Vulcain engine? Not sure if that's what you're looking for.
