| Visitors entering our pavilion are treated to the "Picture Yourself in Space" photo booth. Children and adults alike were given their picture. Also go to the photo booth page. | Extremely popular, the "Dock the Shuttle" display interactive exhibit was supplied by Johnson Space Center. The seats were filled continously with would-be shuttle pilots. |
 |
 |
| The Mini-drop Tower Demonstrator exhibit introduces people to our work with microgravity experiments. Here, GRC's Richard DeLombard prepares a "package" for a drop. | Richard explains to interested visitors what they saw on the "live-action" display. Using VCR technology, the action can be stopped, slowed and replayed. |

 |
| Our literature table was constantly swarmed with eager customers. So popular, indeed, that we ran out of much of the literature before the show was over. Next year, we'll bring more! | GRC's Robert Corban and Fred Kohl, standing by the ISS model kiosk. The model was popular with our visitors. During business hours, we used laser pointers to indicate the various modules of the ISS during discussions. |

| Visitors outside of the ISS U.S. lab module. Inside, working models of the Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR) and the Fluids Integrated Rack (FIR) show our visitors what it will be like to work in space. (kinda) The diameter of the exhibit is actual size. (~14 foot diameter) | In addition to the ISS U.S. Lab mockup, shown here with all rack doors open (CIR, SAR and FIR), GRC also sponsored two astronaut signing sessions with astronaut Scott Horowitz (above) and the other with astronaut candidate, Nicholas Patrick.

| The ISS 3-D video exhibit, shown here with MSFC's Dave Dooling and Twila Schneider. | MSFC's Michael Stewart demonstrates the Glovebox (GBX) exhibit. |

| Michael Stewart demonstrates the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) to visitors. The MSG will be onboard with the FIR and CIR in the ISS U.S. Lab. | MSFC's Dave Dooling and Angie Jackman at the Materials Science display. |

| Xuan Nguyen at the helm of the photo booth is shown in front of the large shuttle model that was part of our exhibit. | Terri Rodgers prepares to photograph a visitor at the photo booth. Behind her are the static ISS displays that lined part of the wall in the pavillon. |

| An overview of the exhibit, taken in front of the photo booth. A Microgravity Mini-Drop Tower demonstration is in progress while crowds swarm the literature table. The ISS U.S. lab can be seen in the background. | Looking along the wall containing the SPD display with the MSG behind the shuttle docking simulater. The number of people who passed through the exhibit is staggering. |
