Cosmodome

The Cosmodome in Laval, Quebec, opened in 1994 as both a space science museum and an education centre, uniting the Space Science Centre and Space Camp Canada. After severe financial trouble and a government bailout in 1997, it continued as Canada’s only museum devoted entirely to space sciences. Its distinctive collection includes one of only two lunar rocks publicly displayed in Canada, collected by astronaut James Irwin during Apollo 15. Alongside exhibits, Space Camp Canada uses simulators such as the 1/6th Chair, Zero G Wall, Mobility Trainer, Manned Maneuvering Unit, and Multi-Axis Chair to give participants a physical sense of spaceflight and work beyond Earth.
