National Space Centre

The National Space Centre, the UK's only visitor attraction devoted to space science and astronomy, is in the city of Leicester, England, next to the River Soar. Housed in a building designed by Nicholas Grimshaw it opened on 30 June 2001. The Beagle 2 Mars spacecraft was controlled from the Centre's Landing Operations Control Centre. The centre has on display the only known Soyuz spacecraft in Europe (there is one at the Smithsonian Institution as part of the ASTP display).
