The Frontiers of Flight Museum will present Moon Day, the largest annual space-themed exposition in Texas and celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11. The event will feature a full day of family-friendly, entertaining programs and activities. There will be over three dozen exhibitors. The first 200 students will receive a Special Lunar Sample Bag.
Moon Day honors the past, present, and future of space flight. This year, the museum's STEM-focused event also celebrates the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, on the exact anniversary of the first landing on the Moon, and includes exhibits, activities, and programs for all ages.
In celebration of the 55th Anniversary of National Moon Day, the Frontiers of Flight Museum will host its 16th Annual Moon Day event. It will be a day of space exploration featuring interactive activities, one-of-a-kind exhibits, and space-themed presentations.
In 1969, history was made, and the world was changed when Apollo 11 became the first spaceflight to land humans on the Moon. This monumental milestone, known as National Moon Day, marked the beginning of endless possibilities for space exploration.
For the first time ever, attendees of Moon Day will have an exclusive opportunity to view "Legends of Space Innovation: David Clark Company,” which will feature two rare prototype space suits and headsets designed and manufactured by the David Clark Company. The pieces are the newest addition to the Frontiers of Flight Museum and will be available for viewing through December 31.
This year’s event will also feature a special keynote presentation from Colonel Gregory H. Johnson, retired US Air Force officer, aerospace engineer, and NASA astronaut. He’ll share colorful and inspiring stories from his aviation and spaceflight experiences including his time as pilot of the STS-123 Endeavour. The STS-123 Endeavour crew performed a record five spacewalks and the mission was accomplished in 250 orbits of the Earth, traveling more than 6 million miles in 15 days, 18 hours and 10 minutes.
