CASIS

The CASIS exhibit was given by Martin Marietta after President Clinton canceled the development of the Space Station Freedom project in favor of the International Space Station The exhibit focuses on the groundbreaking science that the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) does on the ISS such as treatments for disease, new building materials and consumer products. Designed as the core module for the proposed space station, the exhibit was renovated to reflect the ISS in partnership with CASIS.
