HK Space Museum launches free special exhibition 'China's Lunar and Mars Exploration'

The Hong Kong Space Museum is staging a free special exhibition, "China's Lunar and Mars Exploration", from today (Sept. 27) until March 24 next year in the foyer of the museum, showcasing the key achievements and future outlook of China's lunar and Mars exploration missions.

Full-scale models of the Yutu lunar rover and the Zhurong Mars rover will be on display at the exhibition. Visitors will be able to study the structures and functions of the models and gain insights into the remarkable achievements in China's aerospace development. Visitors can also review the missions of both rovers through interactive panels.

During the exhibition period, the Hong Kong Space Museum will organize a series of complementary programs, including the "The Aerospace Science and Technology in China" Lecture Series, and an astronomy film show.

The museum will launch educational materials, including activity sheets for kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, and e-versions of the "Lunar and Mars Exploration Parent-Child Booklet", with photos and simple descriptions, enabling the public to gain a deeper understanding of China's achievements and developments in lunar and Mars exploration.

The exhibition is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and organized by the Hong Kong Space Museum.
