Did you know that 40 years ago, on August 26, 1978, the first German spaceman, Sigmund Jähn, went into space on board of a Soviet rocket? Since then, ten more German astronauts have followed him. What they experienced on the space stations and what they brought back from space, and how German space travel was organized before and after the reunification in 1989, can be discovered in the exhibition 40 Years of Germans ins Space. With the help of around one hundred objects, such as the launch key for a Soyuz rocket or a Sokol space suit, the German Museum of Technology let´s visitors discover the main events of the separate and joint German space flight.
