Can you put the puzzle together? Blasted in 1973, America’s first space station, a vital research platform, Skylab is famous for pushing the boundaries of human space exploration. However, 5 years later Skylab re-entered Earth’s atmosphere, breaking apart by the sheer velocity and force piercing through the air leaving scattered debris from offshore Esperance to Mundrabilla, close to the Nullarbor.

​

The Esperance Museum of the Skylab Exhibition houses the most comprehensive collect of Skylab memorabilia. Stepping inside the museum is teleporting back in time to when humanity began exploring space. See recovered Skylab debris, examine heat-resistant tiles that were used to protect against the harshness of space, peer into a recovered food container, and complement the challenges of long-term space travel.

It reminds us of the power of international collaboration and the ongoing quest to push the boundaries of what's possible. The Skylab Exhibition is a must-visit for all space enthusiasts, history buffs, or those simply curious.
