The National Space Centre - Leicester England
Its main feature is the 41 metre high "Rocket Tower", which dominates the local skyline. The semi-transparent tower, which is clad with high-tech ETFE "pillows", was designed specially to house the attraction's largest artifacts, including huge rockets. The tower has been designed in such a way that the side of the tower may be partly detached again in the future to allow easier access during replenishment of large exhibits. Several "decks" placed at various heights down the tower, connected by a series of staircases, have been incorporated. The award winning National Space Centre is the UK's largest attraction dedicated to space and is based in Leicestershire. The sight of the Space Centre's Rocket Tower marks the start of the journey you 'll take to discover Space through a sieres of breathtaking and interactive exhibits.
