Sunday, January 18th, 2026 at 12:16:13 AM · 2026/Chabot Space and Science Center
This museum exhibit showcases aerospace engineering components, prominently featuring what appears to be a cylindrical spacecraft module with its interior exposed. A large circular heat shield or entry system component sits in the foreground, while the main body reveals internal mesh structures, electronic components marked with colored squares (orange and green), and various mechanical systems. The display is positioned on a white surface in what appears to be a modern museum space with large windows overlooking trees, allowing natural light to illuminate the metallic and composite materials of the spacecraft hardware.
