Research - National Space Centre and more...

I am planning a research adventure to the National Space Centre. I believe that a great deal of useful information can be gathered here that will greatly aid the design process further into pre-production.











Nation Space Centre in Leicester: http://www.spacecentre.co.uk

  "The National Space Centre is an all weather attraction for all the family. Situated in the heart of the Midlands, located just two miles from Leicester city centre,
the centre provides easy access from the M1 and M69.

On site facilities include over 400 parking spaces, gift shop, restaurant, locker hire and all the other standard facilities you would expect from a top visitor attraction."

There is a great wealth of information available on the NASA website:
"http://www.nasa.gov/"

 The BBC have an excellent resource online for learning about the universe, located at: "http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/universe/"

Another potentially great resource is the UK Space Agency website.

The YouTube channel for the UK Space Agency has many videos, interviews with a great deal of different people. Recently video game developer Richard Garriott travelled into space and there are a number of video blogs anwsering questions and detailing experiences. This video shows magnets operating within a space environment.
