Located at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio (1100 Spaatz Street), this venue has an impressive collection of space items. Space exhibits include a Mercury spacecraft (genuine but unflown), a Gemini capsule (used for testing, but unflown) and the VERY flown Apollo 15 command module, Endeavour. An unusual device on exhibit, the Marquardt Space Sled, was created to help an astronaut to maneuver during an EVA. It lost out to the MMU—and a developmental mockup of that unit is also on display.
The museum (including parking) is free; there is a charge for attending the on-site IMAX Theater.
