Health in Space: Daring to Explore

Lloydminster, AB/SK – The Lloydminster Museum + Archives is thrilled to announce the launch of Health in Space: Daring to Explore, a special exhibition developed by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, one of three museums under Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation, in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency. 

Health in Space demystifies the health challenges that astronauts face while living and working in space, such as variable gravity, radiation and isolation. Through authentic artifacts and captivating interactive activities, this exhibition will engage visitors to better understand Canada’s role in advancing health research. Discoveries in this field will be essential for the success of future deep-space expeditions and may also help solve medical challenges on Earth. 

Health in Space also includes video interviews with Canadian astronauts, which offer first-hand insight into their experiences. A special section within the exhibition highlights astronaut David Saint-Jacques’ recent mission, from his selection and training to the experiments conducted aboard the International Space Station.

The Lloydminster Museum + Archives is hosting the exhibit from January 21 to April 16, 2023. Complementing the exhibit are several educational programs open to schools and the public.
