About Moonshot Museum

Moonshot Museum sits inside an active commercial space facility on Pittsburgh's Northside. Visitors can view lunar spacecraft under assembly, including a lander bound for the Moon's South Pole, and see the engineering behind a lunar rover. Interactive exhibits cover space careers, debated topics in space law, and mission patch design, and visitors can also run a simulated lunar mission. The museum says it is the state's first space museum. Because it operates within a working spacecraft facility, schedules can change during spacecraft testing, so checking current hours before a visit is advisable.
