Walk among hundreds of large objects—including a Spacelab 2 X-ray telescope carried into orbit by the US Space Shuttle Challenger and an iconic Sno-Cat. Explore the aisles of over 30,000 metres of shelving containing objects from Stephen Hawking’s office, and a toy duck that helped a spacecraft land on a comet.
