• The LuneXplorer
  • Climb aboard and test the LuneXplorer: a unique experience in Europe that lets you experience a mission to the Moon like a real astronaut. Feel the acceleration phases of lift-off and landing, understand the preparation and progress of a lunar mission, and immerse yourself in a realistic 40-minute space adventure. What if, this time, you were the astronaut?
• Martian terrain - Rovers take to the stage!
  • You thought Mars was out of reach? We'll take you there! Settle into the heart of a Martian crater and discover the animated, life-size replicas of the Perseverance (NASA) and Zhurong (China) rovers, currently searching for traces of past life on the Red Planet. The Cité de l'espace's scientific animators will show you how these robots advance on Mars, how they are piloted from Earth and what their instruments are used for - like the French SuperCam.
