Technological Integration: Showcasing advanced technologies and future missions in an accessible and engaging manner.
Interactive Elements: Designing interactive and immersive elements that appeal to a wide range of visitors, from children to adults.
Tourism Appeal: Creating exhibits and experiences compelling enough to draw tourists and become a must-visit destination.
