On Saturday April 25, the Swiss Space Museum offers two guided tours at 1:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. The first, led by Maxime Aklin, explores the history of rocket engines—from early pioneers like Robert Goddard to modern innovators—featuring highlights such as a real Soyuz turbopump you can even touch. The second tour, led by Director Guido Schwarz, traces lunar exploration from Apollo to Artemis, including global missions and future Moon plans, with a virtual reality lunar landing experience.
On Sunday April 26, the museum blends space history with computer culture. A guided tour at 12:00 is followed by a 13:30 talk on the Apollo Guidance Computer by Lena Ku and Neil Fraser, showcasing how software was developed for this iconic system and the challenges involved. Both events are held in English and offer a hands-on look at early spaceflight technology and programming.
