overview : The Michigan Space & Science Center, opened in 1977, is on the campus of Jackson Community College. It was built with matching state and college funds as a tribute to several Michigan-connected astronauts.
collections : The Center presents memorable hands-on experiences in which visitors can view a moon rock through a microscope, sit in a space capsule simulator, try using a glove box like those used to examine moon rock, explore a black hole, or examine the moon's surface through 3-D glasses. Drive a full-sized replica of the Mars Pathfinder, using a computer and 3-D glasses, like scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory did during the successful 1997 mission.
