The University of Padua Botanical Garden presents From Earth to infinity. Discovering the world of tomorrow, an extraordinary experience that aims at introducing the public to the various aspects of human presence in space as well as presenting its current and future challenges.

From 5 to 10 September ExoSpaceHab-X module lands on the lawn facing the Biodiversity Garden greenhouses, to be exceptionally displayed to the public. This cutting-edge mobile analog facility, designed to simulate life inside a Moon base, allows researchers to anticipate the challenges of real space missions. During the exhibition in Padua, visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the lunar habitat, discovering the secrets of life in space and the dynamics of astronaut life in confined environments, while being captivated by its extraordinary design.

For a thrilling first-hand experience inside ExoSpaceHab-X you can join one of the guided tours (held in Italian and English) by Serena Crotti and Michele Zanchi. Guided tours are included in the admission ticket and advance booking is not required (maximum 15 people per tour, subject to availability).
