Voyage Opening Day
 

The Voyage program overseen by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) provides a suite of ongoing space science education experiences for diverse audiences across an entire community. The experiences are based on the remarkable power of models to provide an understanding of Earth's place in the Solar System and the Sun's place among the stars.

These experiences are centered on a replica of the Voyage one to 10-billion scale model of the Solar System exhibition on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. NCESSE is making replicas of the exhibition available for permanent installation in communities nationally and internationally.

When a community purchases a Voyage exhibition, they become a Voyage Community and also receive a Package of Resources that supports: visitors to the exhibition, grade K-13 teachers, grade K-13 students, informal educators in museums and science centers, families, and the public.

A Voyage Community also has the ability to purchase comprehensive Supplementary Educational Programming through NCESSE’s Journey through the Universe program.

All Voyage costs are calculated on a strictly full cost recovery basis.
