Cosmo

In the Cosmo exposition you can immerse yourself in space and cosmonautics. Explore the Mariner Valleys on our hydraulic simulator, put yourself in the shoes of the first Czechoslovak cosmonaut Vladimír Remek, and find out about the phases of the moon and changing seasons.

At the end of the exhibition, true enthusiasts can approach the gates of our iQPLANETARIUM, guarded vigilantly by Darth Vader, who will only let in those with a valid ticket

Mars Rover

Discover the Mariner Valleys, the largest canyon system in the Solar System, located on the planet of Mars. But stay alert during your excursion! Feel every bump, every jerk and every jolt for yourself with our hydraulic simulator. Not to worry though, you will be accompanied on your exploration by an experienced instructor who will train you in the use of the simulator.

Robotic arm

The probes sent to Mars are small mobile science stations that carry out all sorts of research on the surface of the red planet. Among other things, they are equipped with robotic arms capable of grasping a mineral on the Martian surface, for example. See how easy or difficult it is to pick up an object with a robotic arm. Unlike NASA engineers, you will be using a joystick - real probes are controlled by commands written in code and sent to them from NASA.

Soyuz 28 Landing Module

Take a step back in time with us and slip into the shoes of one of the Czechoslovak cosmonauts. Explore the Soyuz 28 spacecraft landing module in which Vladimír Remek and Alexei Gubarev returned to Earth in 1978. Vladimír Remek is the first cosmonaut from a country other than the USSR or USA. Sit inside the landing module model and experience, at least in part, how cosmonauts feel upon their return to Earth.

Black hole

Black holes are unimaginably massive objects from which not even one of the fastest travelers in the universe - light - can escape. If you get too close to such an object you’re done for! In our exhibit, you can try it out - throw a wooden ball symbolizing, for example, a star into the “black hole” and watch what happens as it nears its destination.

Tellurium and moon phases

Why do day and night alternate? What about the seasons? And how does it work in the Arctic Circle? Our tellurium will explain these phenomena to you in no time. Use your own power to simulate the movement of the Earth around the Sun and see the changes in how the Sun illuminates it over time. In the next exhibit, meanwhile, the moon plays the main role. In the Moon Phases exhibit, you can see the position of our natural counterpart in relation to the Earth and the Sun. The exhibit shows you how these celestial bodies are positioned in relation to each other and what is behind the alternation of the lunar phases.

iQPLANETARIUM and its guardian, Darth Vader

At the end of the Cosmo exhibition there is a gateway beyond which the whole universe comes to life: our iQPLANETARIUM. It is mostly open to the general public on weekends, holidays and vacations, while during the week it is mainly reserved for curious schoolkids. In order to visit the iQPLANETARIUM, you need to reserve a seat via our website or at the iQLANDIA ticket office.
