Space Theme Park Realisation Underway to Bring India’s Space Achievements Closer to Citizens
The development of the Space Theme Park is progressing steadily, aiming to offer citizens an immersive experience of India’s space journey. Once completed, the park will allow visitors to witness rocket launches directly from the country’s spaceport while exploring India’s remarkable advancements in space technology.
Major Attractions of the Space Theme Park
Rocket Garden
The Rocket Garden will showcase models of all major Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launch vehicles, including the Sounding Rocket, SLV, ASLV, PSLV, GSLV, and GSLV Mk-III. Landscaped lawns and designated photo points will enhance the visitor experience, while a central fountain will serve as a striking focal point of the garden.

The Space Port of India has long attracted visitors eager to witness the nation’s rocket launches. The newly developed Launch View Gallery will allow thousands of spectators to view launches safely and comfortably, providing a unique opportunity to share in the excitement and pride of India’s space missions.
Space Museum
The Space Museum will narrate the story of India’s space programme from its humble beginnings to its global achievements. The museum will feature six sections focusing on history, education, technology, applications, global collaborations, and future aspirations. Visitors will gain insight into how India’s space efforts have evolved to support national development and scientific progress.
