Experience the Earth from the perspective of an astronaut: The exhibition "View From Above" opens a world premiere in Graz, offering deeper insights into NASA, the International Space Station (ISS), and life in space. More than 170 fascinating photos and videos by NASA astronaut Terry Virts will be uniquely presented over 1500m².

The Fascination of Space – Experience it Up Close

The exhibition has been brought to Graz by scan.art founder and curator Gottfried Eisenberger, taking visitors on an impressive journey through space travel. In five stations, the story of an astronaut is made tangible – from intense preparations to returning to Earth:

1. Intro: The kickoff that prepares visitors for the adventure and introduces Terry Virts.
2. NASA Training: Insights into the demanding preparations of an astronaut – physically and mentally.
3. Launch Preparation and Rocket Launch: The exciting moments before lift-off and the spectacular rocket launch.
4. The Earth from Above: Breathtaking images of our planet, as seen only from space.
5. Life on the ISS: The daily life in the International Space Station, fascinating spacewalks, and unique experiences beyond the Earth's atmosphere.

Each station offers not only visual impressions but also personal stories from Terry Virts, who spent more than 7 months on the ISS.
