Roger B. Chaffee
Incoming! and Live Show
The Chaffee planetarium will show the new feature Incoming! Narrated by George Takei, Incoming! was the result when the California Academy of Sciences developed cutting-edge visualizations based on real-time data from current NASA missions to show audiences the dynamic story of our Solar System.
Incoming! Show times during Roger That! are: 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 4 p.m.
A live show, created by the GRPM, will accompany the movie portion of Incoming! in partnership with NASA scientist Brent Bos, who is currently studying asteroids and grew up in West Michigan.
In addition to the show, the GRPM also partnered with Brent Bos and created a set of new interactive experiences outside of the Chaffee Planetarium. These include a lunar crater station, meteors under a microscope and a meteor pinball machine.
