Description
Spaceship Aurora is a virtual trip into space. Here you will visit the Northern Lights, and will see their origin and effect on our planet, both naturally and culturally. You will take part in experiments, launch probes and investigate space. Spaceship Aurora is a visitor- and activity center
located at Andøya Space Center. Since 1962, we have launched over thousand rockets into space. This make Andøya Space Center a unique operating Space Center in Europe.
At Spaceship Aurora you can experience a virtual journey into space, learn to know the Northern Lights, how it effects our planet, and how the Northern lights as a phenomenon are reflected in Norwegian history and culture. You will take part in a virtual and exciting mission in the near space. Pilots, navigators, and scientists
have to work together to solve the same scientific- and engineering problems that meet real astronauts.
The Spaceship offers activities for all age groups. A Mission Commander will guide you and your crew through the mission. We can also offer fun and educational souvenirs from our Space Shop.
In the summer of 2016 we are launching new exciting educational experiments and 3D films on big screen in the visitor center. Fun and cool physics experiments for all ages related to technology, space, space physics and physics.

Romskipet Aurora har behov for vedlikehold. For mye ekstern protonstråling over lang tid gjør at vi trenger en tuning ;-). Oppdrag med Romskipet er derfor ikke mulig i perioden tirsdag 21.mars og onsdag 22.mars. Vi tilbyr uansett film, omvisning og spennende nordlysprat. #vifikserromskipet #spaceshipaurora
